Volunteer Trip To Miyako and Kamaishi

These are our pictures of Miyako and Kamaishi. The destruction was truly unbelievable. I saw it and still can understand it. I’m not a good enough writer to tell you how it felt to see it all. There is one thing that I do understand though. The church in Japan is strong. I’m proud that I’m a part of that.
