The story was making pumpkins. First people cultivate field and they seed and they spray water and they pull out the weeds and pumpkins grow up. They picked pumpkins in fall season. Inside the pumpkins is wet, orange goop, and scoop it. They make pumpkin pies and cookies. Also they make faces that grin ear to ear. Then they prepare for growing pumpkin next year.

What I realized
13107138 Miho Chiwata
Hello, everyone. Today I will talk about Christianity. I want to talk about Christianity, because I participated in a home stay program this past summer, and my host family believed in Christianity. My host family went to the church every Sunday. They would sing, listen to the priest, and when the service finished they would talk with family and friends. I could not understand what the priest said, but I liked singing hymns with everyone who was in the church. Sometimes when I sang the hymns, something stirred within my heart, and I would feel tears running down my face. Also I liked eating doughnuts after the service. I am also interested in Christianity, because I found out my mother is a Christian. When I saw her reading the Bible, and talking about Christianity to me I became more interested and I could feel that my heart was becoming pure.
What do you think about Christianity? Surely you will come up with the idea of worshipping God, promises of salvation and Jesus Christ. Of course you would also think about Christmas, don’t you? Christmas is getting closer, now houses and towns have many beautiful trees which are decorated with red, yellow and blue lights that shine brightly. When I hear Christmas songs, my heart is filled with excitement. Christians believes in Jesus as the preserver, and they preach God’s love and forgiveness focused on Jesus’ action and doctrine. Also, it urges people and society to follow the teachings of the Old and New Testaments.
Do you believe in the existence of God? In fact I had never been able to believe in God. I wondered if God really exists. For example, when I could not succeed in getting what I want, and when I cold not do well, I thought selfishly that God did not exist. I also could not believe in God, because I had never seen Him. However, I started to believe in God because of an accident. My brother got injured and he needed to have an operation. I feared that my brother would die, so I prayed for God to help him. Fortunately, my brother survived, I was really glad and I am thankful to God for saving my brother’s life.
Through this accident I remembered that my high school teacher taught me, “If people accept God into their hearts, they will become stronger.” I could feel that through my brother’s accident. If people are in a crisis they rely on a greater existence that they can not see. This is God and Buddha and so on.
We can hate people easily, but it is better to live peacefully together in the way religion teaches. My host father gave me some books, one of which “Shiokaritoge”, impressed me.
The book was written about Christianity it said that “You become neighbors.” I was really surprised by these words. This is difficult, because to be a neighbor you must forgive even if someone has hurt you. The book’s main character stuck with his neighbor without staying mad. I was really touched by this character.
I appreciate my host family because they accepted me and gave me such great books, and I am grateful to my family and my friends who supported me. I can not thank them enough.
Also I want to say to you
May God bless you!!

BR 2-16: The Giant Jelly Bean Jar
Ben loved jelly beans and he loved going to Jo-Jo’s Jelly Beans Shop. Every weekend Jo-Jo had a contest. Jo-Jo read a riddle and said,”Guess which jelly bean flavor is the answer to my riddle.” The person with the right answer won a jar full of jelly beans. Ben wanted to won the riddle contest but he could not because he was shy and kids who around him were taller than Ben and when they raise hands it were higher than Ben, so he always missed the contest prince.
One Saturday, it was Jo-Jo shop’s party because Jo-Jo’s jelly beans had been open for one year. The store was more crowded than ever. Jo-Jo had a very big jar of jelly beans over his head. Everyone cheered. Jo-Jo said “I’m yummy with jelly and can be spooned from a jar. Between slice of bread I am a true sandwich star!” Ben knew the answer right away. This time he lifted his hand high. Jo-Jo looked out at the big crowd and he pointed to Ben. Ben was so surprised, he forgot the answer to the riddle. Everyone waited for Ben to speak, but he did not say anything. His sister, Jill came to Ben and she stepped right on Ben’s toes. Then Ben cried out and he remembered the answer. He shouted, ”Peanut butter!!” The answer was right and Jo-Jo placed a sparkling crown on Ben’s head. He handed Ben the great big jelly bean prize jar. He was really happy. On the way home, he said thank you to his sister for stepping his toes.

