Heidi was leading worship at church for Easter Day and also a voice training session after a pot luck lunch, which meant we had to fit Ezra's presents etc in around her commitments - he didn't seem to mind though!

We arrived at church as the worship band were praying.Ezra enjoyed worshipping with Pastor Araki
Robby and I stayed at the back during this sermon so we could help with Ezra leaving Dave and Heidi to have some space to listen (although he's found his way back into daddy's arms at this point!)
Sometimes after a service they have a pot luck lunch and as it was Easter Day we did that yesterday.
There was a wide variety of Japanese foods to try, including this amazing Sushi cake.
We finished then by singing Happy Birthday to Ezra and having cake. The church has been so supportive of Dave and Heidi, throughout the pregnancy and now he is growing to be a little boy it felt right to celebrate his birthday with them.
In the evening we had an amazing Beef Roast that Dave cooked as an Easter/birthday meal.
Prayer Requests
I still have a bit of a cold, although having a quieter day today has helped a little. Please pray it gets completely better really soon so I can enjoy the rest of our time here to the full. Also we are going out for the morning tomorrow, and the day on Wednesday, both of which are outdoor activities and at the moment it looks like it will rain for both of those - good weather would be great, especially since we have to go by public transport as well.The Mission Team are coming round tomorrow evening and we want to bless them and pray for them. Please pray God can use us to bless them in their ministry here.
Cherry Blossom Update Report
The Cherry blossom is still there, but has definitely started falling. It looks like pink snow on the ground. 
Hello beautiful people, so glad you're enjoying yourselves in all your activities. The pictures of the cherry blossom are brilliant, the blossom covering the ground is like the blessings God is showering down on you, but unlike the blossom on the ground which will be trampled and damaged, God's blessings will continue to be perfect. Lots of love from us. xxxxxx
