Final Day: Meeting Relatives/甲子園口にて親戚と再会

Final day of Osaka Trip
大阪旅行最終日(2010/6/10〜12) 


Thanks Shiro for letting me stay at your place. It's always hard to say, "By-bye" to my dear friend!
Shiro君二泊三日、泊まらせてくれてありがとう。彼の家は一人では広すぎる2LKでした。来年春には素敵な奥様が一緒にいるね〜!! 



A pretty big pond near to Shiro's apartment 
Shiroの家の側の池、でかっ!



Before Kongo station. It was scorching hot! 
かんかん照りの中、Shiroの最寄り駅;金剛駅の前にて。



Koshien-guchi is the motherland where entire Goto family started! It has been spread out all over the world now!!!  




後藤家発祥の地。この地から始まり今では後藤家の中で50名以上が献身的なクリスチャンになりました。この場所に数回ぐらいしか遊びに来たことしかないのに、いつも霊的に感慨深いものを自然に感じ、主を褒め称えずにはいられません。



My relatives in Koshien-gushi: 

Matayoshi family(for the first time in years) 
Yokoi hushand and wife; 
          Aunt. Yoshiko(the first time in 12 years!) and
          Uncle. Masakazu, 73 years old (for the first in my life) 
This day became a super-duper special day to me!!! Praise the LORD!    

素敵な親戚みなさん!又吉家とは数年ぶり!そしてM叔母ちゃんとはなんと12年ぶり!M叔母の旦那様、Masa(73)さんとはなんと人生初めてお会いしました。ぎょぇ〜!!お会い出来て超感激です!!



A beautiful couple! Uncle. Masa always showed me a warm welcome while with him! Sweet! 
Masaさんは常に僕にスマイルを向け、歓迎の心を示してくださいました。素敵な横井ご夫妻。



 A hand-maid custard pudding by Aunt. Yoshiko! Beautiful!
Yおばちゃん特製プリン。ほっぺが落ちてしょうがなかったです。




A beautiful smile! いつも優しいYおばちゃん



Yuko next to me is one of the same-age sisters among Goto family. Thanks for serving me with almost overflowing grilled meat on my plate!  
親戚の中で、3人年が同じ姉妹がいます。その一人、Yuko chan! 僕のために肉を焼き続けてくれてありがとう!食べきれなかったよ(笑)



with Aunt. Chieko and her daughter. Yuko. 




The end of Osaka Trip!! Praise the LORD! Everything was just extremely beautiful by your grace!!! 
これで二泊三日の大阪旅行は、とんでもない祝福の溢れたものになりました。イエスさま、みんなありがとう!
