What I liked
I enjoyed getting firsthand experience in ministering to Japanese children, neighbors, and mothers with the Edwards' gentle oversight and guidance. There was lots of laughter, tons of encouragement and constructive criticism, and I absolutely loved getting to live and participate in so much prayer and trust in God. We traveled all around Sendai, to neighboring cities, and even outside of Miyagi to other prefectures to learn from other missionaries. SEND's atmosphere can be described as one big family and I loved it! I landed in Japan nervous and unsure, but left Japan a stronger and more confident person.