Secret of Kumamoto Precious place
I will introduce a secret of Kumamoto. It is my house’s porch. Why it is secret that there is in my house, so many people do not know that. My house is standing on the hill so we can see nice view from there. There are not so many houses around my house. Instead of that there are many fields and country roads. I enjoy looking that driving cars, flying birds, many mountains. When winter we can see that they are covered with snow. The view is so nice.
When night it is good way for me to watch stars lying on the floor. We can see many stars clearly and they are shining brightly. It looks like jewel. I like that.
The porch has table and chairs to eat barbecue. We enjoy eating barbecue and chatting with my friends and my family. It makes me relax, happy and refreshing.

Do not learn anything!” her mother said. When she got to school she saw her friends and the teacher. The teacher was shocked to see Little Witch because she was not her student, but she was very polite for Little Witch. The teacher could not believe that Little Witch was a real Witch, so Little Witch tried to know her she was a real Witch, she said a magic spell, and then she flew with her broom. Little Witch turned the wormy apple to banana. Little Witch’s crayons were not right colors, for example blue one drew in green, so she changed with Willie. She enjoyed with her friends in school.

BR 2-14: THE UGRY DUCKLING
Once upon a time, nine ducklings hatched. Eight were pretty and fluffy and yellow, but the ninth duckling did not look like the others. “Ugly duckling! Ugly duckling!” said the eight other ducklings. “Ugly ducklings go away!” Once the mother duck took her ducklings to visit another duck family on the other side of the lake. They teased the ugly duckling. “You can not be a duck!” the ugly duckling cried and he ran away. The ugly duckling hid in some grass. Soon it got dark. The ugly duckling was scared and lonely. He went to sleep. The next morning, the ugly duckling went to look for food. “What kind of bird are you?” asked some wild ducks. The ugly duckling said “I am a duck.” However the wild duck teased him. The ugly duckling ran away from the wild ducks. He ran and ran until he came to another lake, and he stayed there. The ugly duckling stayed all winter. It was cold, and windy, too. One day, the ugly duckling saw some swans flying south. They called “Come with us.” He tried to fly, but he could not and the swans could not wait. The ugly duckling stayed by the lake. He grew and grew and he became a swan but he did not notice. In the spring, the ugly duckling flapped his wings. They were big and strong. “I can fly, I can fly!” he said. He flew to a riverbank. “Come and stay with us,” said the swans. The ugly duckling said “You do not want me. I am just an ugly duckling.” “A duckling?” they said. “No, you are a swan. A beautiful swan, just like us!”

1. Introduction
There are many kinds of fashion in Japan. They are trendy and fashionable and individual. Many Japanese people, especially girls, like to read fashion magazines and go shopping.
In America, there are many kinds of fashions, too. Are American girls interested in fashion? I researched about it.
To answer, I went to several different shopping areas in Minnesota and read American fashion magazines. Also I asked Bethel students or my host family some questions, and used graphs to indicate the results which will be discussed in section 2 and in section 3.
2. In Kumamoto
Kumamoto has some local magazines; for example, “No” and “Tankuma” and so on. There are many things written in magazines about Kumamoto. In Japan, slim, beautiful girls appear in fashion magazines. They are leading Japanese girls to fashion. It seems that this is one strategy used to sell expensive clothing, and one reason why Japanese girls are absorbed in fashion. It is good for girls to read fashion magazines, because they can be fashionable and they can show their own individuality. Also they can become more beautiful, because the fashion magazines sometimes insert articles about good ways to diet or how to make up and so on.
Also many fashion stores are introduced in these magazines. When college students go to school, they dress up, and wear make up. Most Japanese girls like to go shopping and they are interested in fashion. They are especially interested in fashion outside of Japan. They observe Paris and Reahna and so on in magazines.
Table 1 below shows the results of a questionnaire given to KGU students in Kumamoto. According to the results, in Japan they read fashion magazines, and it seems that they don’t want to be considered unfashionable. Also the research said that most Japanese people are interested in fashion very much. It is an important point to know the way they think about Japanese fashion. Looking at question 6, it says that most Japanese people think fashion is fun and shows individuality. Both of them are positive attributes of fashion. On the other hand only 3 people thought that fashion was a bother or expensive. As a result, we can see through these answers that Japanese people (32 out of 35) are generally addicted to fashion.

