Dear Brandon, Greetings from Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.Thank you very much for your prayer on September 14 for my diocese. It is wonderful to know that many many people in the world remember us that day. Since our church in Japan is a small church, it is always encouraging to remember that our church is not limited in the land of Japan but is streched to the whole world.Thank you again, and remember I will pray for yo.

Dear Most Revd Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu, I am writing to show a tangible sign of God's love. In today's Forward Day by Day, it asked to pray for the Diocese of Hokkaido. Almighty Father, continue to bless the diocese of Hokkaido and Most Revd Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu be with them as you were with Your people when they left Egypt. Be their column of smoke by day and column of fire by night. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Warmest,Brandon

Cursillo Weekend

Well, I just had a spa like experience for my soul. I went to Cursillo #214 Nov 2-5 Those Saved to Serve! As we said on the weekend, save your fork, because the best is yet to come. I was overwhelmed with the love that I experienced on the weekend. On our banner is a picture of a vase outpouring water upon people; that will be something I remember for all of my 4th Day. Be an active verb of faith, go and be love, Christ's love to the world. Make that love stronger through piety and study. I have since then, attended my first reunion group, The Big Boys. I was bold enough to ask Max and Kieth, "You wouldn't be the Big Boys per chance?" It was great to hear everyone's closest moment. I got to meet the whole gang, Jim, George, Buddy, Don, Randy (My Sponsor), Max (Randy's sponsor), Frankie, and the other Mr. Evans. Also in the same Diner were the Dash Girls having their reunion groups.
