here i am sitting in the one of two cars driving up to sendai. it’s
\ndark, raining, and we’re trying to find out the best schedule for this
\nmission. it will start with an event in sendai tomorrow 12-7pm. we
\nhave a booth with lots of presents brought all the way from hawaii. we
\nare also planning to make malasadas. yeah, malasadas. better than
\nleonard’s bakery. on this mission, we have 9 members. some repeaters,
\nsome new. as i write this blog, i’m thinking on how appreciative i am
\nto have these wonderful people on the side of me. all taking time off
\nfrom their jobs or families to make this mission happen. each one using
\ntheir own money for food and accommodations. these missions wouldn’t be
\nable to happen without them.
\nwe’re passing through fukushima now and guess what? we forgot our
\ngrieger counters. the radiation will be a mystery for us on this trip
\nbut we all know it’s out there. somebody made a joke to me that i’ll
\nlive for only 10 years more. i laughed and thought to myself, “it’s
\nok.” it’s my 4th time up here and i would sacrifice many years of my
\nlife for what i’ve experienced and the wonderful people i met. it’s
\nreally hard to explain the way i feel. thinking about it in hawaii, and
\nthinking about it when i’m actually here is totally different. you see
\neverybody living a normal life and it’s easy to blend in and get
\ncomfortable.
\nanyway, after the event tomorrow, half our team will be heading up to
\nishinomaki to visit schools, meet old friends, and meet new ones. i’m
\nso excited! our van is loaded with lots of goodies and lots of love.
\nonce again, thank you to everybody that opened their heart to these
\nmissions. WE ARE ONE and will always be.
\nit’s time to shut down my computer because i feel like throwing up. the
\nhighway is still bumpy but much better than the last time. i hope
\neverything else is better too. stay tuned for some happy photos. we
\nare going to make as many kids happy as can be. SMILE!<\/p>\n
