Child, age 4 to Junior High — 4

At least they have a selection for 4.

And Paul and Pri

Put it like that, OK?

It didn't go, Nate. Oh!

OK, back up Joshua.

Ah, Ok. Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Alright dude. My goodness!

Well, we're in!

Whoa, look at this place, guys!

This is cool in here!

Oh now this is pretty in here, huh?

Yeah- don't touch.

No touching! Oh no!

1, 2, 3 OK, look!

Smile Becca, so pretty.

Look at that yellow one!

Hey guys!

Is that yours?

That's more like it.

Let's see Sarah, what's on your ticket? Let me see.

And you found it, huh? Right here? Yeah.

Wow, good job! I still didn't find mine.

Too close! Too close.

They're like Weeping Willows-Sarkura-Plum...

OK let's smile, right here?

Alright guys, picture time!

Ready? Yeah!

Look at these trees — aren't they interesting?

Here we go... I want to do that.

Do that to me!

I am almost sure you are too heavy.

OK, ready — 1, 2

(Screams)

And too loud! Do that to me!

Sarah Bear. Woah!

There's what every boy wants right there: a personal excavator.

Right dude? It's like your size man!

Look at my little protégé with a camera! Alright!

Anna, take a picture of that flower.

Should I show you how? Daddy, it's really blurry.

Let me see. It's really blurry.

You're not focusing. You're not supposed to turn this one, you're supposed to turn this one.

Hey!

Wait Daddy, just...

Take a picture, take a picture.

I got a picture of you!

Oh, you sure did! In action.

(Sighs) oh, I need a cup of coffee.

That does sound good, doesn't it.

Look at this.

Becca's turn with the [camera]... How do I take a picture?

OK, this you push down to focus, halfway, and you push all the way to take the picture.

And this is what zooms in or zooms out, you turn that. Alright, I already tried that.

High five.

Joshua, move! Joshua's going to photo bomb.

OK, look at Tia Rute (Aunt Ruth)

1, 2, 3, Joey!

Hey Sarah Bear, you're the same color as all the nice petals around here, huh? Oh yeah.

This is so pretty in here.

I'm getting more pictures of myself on this trip than I ever have before.

This is just an absolutely beautiful park... Beautiful!

Beautiful! Beautiful!

We've never been here before, but it's close to home and just gorgeous.

30 minutes away!

This is what you call a double selfie?

Aw, what a beautiful girlfriend.

This is so cool!

What do you say, dude? Are you riding up high?

Let's go! That's right.

What is that? What is it?!

Do you have any idea? A battery?

Oh! Computer!!

That's for daddy.

That's for making music and videos.

Look at this, daddy.

It's my things to go to school.

It's your bento box.

That's so cool. Look, let's show everyone.

Ok, you show them.

Whoa!

Watch Sarah do it. You see the handle? You need to pull it.

Then you can go like this.

We're opening the mail up, yea!

Whoa!

Oh my goodness! Can I see?

(Everybody) wow!

Ho ho ho ho! (Chimes) La!

Whoa, Dude!

You're hair is spiked!

You look like a little daddy. Yea.

Isn't that so cool?!

Jumproping is a big deal in Japan, and there was a competition at Sarah’s youchien.

Once the music started, the kids had to jumprope until they messed up, at which point they needed to sit down.

Sarah was one of four kids in her class to make it all the way to the end of the 3-minute song!

Good job, Sarah!

The parking lot there at Welpark is just packed!

All the necessities, like ramen, and oil

Whatever this is, it's all gone. It's for virus.

Wet wipes. Oh, wet wipes, yeah!

No toilet paper! That's where the toilet paper should be, huh?

Wow!

OK

So it's interesting to see what runs out when everyone runs to the store...

Toilet paper, is among the top things that run out, huh? Yeah.

We pretty much found everything but toilet paper.

Finally got the computer up and running and our very first project is... Ruth! Paz Kids!

Yes! In Japanese, no less.

A kids' song in Japanese and English! For Easter!

Here we go!

Want to go fast?

Makes me tired, just watching.

(In Japanese) We're back! Welcome back!

We're over here for a Frozen movie party.

Saturday morning movie party!

Look at your little cousin Eliana!

You know Vovó says that when her hands are like this that it's easier to fall asleep.

What do you have there, Izzy? Gummies!

Gummies? Yeah!

Hi! I'm uncle Nate!

Look at that cute face! Yea, you're a cutie-pie.

It's like when you girls were little — except you girls were so much smaller than her even.

Really? You girls were tiny. We could hold you in our hand!

We could hold you in our hand! (Sarah) What about me?!

No! You were the opposite!

You were a little cute chunk-ball of princess.

You excited for this? Oh! Never been more excited, bro.

Wow! That's a big statement.

Well it's Saturday night, we have our service tomorrow and we're getting ready to (live) stream.

We got a camera there, a camera there and a camera right there.

And here's command central. Paul the producer here going to make this thing happen.

Let's do it. PazChurch.com

Just about to start the livestream.

It's going to be great!

Yeah! Yes!

Good morning everybody! (Offstage) Life in Japan!!

Yes, well, very good.

You know, somebody commented on my shirt today. They were like "What a nice shirt!"

(Japanese translation)

I was like "Oh, thank you!"

They were like "Are you preaching today?"

Yes, this is the shirt I wear when I preach!

Because of the Corona Virus, we did our first Paz Church service livestream, and it was a big success.

I’ll put a link in the description below if you’d like to hear the message I preached about security in uncertain times

Thanks for watching Life in Japan and until next time, stay healthy and safe!
