When i heard we were going to this city ( i didn't know it until very recently), I was speechless because so many memories came back to me. The old good one. Yes, I had lived in this city for five years.
I feel a little bit weird ( in a good way) because i am going to this city, in which i had lived for five years, as a short term missionary with the team. God will bring me back to the city and the nation for His purpose, not for my sightseeing.
I am pretty sure when i land this city ( we will take a ferry), i would cry. It would be a good crying. How do you feel you are going to your second hometown as a missionary ( even ST missionary)? I used to see the fireworks from this blick-made building in every summer. I love driving to this city ( it took for 20 min by car from my apartment) sunday afternoon. God is wonder.. He brought me here, the states, to get to know Him and He will send me back to my memorable second hometown. Not only can i speak the standard japanese, i also can speak "their dilect". I love this city because people are so passionate and nice. I remember so many people's faces. My friend's dad was working at the station ( in above pic).
I will invite my friends to the church we visit. I will introduce my team and Jesus Christ to them

Hiro, it was truly wonderful to see you and get to speak with you before the Oaxaca send-off! It is such a beautiful thing to me that God is bringing you back to your hometown. HE brings richness to the team and to this journey and back to your former home through your presence, your gifts, your experiences, characteristics - every bit that makes you who you are. May you be encouraged by Him. I have much hope for how the LORD will reconnect you with this land and the people in it. I praise Him for the boldness and simplicity through which you wrote, "I will introduce my team and Jesus Christ to them." HE IS GOOD!! :0)
