One old man I talked to had been trapped for three days in the top floor of the Sendai Airport. I was glad to meet him, because I remembered seeing that airport on the news and praying for the people trapped inside.
From time to time, missionary (and avid anime fan), Yuki-Anne, gives us an update on her experiences in Japan, including remembrances about her arrival in the country and discussion about her work following last year’s earthquake.
Yuki-Anne continues to remain there, working to spread the gospel and loving the Japanese people. I encourage you to read Yuki-Anne’s short May newsletter, which relates her recent experiences, particularly in working with young people. I also encourage you to give financially, if possible, to support her continuing work with JEMS.

It is always good to hear from the missionaries in Japan. Thank you for the update!
Absolutely – and no problem, man!
