Last night we were blessed to have Murray Uomoto from Japan at our church for a fellowship meal and talk. We all enjoyed hearing from him, but here is Emelie's own unique take on the evening....
Tonight, we went to hear a missionary from Japan speak. Always the photographer, here is my documentation through photos.
 |
| And to start of my photos....SQUID JERKY!! I was willing to taste it (but it was about three years old). I was the only one. |
 |
| The back of the squid packaging. Ted insists that one package will be enough! |
 |
| Japanese letters and the sounds they make at a glance. Dig the pictures. Awesome. |
 |
| A close-up of my favorite little Japanese character thing. While we uncreative Americans would pick something like "open" to represent O, the Japanese card thing picked a monster-ish creature! I'm honestly not making fun of the monster I luv it :)! |
 |
| Here is John Calvin as we know him.... |
 |
| ...and John Calvin in Japanese! |
 |
| The inside of John Calvin in Japanese |
 |
| You know you're a book freak when you get excited that there's less than 2000 copies of this book in the world and you have one of them :D. It's in Japanese. I couldn't read it. I didn't care. |
 |
| A picture of a poster of the most famous tenor in Japan. I took a picture, mainly for posterity. _Inigo Montoya: I do not think that word means what you think it means_. |
 |
| More English/Japanese translations |
 |
| It was so weird, because the English books opened the way books do. Japanese books opened backwards. So wild. |
 |
| I even learned cool things about America. This marker shows the first recordings of Christianity in America. I'm gonna research that later, I know I will. |

It's actually really easy, because it sounds just like it looks.
