This last Saturday the young women in our branch, Max and I joined the American Redcross in 'Make a Difference Day'. The Main Gate of the Yokosuka Base has several walkways, elevators, and stairways that link the intersection. For some reason, it has been left unclear who is responsible for keeping it clean.........so it has gotten pretty darn nasty. We spent are Saturday scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing and we had a lot of fun in the process. (Except for the gum scraping, that was gross..... but an important lesson for Max.... he will never just through his gum on the ground after that.)
The best part of the day...?... As we got home, Max says "I feel really clean now..."
"Oh?" I said, "Is it because your hands got really wet and you were scrubbing things all day?"
"No" he says, "I feel clean, like I did something really good."

Cool activity! You still in YW? And how did your hair get so long?
I just told Jeff what you did and he said, "I remember the elevators always smelled like fish." Way to go. That was THE ONLY dirty place in Japan, I swear. I hope it stays clean, for your sake!
It's so fun to see you living life in Yokosuka. It brings back good memories.
We miss you guys!! We would have had fun in Japan together! What happened to your Facebook?
