Sunday morning Yoko decided that she would only speak Japanese with Erik. This sudden inspiration came about after she had gotten together with a Japanese friend of hers who helped her American husband learn Japanese by not speaking English with him. This is good for Erik, however, it came as a great shock to his system. It was so sudden and without warning. As a result he came down with a headache (don't you feel sorry for him, or maybe you should feel sorry for Yoko having to put up with Erik). A half an hour before going to bed and a half an hour in the morning is reserved for English; this is to make sure we know what the other really needs to communicate.
At church on Sunday we were blessed to have Linda McCrary visiting. She is a singer from California who has a wonderful voice and a tremendous story. Recently we have had several guests musicians visit and touch our hearts with their music. Kirk Whalum, who plays the sax, and Airick Arqese, a rapper in the group Chrstiside Souljahs were here a few weeks ago. The church/cafe has been celebrating its 4 year anniversary at the current location with guest musicians.
The church/cafe is hosting a couples' Christmas dinner on the 23rd. We will be attending it with some friends from church. Christmas here is a time for couples. The couple aspect is so strong that single people often say that they will be doing something with a "date" when they are not.
