We had a wonderful time with the volunteers from First Baptist Church of Brownsville, Texas. Their church has helped with disaster relief efforts in many countries. Before they came, the only thing we knew was that there would be a team coming from Texas. We were excited to meet them but what amazed us was that a couple that came was the parents of Yu’s friend, Justin Smith, from DBU. They were also the uncle and aunt of Yu’s good friend, Christy Gandy. Yu had such a great time getting to know them! All the volunteers were wonderful and we thank God for sending them to Japan!
