This is Gen Kato from Gifu, Japan. Gen is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was fun to get to know him, even though his stay was very short. We hope this experience in Utah will help Gen prepare for and serve a mission.
Gen Kato & our family, the night before he left to go home.
This is Yuuki Takahashi from Nishiwagamachi in Japan, Iwate prefecture. He was a really great kid, kindof quiet, but he warmed up to us right when it was time to go home.
Emi loved playing tug-o-war with Dash!
Our last night together after the dinner & program! Emi was pretty emotional.
Our farewell dinner with Emi. Hamburgers and hot dogs, baked beans, chips. We had Emi try Root Beer! She didn't like it, but got a good laugh and she took a can home to try on her little sister.
Emi's Graduation Certificate!Congratulations Emi!

Our family with Emi, (Mike's taking the picture) at Olympic Park, Bear Hollow!
One of the days that Emi was here, she went to Courage Reins, a horse-therapy center for children with disabilites.
At Courage Reins, Emi was able to observe & help children with disabilites get the therapy they need with the gentle horses there.
Emi was really excited about this opportunity to visit Courage Reins. There isn't anything like this kindof a program using horses in Japan. She loved it!
