It is located on the famous Shonan coastline where Tokyo surfers flock in the summer. Actually, we see more surfers on the train everyday with their boards. It is really a good location for youth ministry. Just a few train stops farther, you find Yokosuka where the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet is based. Our house is located in a traditional area called Zaimokuza near the beach.
People are very friendly.
We are very thankful to be attending language school. Kay joined a high level class, and I joined a beginner's class that started in January. Thanks to my bit of studying at the Zenrinkan, I was able to transition into this class easily. Now after twelve weeks, I have learned over 170 Japanese characters. Our teachers are very competent and kind.
