spontaneous sf trip



My family decided to go to San Francisco shortly for dinner. And although we weren't there for long, it was an exciting trip. It seems like I always post about San Francisco here but I do loveee going there!

Instant Camera

Just got a Fujifilm intax mini, can't wait to use it!

Japan Missions 2013

I got back from Japan a little over a week ago, but it feels like its been dayzzz since I was there. It took me a while to post up pictures from my trip but here they are! Enjoyyyy!

From San Francisco, Caifornia to Incheon, Korea to Hiroshima, Japan!

Everything is so expensive but packaged veryyyy nicely

Literally tired to drink a new drink every day. Soo yummyy!

View outside our room at Daiichi Church

One of the cool looking Japanese houses (I should've gotten closer for this pic -.-)

Yummyyy popsicles and ice cream

At one of the temples before the getting to the Hiroshima Castle

People's written prayers to the god's

Hiroshima Castle

Okonomiyaki, one of the famous foods of Japan

Our teams awkward group picture(HAHA) at Peace Park. We learned a lot about the Atomic Bomb attack at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

My (VERY) awkward picture next to an original building that was ruined by the atomic bomb

At an arcade(just to take pictures) before getting our groceries

Our groceries. People stared at us for buying so much.

Connie's punishment for losing a game :)

Me inside the original Mini Cooper. Car's in Japan are tiny!

Pastor Lee has 7 kids, 6 are adopted from Korea. SO CUTE! I miss them all :(

I ADORE this picture. Somang(Hope) holding his sister for a pic because I told him he had to pose if he wanted to play with my camera.

We visited a famous island called Miyajima where the deer roam freely and let you pet them.

After a ride on the cable cars we got to the top of the mountain.  Next to me is Onyu(12 yrs old), Pastor Lee's second child, and an inspiring ballerina with a beautiful heart to use her talents to serve God.

HEHE

I lovee this photo! This was at the kids camp we helped out at.

At a temple in Kyoto, Japan

Soba noodles in Kyoto

Super cuteee donuts!

It was hot and humid, but Japan was really good! We went to Daiichi Church in Hiroshima to help Pastor Lee where ever he needed us. We gave testimonies, performances, visited other churches/pastors, visited a senior center, helped clean the church, passed out tracks to people on a shopping street, and bonded with the cute Lee family children. We did a jumble of random things but hopefully through us people were blessed because we were definitely blessed by them. It was inspiring to see pastor's in Japan work hard for God's name to be heard and patiently(emphasis on patient!) do what God has called them to do.
It was awesome to be in Japan and experience the people and the culture first hand.

There are sooo many pictures I want to share but these are a few of them. In most of the pictures we were in Hiroshima, but some are from Kyoto because we went to visit there on our last day.

Can't wait until missions next year!