3. In the US[1]
According to 6 Bethel college student girls, when they go to college they wear clothing that is easy moving, but when they go out to dinner, shopping or the theater, they dress up and put on make up. Recently skinny jeans and baggy pants and high-waist jeans are popular among young people in America, and when they feel cold, they sometimes put on scarves.
I wanted to find local fashion magazines in Minnesota, but there were no local magazines about fashion. It seems that Minnesotans are not so much interested in fashion.
As above, Table 2 shows answers by Minnesotans about fashion. The research said that they are not so interested in fashion, because 8 people answered that fashion is a little interesting and 5 said not at all. Even so for question 2, they indicated they are not so interested in fashion, but they are conscious about what they wear. They like jeans, maybe because they are easy moving, and they are comfortable. One person answered that he (she) wore light clothes so that he (she) would not get too hot. Surprisingly, they seldom read fashion magazines. They seem not to spend much money to buy clothing. Also, 8 out of 25 people think that fashion is expensive. One person said that fashion is something pushed on people so they will spend money, which is a unique and thought provoking opinion.
People in Minnesota seemed not to buy expensive clothing, but they spent money on other things, for example going driving, going out to dinner, traveling, buying a jet-ski and fishing gears; in other words, on their own hobbies. Minnesotans like to go outside, because they seem to enjoy hiking, and sports. Therefore they wear clothing that is easy to move or walk in.

7. Conclusion
From the above, we see that Japanese people are interested in fashion. There are many kinds of fashion magazines in Japan, and they read them. It seems that they are influenced by fashion magazines, and they may be happy to dress up and make up. Fashion has continued from a long time in Japan, with changing popularity. It seems to be Japanese culture, because Japanese people like fashion without generation differences.
On the other hand, American people are not so interested in fashion. They buy cheaper clothes, but they are original and cute. They make a point of wearing clothes that are easy to move in. Also when they go to college or just go to the grocery store to buy something, they do not make up or dress up, but when they go to dinner, birthday parties or hung out with friends, they make up and dress up. It is American culture.
American people are natural, active and healthy. Japanese people are fashionable and conscious about health. Both of them have good points.

7. Conclusion
From the above, we see that Japanese people are interested in fashion. There are many kinds of fashion magazines in Japan, and they read them. It seems that they are influenced by fashion magazines, and they may be happy to dress up and make up. Fashion has continued from a long time in Japan, with changing popularity. It seems to be Japanese culture, because Japanese people like fashion without generation differences.
On the other hand, American people are not so interested in fashion. They buy cheaper clothes, but they are original and cute. They make a point of wearing clothes that are easy to move in. Also when they go to college or just go to the grocery store to buy something, they do not make up or dress up, but when they go to dinner, birthday parties or hung out with friends, they make up and dress up. It is American culture.
American people are natural, active and healthy. Japanese people are fashionable and conscious about health. Both of them have good points.

