It's Sarah's last "undoukai" in youchien [kindergarten]

幼稚園最後の運動会ね

What are you going to do in the undoukai?

Race — do you think you can get first?

1位になれそう？

I think so.

うん！

Yeah. If you lose, lose, lose...

もし負けたら…

I won't cry! I won't have a bad attitude!

泣かないよ！

Mommy's getting ready! I am!

ママも準備万端だね！

So I'm back in my hometown of Peoria, Illinois.

故郷に帰ってきました イリノイ州ピオリアです

For a number of days I'm going to be getting together with lots of different people

滞在中 日本での宣教の支援者や

who support us, who are partnered with us to be able to live in Japan.

色んな人に会います

And I'm excited to get to see people and hoping everything is going well back home while I'm gone.

みんな元気だといいです

Well Dad...

父さん

It's probably been a really long time...

この道 久しぶりだね

I'm trying to think of the last time I would have driven this way.

最後に通ったのいつだろう

Do you remember ever driving this way?

この道 覚えてる？

Oh yeah. As a kid, sitting in the back.

子供の時は後ろに座ってたね

OK. My goodness.

すごい

You've got a great memory.

よく覚えてるな

There she is! Bye Sarah!

サラ 頑張って！

Whoa!

ワーオ！

Whoa! [applause]

教会の仲間と会ってきました

Just had a great meeting with the team from Christian Bible Church.

忙しいのに時間を作ってくれました

They rescheduled (their meeting) so I could meet with them.

これから帰って寝ます

And now I get to go home and go to sleep! [laughs]

父さんの運転です

Dad's driving, not me!

I worked as a music director at a church.

楽しみです！

I'm really looking forward to seeing our supporters there, our partners...

ディスクゴルフをします

and get to eat up there too, that's gonna be great!

- ディスクゴルフ最高だよね - そうだね

So we're going to go Disc Golfing here.

ボールの代わりに フリスビーを使います

Disc Golfing is the bomb, wouldn't you say? Yea.

そうだね

It's basically golf with frisbees.

- 沢山の人がこのビデオを見るよ - なんとかやるさ

That's right.

最高のショットです

Jim, no pressure, but there's a lot of people watching. Alright, no problem.

ホール イン ワン！

He, like, puts up his best drive ever.

I've got a pulled-pork sandwich and some good old chips. It's going to be good.

懐かしい友人との 再会が楽しみです

I'm here at the church where I first had my full-time job as their music director.

Say "Hello" everybody. "Hello everybody."

ハロー！

Hello!

Are you Mario?

ルイージもいるわね！

Oh look! There's a Luigi!

友達です

Those two are best friends.

They're awesome!

バーベキュー日和だね！

Oh yes! It's the perfect day for a barbecue!

そうだね

It is!

燃料をかけたから大丈夫

I put plenty of lighter fluid on it. That's right! Make sure it goes!

洗ったんだね？

Washed and ready to go, huh?

待ち遠しいよ

That sounds like everything that I'm for. (Meat and potatoes)

これだね！

Yes!

軍手がいるな

Get a glove. That is so hot!

木曜までは元気だったの

I was fine until Thursday night.

子供が一緒に寝たがるから 寝れなくて…

And then, the kids have been sleeping with me, and I don't sleep well with them.

ネイトと一緒の時もだけど… 子供の方が…

I don't sleep well with Nate either, but the kids are a little...

- 寝れないのね - 子供よりマシでよかった

Worse. Oh wow, I'm actually better than the kids. That's good to know, at least.

ポークチョップです！

I missed the pork chops coming off!

至福の匂いです！

Wow! Those smell good!

一番ジューシーだぞ

That one is probably going to be the juiciest.

そう？

Is it? Yeah.

いただきます！

Take it Well, come here Mr. Juicy.

美味しいお肉です

This is... this is good stuff right here.

ハーイ

Say hi! Hi!

今日は工作するわよ！

But! We started doing some crafts.

木を色付けして

So we're painting some wood.

凄いもの作るわよ！

And then we're going to make some really cool things.

バジルが順調に育ってます！

My basil is doing so well outside!

うれしいわ

Yea!

雨なのでケーキを焼きました

Meanwhile, since it is rainy, I baked a cake.

焼けた頃です

It should be done.

上手くできてるかしら

Oh, I wish you could smell it.

いい感じです！

Oh yea, it's done. It's glorious.

And then she'll be able to shop from there.

上手く行くといいのですが

We're going to give it a try.

アメリカのコストコです

Back in Costco in the States.

日本のコストコにそっくりです

It feels so much like the Costcos in Japan I almost feel like I'm in Japan.

母さん 何作ったの？

What are we getting ready for here, Mom?

あなたの友達が遊びに来るから

Um, we're getting ready for an open house for Nate and, well, that family isn't here,

食事を準備したの

ご馳走だね！

And lots of good food!

コストコに感謝

Um hum. Thanks to Costco.

この2週間 沢山の友人や支援者 家族に会って

and maybe even enjoy some of these beautiful leaves that are out.

近況を報告出来ました

OK, we're heading into church.

宣教師として働けることを 心から幸せに感じています

These two weeks I've been able to meet up with so many friends, family, supporters and investors here,

助けになれる人を 必要とされてる所に繋げる

and tell them about what's going on.

私はその仲介役みたいなものです 最高の仕事です

I really have one of the best jobs in the world, which is to be a missionary...

日本で待つ家族に 会えるのが楽しみです

To go and connect other people with God's love

朝5時です

And connect the need with those who can help with the need.

荷造りが終わりました

And I get to be right in the middle of all of that, and it is just really awesome, I love it.

コーヒーを飲んで

And I'm really looking forward to getting back to my family. I miss them a lot.

日本に帰ります

Well, it's about 5:00 AM on Monday morning.

ただいま！

I've got everything packed together.

みんな会いたかったよ！

And I'm going to have some coffee

I'm going to get the rest of my bags packed and heading off, back home.

Oh my goodness!

Look at this cuteness! Oh my goodness!
