Our friend Reiko Brink, gave us a book of Colorful Bible
Stories for Kids. It talks about how
Jesus came and helped people along the way. Many of them were suffering from
physical ailments, or exclusion from the party. He heard people cry out for
help “Jesus! Help Me.”
After a couple rough days of travel, jet-lag, new food, last
packing stress, good-byes etc etc. Emi’s body finally caught up to just how
much we’ve been through recently. Her
morning sickness didn’t allow her to keep much of anything down yesterday, and
she was like Kermit D. Frog: “It’s not easy being green.”
When she is weak in moments like these, Emi will ask me to
pray for her. She’s even too weak to try that sometimes. Geneva has taken to extending a hand towards
Emi and pray with us for “Mama and the little ‘Omi’ (short for the Japanese
word omiyage or gift)”. Geneva is pretty sweet, and then she’ll go and coax
Emi’s back, and say “Mama you want massagi?”
Anyone with a cure for morning sickness please feel free to
email at milbino2jpn@gmail.com
In the words of the good (and colorful book) ‘Jesus! Help
Me!”
Update: Emi decided to go to her auntie's house in Yokohama for the weekend to get some good homecooked meals. Geneva is charming everyone in the house, and seems to be learning proper Japanese from Auntie Chieko (Emi's mom's sister)
