Blame It on the Olympics

 November may seem like a strange month for a barbecue, but for over 10 years we've had one the first week of November and it's been sunny and cool, with no rain...ever.

This year however, the area of Harumi where we've held the barbecues is being converted to the Olympic Village for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

So that meant we had to improvise and hold them in a local park...until we heard the forecast.

And so it was that our barbecue became a picnic held in our meeting room. While Emi played games with the children, Carol and the moms talked about a project to help a C&MA pastor in the Philippines working with impoverished children. It was a good day!
