I had to go to the baseball field to meet the athletic director, who was giving me a letter for a scholarship application for Troy. One of the cool things about baseball here, is that it is very popular (an understatement) with the Japanese, so the team gets plenty of opportunities to play local schools (unlike football, where there was only one local college team they could play and other than the rival military high school on island, they had to travel off-island to play other military high schools in the region). Anyhoo, I just had to share this with you.

I LOVE these little contrasts!

I hope you don't think I am nuts but I found you through my profile page when I clicked on LDS Church. I live in Vallejo, Ca and I LDS. My husband was just release as the Bishop. Anyway, as a young girl I lived in Okinawa. It was in 66 and 67. I was baptize there. How do you like it? Anyway, I am excited to hear from you.
Karen, that is SO cool! Were you baptized in the ocean? That's the tradition here now, unless the weather is too bad. I don't think you are nuts at all, BTW. I love finding blogs from random places. So what brought you to Okinawa? Was your dad in the military, a contractor, a teacher? I'll have to go and check out your blog, too. Thanks for stopping by!
I was bapitzed in the chaple in Naha. I didn't get the ocean. That would be cool. My father was in the Air Force. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to "see" you around.
