We have to bake 950 christmas tree and star cookies this week, so this morning was the beginning of the cooking. The Ghents own a christian bookstore/cafe next to the church, the only one in the prefecture, so Ruth Ghent has really good baking/craft skills! All of us are hoping to learn!
After a few hours, lots of kneading, sprinkling, baking we made 200 cookies!!!
Meanwhile Joyce and Tin-Lok went wreath making with Ruth and some older women.
We then had lunch by the two most inexperienced 'cooks' in the team - Julie and Grace!! hahaha fried rice and miso soup. mmm well people didn't die and I think it tasted alright :P
After an arvo of resting in the arvo, we practised our skits for the Ghents ready for the zilions of christmas parties we have this week!
Good ol John - token aussie dude, gets to be Santa, Joseph hehehe...
"Jesus brings peace on earth"
After another trip to the 100 yen shop (its so good and cheap!)
We had a quick dinner and went down to Wreath making again - but this time there were HEAPS of PEOPLE! lots of cute kids as well as middle aged women and one old grandma.
I love wreath making - its so fun. Here in Japan, plastic christmas trees are looked down on, so all trees are REAL so our wreaths were of course taken from trees and we pulled off branches, cut, wired and added various nice decorations :)
We had a lot of fun!
This is my kid and her wreath. - Misaki's Wreath!