[1] I had not known so much about American fashion until I went to Minnesota. When I went to Minnesota, and I saw American college students in Minnesota generally wear T-shirts, jeans and sandals. I was surprised at that thing, because in Japan we dress up and wear make up.

my school held a school festival in Oct. 31, Nov. 1,2. Our club sold fried bread ice cream. isn't a strange name?:> this is an our club’s traditional food and we sell it every year. I will teach u how to make it. First, you ready bread (the bread is thin and it will be usually baked by (an electric) toaster) and ice cream (about 2 or 3 spoonfuls). you cut off the crust and you push all inside of the bread and spread a little water around the bread because it is helpful to put together each corners of the bread, and put the ice cream on the center of bread, and you cover the ice cream with bread like triangle. Finally you fried it about 30 seconds or less (till become brown) and shift sugar on it. The points are keeping not melting the ice cream till fry, you should make it as soon as possible you can. I wanna make it for you, but I cant;<> that’s so nice. Our school’s exchange students ate it, and they said to me this is so nice!!:-] I recommend it. Also we made exhibition of Japanese era. We made each Japanese era’s symbols and we made room each era’s symbols. Making was so tired, but finally we made it we were so excite and impression. Also we could get the superior prize of the exhibition. Before school festival, we walked in down town with funny costume and portable shrine.

Mrs. Doubtfire bonds and family
I watched “Mrs. Doubtfire”. The movie is so funny. First I will introduce the story. One day, father wants to cerebrate to son’s birthday, so he held party. He invited moving zoo, and he invited many children his house. His wife were working, but she got a call, so she went back home. When she went back home police were there. He said that it is noisy also it is ban to enter animals in house. His wife apologized to the police, and she was angry at her husband.
She decided divorce, but father did not want to divorce, because he loves her and his children. As the justice, mother could get a parental authority. Father was allowed to see his children one a week. He was so sad, because he never part from his children.
One day he found that mother is finding home helper to clean, cook, wash, and take care of children. He decided to disguise old woman to become home helper. He made himself Mrs. Doubtfire. Mother took an interview with Mrs. Doubtfire, and she decided that ask her to take care of. Mrs. Doubtfire was good home helper. She read books to younger sister, also she scold them when they did bad things. Also she let them to study home work. They are getting like her also their mother, too, but they didn’t know that she is their father.
One day they invited dinner to cerebrate mother’s birthday. Of course, Mrs. Doubtfire invited, too, but she had another schedule. As the result, she was found out by his family. Finally, father could not get a parental authority, besides when he sees his children with oversees, but mother withdrew oversees. So he can see his children without oversees, also he can see children evening weekdays.
I think this movie want to say about family, divorce, bonds, works and so on. Mother decided to divorce with father, it is problem not only mother and father but also their children. Mother likes father’s good strength for example funny and positive, kind, but he does not have work. Her work is becoming hard, so she irritates father’s behavior. After divorce she found home helper, but in fact she was her old husband. But she didn’t notice that fact. When the house helper was coming to the house they have laughed many times. They were happy, but they found out she was their father, mother angry so father could not see children weekdays.
Since father have not come the house, they have not laugh. Then mother noticed father was important for children. I think divorce is very hard problem, because it is problem not only father and mother but also children. Children are sad if parents decide to divorce, but there are many patterns bonds. If parents divorce, it can not cut families bonds. If parents are thinking their children, they have to do something for children, like this movie.
Also, divorce is not bad, because it is getting bad if parents do not divorce. I think divorce is not matter. It is important how to improve bad bonds. This movie tell us importance of bonds and the way of family.

