October Sycamore Tree

シカモア教会のみんな様、

お蔭様で無事仙台に帰れました。
シカモアバザーに招待して頂き、本当にありがとうございました。
シカモア教会の皆さんは、本当にバザーを楽しみにしているのだなと感じました。私たちにはたくさんの仕事がありましたが、その分だけ、バザーに深く関わることが出来たと思います。お力になれたでしょうか？
滞在中は皆さまのお蔭で、とても快適に過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございます。
この有意義な経験を生かし、残りの学生生活も頑張りたいと思います。
いつかまたバザーに参加したいです。

Dear Sycamore Family,

First, we want to express our sincerest gratitude for allowing us to participate in this year's bazaar with all of you. But we would also like to thank you for sharing your homes and lives with us as well. A lot of people go sightseeing in San Francisco but very few people get the opportunity to work as a part of a community to create something so special as the Sycamore Bazaar. We also got the chance to play with the children of the Sycamore Pre-School, go bowling with the Friday Bowlers, and form new friendships with the members of Sycamore. The experience taught us all a lot about ourselves but also changed the way we think about what America and Americans look like.

We hope that we are able to help at the bazaar again someday. And, if anyone ever wants to visit Sendai we hope we can show you the hospitality that we have been shown during our time in California. Thank you so much!

M, H, K and S
