12 months in Kyoto, Japan

OK, let me begin with an update of the last 12 months. I will post a testimony of 2007 next time but for today here is the last twelve months in pictures.

February 07 we arrived in Kyoto and joined our new church, Kyoto Gospel Church. Now our wonderful family.

March 07 we began our English classes.


April 07 We made some crazy friends who helped me celebrate my birthday.



May 07 Then did lots of sightseeing, especially - Cherry blossum viewing.

June 07 We finished our Japanese language course. It was a beginner course, now we are experts at speaking Japanese --- not.


July 07 And more sightseeing with our friends and students.


August 07 was festival time - Gion Festival and Yukata night at Church.

September 07 We had another English Quiz Night. We had 3 over the year. All three were lots of fun.

October 07 we started an English club called Nexus English Club. Great place to practice English and connect with other people and lots of fun.


November 07 my sister and her family came for a visit. It was so good to have some family visit.


December 07 a team from Ipswich City Christian Church came for a visit and serve in our English classes.


January 08 and finally we enjoyed the first week of the year with friends hanging out and eating.
Japanese people have holiday time from New years day for a week and enjoy spending time with family. It was amazing to see them stop.

So that was our year at a glance and it only covered a fragment of what we experienced and saw. Hopefully stayed tune for 2008 in Kyoto.