My favorite place
My favorite place is KGU, because there are many useful places for me for example, library, gym, and cafeteria and so on.
I often go to the library. There are many kinds of books. If we want to find books, we can find it in this library. Also I like listening music. The library has listening and watching movie places. Recently, I like listening red hot chili peppers’ song. The group is so cool. I like their songs a lot. Their songs make me so fun and feel good, sometimes feel sentiment. My favorite songs of theirs are “Can’t stop”, “I could die for you” and so on. I recommend them.
I sometimes go to the gym. There are many machines to train our body. I like to use bicycle machine, because it is makes me so bake and I can take much sweat. Also I use running machine. It is so good for me. Running is the good way for me to move my body. After running, I can get refresh, good health and shaped body. If you go there maybe I will be there. You don’t know how to use them, please call me. Maybe I can teach to you. Let’s enjoy shape up.
I like to go to a school cafeteria, a student union and a bakery. School cafeteria has many kinds
of food, curry rice, udon, katsu set lunch and so on. I like to eat a bowl of curry rice. Its taste is so nice. I like go to the student union, too, because if I go there I can see my friends. I like to talk with my friends. It gives me happy. I am belonging to Youth hostel. It is one of circles in KGU. Every year we have school festival, so we have to prepare for it. One interesting thing is that we have funny parade. Why we have funny parade is that we advertise our school festival. This year our circle members costumed like gorilla. The costumes were made by us. Also each circle made different portable shrine. It is tradition in KGU.
I was ashamed to go walk in down town first time, but I was get accustomed to walking with funny costume. It became good memory for me.
KGU has a lot of events. I am majored in English. English course has some events more than other courses. Recently, we had English Weekend. I was staff. It was so tired for me, because we staff had to take care of students, but I enjoyed playing some games. It was so fun. Last day we went to picking oranges and pears. Their taste was so nice. I ate a half of pear and seven oranges. I like to eat fruits very much. I had a great time in this time.
I am enjoying my KGU life. I like it very much.

animals
I am interested in this site, because I like animals except snakes, and frogs and something. This site has many animals’ pictures, for example polar bears, many kind of penguins, foxes, tigers, sharks, seals and many kind of birds, and you can see many animals around the world in this site.
This site has world on the Movie. This site says that there are the latest reports from our worldwide legion of correspondents, scientists and amateur naturalists. Do you know Simon King on the Masai Mara? If you want to know the world on the movie gives us some information of it, also you can get some pictures about it. Not only Simon King but also other animals you can know through on this site. It is good point that you can watch some movies about animals.
This site has eight parts of animal, Planet Earth, Birds, Mammals, UK wildlife, sea life, wild facts, conservation, and pets. I recommend pets' part. Would you like to find out all your pet's ancestry? There are 13 species pets, and I found that each parts has each pets' history, life span, distribution and habitat in the wild and behavior in the wild. It is helpful to understand, if you want to have pets.
There are many things of animals. Please let me give you information of some animals. Mammal is different shape, for example, a dolphin looks very different from an elephant, and some mammal can swim or fly. The beginning of every mammal is special. Because mammals feed their young on milk until they are nearly adult-sized, their young don’t have to be able to move around and feed themselves. This mean that they have quite a long time in which they can grow up and develop specialised adult features. All these specialized ways of living are only possible because the young don’t have to be able to fend for themselves straight away. If you go to the UK wild life, and you go to nature near you, there is British map and separate from England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Channel Island. And if you point at the tag, you will be able to see something. It is very good to know about British.
I think this site is very good and if you see animals’ pictures your feeling is better than before.

Dear Miho,
We just got the information about your car pool rides to the college during your stay in Minnesota.
I realized after I sent the Email that I forgot to tell you that I am an Registered Nurse and I work in the recovery room taking
Care of kids after they have surgery. I love my job, because I love kids so much.
We had a very hard winter with both Craig and I having our mothers die in February three days apart. We both miss our mother’s but know that
They where Christians and we will see them some day in heaven.
I am glad you where able to see the house on the internet, that is a really weird thought that someone across the world can look at our home in the internet.
As far as washing clothing you can wash clothing whenever you are in need of washing the clothing you have. I will help you, and teach you about our home and
How things work here.
I have two big perennial flower gardens, the flowers that I have in my garden come back every year. I have not had as much luck with roses because our climate is so cold.
Rachel got her drivers license in June and I will need to have her help with driving you to your van pool. Would you like to learn to ride bike? We will teach you because we
Have several bikes and you can ride one of the bikes.
Rachel wants you to go to Sunday school class with her so you and Rachel will have to decide where you will go! Our son Paul teaches Rachels class.

