Yoron Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that Brenna arrived home safely last night. She had a WONDERFUL trip, didn't miss us one bit, and wished it would have been longer!! We are so happy for her. Her Minshiku group was very tight knit and she had an AWESOME leader who rallied everyone together. Evidently, there were floods of tears during the good bye. Brenna became close to two Japanese girls, who will try to become penpals. The communication was mostly done through body language and typical girl giggles, but amazingly enough, Brenna said they became fast friends. She also met several new girls from different schools, and we will try to get them together whenever we can. Brenna kept a journal, so I am hoping she will write up a story about her trip, when things calm down. She did admit that she didn't try one bite of fish (it was served at every meal along with some sea weed), but she found other things to sustain her throughout the trip. She is also glad to have our Westernized toilets back - she had to use the squatty potty the whole time on the island! It was hard getting her up and rolling for school this morning, but she only has two days until spring break!!
