Friends from Japan


In September Sister Fujisawa ( a lady Tyson taught on his mission) came to see us. We were so lucky to meet her sister Keiko, daughter Mariko and granddaughter Me (pronounced May). My kids had so much fun playing with them. I amazed with how well Isaac communicated with these sweet sisters. They speak some English, but it isn't easy. Isaac was a chatter box, he didn't care if they talked to him or used had signals, he was in heaven with them here. I was touched to see how nothing stopped Isaac from making instant friends. He didn't understand what they were saying but he did a good job of interpreting for them and making all of us laugh!

Tyson took our friend up to the Unitas (I had to stay home because we didn't have enough seats) The love seeing the beautiful waterfall and scenery. On the way back he stopped at his dad house in Kamas. They had a blast riding four-wheelers all over his property. The highlight of the day was when they got out dad's guns. In Japan not every police officers carry guns. Tyson always says the mafia carries samurai swards. So when Tyson decided they should go shooting, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. They had never held a gun let alone shot one! Tyson was surprised how well Keiko was able to shoot!


On the way ,Tyson stopped at one of the houses he designed.
Fujisawa is the only member of the church. She wanted to take her sister and daughter to see Temple Square. It was amazing to hear the sister missionaries and Tyson explaining everything in Japanese.
I am so grateful for the many blessings we still receive from Tyson choosing to go on a mission. I am also grateful these sisters take the time to come see us and enrich our lives!
