Celebrating New Year's - Looking Japanese??


On New Year's Day, we all gathered at ZOE for a huge potluck. There was Japanese sushi, Hawaiian spam musubi, Italian spaghetti, American Pizza, Chinese won tons and baos and tons of Thai food. What a feast!! Then we had a fun "talent" show. There were skits, songs and dances. This year the missionaries decided to be Japanese. Even though the majority of us are third generation Japanese, we all tried to look the part. We did our best! We did an odori dance done at obon festivals called "Tankobushi", Coal Miner's Dance. What's wonderful about ZOE is you don't have to be super talented to be in a talent show. It's family and we all just enjoy being together!! Being resourceful missionaries, we all used baby powder on our faces (I think I overdid it!) and since we all didn't have scarves, one of us is using a table runner. Can you guess who??