Rachel wants you to go to Sunday school class with her so you and Rachel will have to decide where you will go! Our son Paul teaches Rachels class.
We really look forward to meeting you, it won’t be long now.

Dear Reve Levang
Hello,
Nice to meet you. I am Miho. I am waiting for staying your country. I want to meet you, and I want to know your culture and talk to you. I f you want to know about Japanese culture, I would like to tell you.
I like to walk, so I prepare for walking shoes. When do you often go walking? Morning or Evening? It is good to walk for health. When I was a high school student, I often run for 30 minutes, but I don't run now.
I heard that there is sometimes cool days even in summer. There has minus 40℃ in winter. That's very cold. There isn't so cold in winter in Kumamoto. But I will go there in summer, I don't worry it. I bring a light jacket or sweater. Of course, I bring a swimming suit, I would like to go boating and swimming in a lake.
Oh, that's sounds great. I want to meet her from Ghana, and I want to know about her country, too. I 'd love to be a friend.
Thanks awfully for preparing. How often wash clothing in a week?
That's too bad... Her soul rest in peace. If this phrase is wrong I'm very sorry.
I looked your house through the satelite. Your house is very big. I want to go shopping area, because I have taught my friend who have been Montana, there are many kinds of goods, and really interesting.
Thank you for your introduction. My mother is about same age. How do you work in the children's hospital?
If I want to go a Sunday school class, I could go there? I like children, too.
It will be beautiful, your garden. What kinds of flower do you raise or like? I think so your thought is right. But I like American food. Do you know roll eggs or misosoup? I've heard that American people don't like misosoup. I like fruit. I couldn't ride a bike. I am envy that. Where do you often go bike ride? My mother sometimes reading her bible. I have watched a movie about Jesus Christ, but I don't know it for more information.
I'd like to go church. How is it? Hymns maybe I have heard, because my mother listen it in Japanese in her car. Does Rachel have her driver license? I haven't my driver licence yet.
I cant stand to meet you. I will spend good time during home stay. Also I hope you have good time to spend with me.
Sincerely Miho

Dear Miho,
Hello,
I am Reve', the host mother whom you will be staying with in July. We look forward to meeting you and showing you our culture and helping you experience Minnesota during your stay.
If you email back to me please email revesmail@daytonmn.net not this email as it is at my place of employment and I don't use it often.
When you come please bring some shoes for walking as we like to go walking almost every day. The weather will be warm but we can get an occasional cool day, so I would advise bringing a light jacket or sweater. Also bring a swimming suit if we go boating and swimming in a lake. We will also be hosting an exchange student from Ghana West Africa and she will come sometime in August so there may be some overlap while you are here with us. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom, we will teach you how to use the washing machine to launder your clothing. Our house is big and now very empty because our two sons moved out and Craigs mother who lived with us for 10 years passed away in February.
Craig told me that he gave you our address so you can look up our house on the satalite. We have a large property in the country but are close to shopping areas. We have bike trails and walking trails across the road from our home.
I will tell you alittle about myself, I am 49 years old and work as a nurse at the children's hospital in Minneapolis.
I love to be around children, so I teach a Sunday school class on Sunday before our church service. I am transitioning in life to having adult children that are no longer in the home, and we have only Rachel at home now. I like to garden and have some nice flower gardens in our yard, I am also a good cook but probably cook very different than what you are accustom. We would like to try some of your food and we will introduce you to some of our foods. We do not eat alot of rice but in the summer eat a lot of fresh fruit, salads and grill meat on our Barbique grill. (like chicken, beef ect) I like to bike ride and walkl for exercise, I also like to read and spend time every day reading my Bible. We are a Christian family, and We do attend church weekly as a family and would like very much if you would attend church with us on Sunday. I like Hymns for music, a Hymn is a song that was written to sing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We will have you take a van that the college that you will attend to the classes that you will attend. Rachel just got her drivers liscense so she may be giving you some rides to the location that you will be picked up to go to Bethel.
We look forward to meeting you and hope that we can plan a fun time for you when you stay with us.

