Youth Ministry  ユースミニストリー

Youth ministry has been a big part of our life for a long time. I have been a youth leader since I was 20 years old and everywhere I go, I love to be a part of a youth group. (well, at least for a while.) Because John and I were working as youth leaders, we fell in love and got married. (knowing that he was attracted to me when I did not have much make-ups, no cute clothes (just T-shirts and shorts, flip flops.) during a week long summer camp, I knew he loved me inside out.)

Anyways, this past weekend, we had a youth leaders' gathering at our house. We are always busy doing other stuff, so we just wanted to make this afternoon, just to get to know each other. There were 15 adults and 2 little ones and our house was packed. We had so much fun though...
John did amazing job on grilling perfect steak and chicken. I made some side dishes, but forgot to take most of the pictures...haha. Oh well.

I thank God for allowing me to be a part of His plan, and allowing us to serve at this youth group.


He ate a lot and went right into our comfy couch...:)

Our favorite....summer rolls.

Mom: yeah, it was so much fun. John used to BBQ when he was single and I used to invite people over for my Japanese food, now it is combined and we love it!
