Today is Manami's birthday. She became five years old. Today's service was called Family Sunday Service, at which both Japanese group and English group attend, which is held once or twice a year and we have some fun after the Service. Normally, we have three Sunday services; English and Japanese services at Matlock Center, English service at Jisso Center. After the service finished, all of the attendees sang "Happy Birthday to You" to Manami, and she was supposed to blow off all the five candles in the cake we specially ordered. However, she was too shy to do that in front of people, therefore, we, parents, did that. She was given heartfelt gifts from some of the attendees. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for all the kind deeds they did for Manami. Thank you very much.
By the way, Democratic Party of Japan won a landslide victory in the general election in Japan. It is the first time for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to be away from the dominant party since its founding in 1955. I hope the next government will deal with an environment issue more sincerely and seriously and turn Japan to a right direction.
