good morning. i’ve been here for 3 days and guess what? i didn’t take
a shower and am still wearing the same clothes. but so what? i’m
feeling pretty good. my body might not be clean, but my mind is. it’s
been my 3rd time up here and seeing everybody getting happier and
happier is so rewarding. we have a solid route going back to places
that need the most help. and in the meantime, we’re finding other
places in need. we’re focused on the oshika peninsula where the nearest
place to buy food is over an hour away. there are so many people living
here that are so thankful. our team worked hard the first day and today
is another. i took this photo yesterday as we drove back to kobuchihama
to drop off supplies, and to show the fisherman the KITV news clip.
they were so happy when matsu played the clip on his iphone.
since there is no place to stay, or eat, or to shower around here, we
drove up to the top of the mountain, set up our tent, and seen one of
the most beautiful view i’ve ever seen in japan. as the sun set into
the horizon, the full moon rose. then this morning as the full moon was
going down, the sun rose and gave us the most beautiful sunrise you will
ever see. it’s magic up here and even though things are far from over,
thing seem to be moving in a positive direction.
our plan is to stay in ishinomaki today, then go back to the “evacuation
zone,” minami soma. we’re going to meet the mayor again!
well, gotta get back on the road. hope your having a nice day!