That's great. I'm looking forward to fishing and water skiing, but I might couldn't do well.
They look really happy. I am happy to see the picture. VIcky is pretty. Is Vicky 4 kilogram? is it heavy? Abbey is cute. Are Abbey and paige female or male?
Perhaps, I've ever heard hymns, because my mother sometimes listen in her car. I've not seen the movie, but I've seen about Jesus Christ. I forget this title.
I'm interested in "Amazing Grace". I will try to watch today, because my mother will borrow at rental shop. Do you want to try Japanese food anything? There are many kinds of food in Japan. Maybe I will bring peculiar food. Let's try it, if you want.
Have you eaten Sashimi, haven't you? I like Sashimi, too.
I like American food very much. MacDonald's and Kentucky fried chicken, but I don't know local meals in America.

Miho,
Yes, we have a boat. We will plan on you going fishing and water skiing with us.
I will send a picture of Paul and Amy at their wedding.
Vicky is about 4 kilograms. I will send a picture of her too. Paige is the yellow dog and the one in the front of the picture.
I am sorry, but I spelled hymns wrong. Hymns are songs that are praise to God. Did you ever see the movie "Amazing Grace"? The movie is about stopping the slave trade in England in the 1700s. It is a very good movie. John Newton was a slave trader who realized what he was doing was evil. He wrote the hymn Amazing Grace after he repented. Do most movies get translated to Japanese? If you can rent it on DVD I would recommend it.
We like many different kinds of food. We like spicy and sweet food and I will try almost anything. Reve and I have had Sashimi ( 刺身) and I liked it. I don't think Rachel would eat it though! But I am sure she would like most other Japanese food. Do you like American food?
Have a good day,

Dear Craig Levang,
Thank you for replying. Do you have a boat, don't you? I would like to boat ride, and I want to fish, and water skiing. I have never been water skiing and fishing. I would like to try them. I'm waiting for doing.
CONGRATULATION to Paul for married.
I took two pictures yesterday. There are two dogs in one of the pictures. Which is Paige or Abbey? I think both Paige and Abbey are cute, and big. I want to see cat, Vicky. How big is Vicky?
I know that Minnesota has many lakes, but I didn't know boating is popular in there.
I don't know hyms. What's hyms? Also I don't know southern rock, but I will like these music, because I like many kinds of music. My younger brother play the piano. He is music college student. He play the piano better than me.
If they take me swing dancing, I would like to go with them. I like dance, but I can't dance well. I want to know swing dancing.
What kinds of foods do you like? spicy? Or sweet? I am going to practice Japanese foods and I want to cook them for you. I can do the best :)
Sincerely,
Miho

Dear Miho,
Thank you for writing to us. We are exited to meet you.
We have three children. Chris is 24 and just bought his own house and
lives near us. Paul is 21 and got married to Amy on June 20. Rachel is
16 and still lives with us. We also have two dogs, Paige and Abbey,
and Rachel has a cat named Vicky.
We like sports but are not very good at any. We do like to bike ride
and take walks with the dogs. We have a boat and if you like we can go
for a boat ride, fishing or even water skiing. There are many lakes in
Minnesota, so boating is popular here.
Our family likes many different kinds of music, Reve likes hyms, I
like southern rock and Paul likes classical, jazz and swing music.
Paul and Amy like to go swing dancing. I am sure they would take you
with sometime if you would like.
We like Japanese food, but we do not know the names of the foods very
well. We are hoping you can help us with that!
We live in a smaller city called Dayton, about 40 kilometers from
downtown Minneapolis. I will give you our address so you can put it in
google maps and see were our house is. If you use the satellite view
you can even see our house.
I will send some pictures in another email. Do you have fast Internet?
If you would like to email Rachel, her address is rachel@levang.net
