The restoration of Wakamatsu Sakaemachi Church started in May and finished in November. Everything was so blessed during that term. We would like to thank God and every one of you for supporting us and praying for us. 　The church looks in a dignified manner and gives a warm atmosphere even in the snow. ■Click! Here 　Aizu Mass Chior was born in October, 2000. It is consisted of 80 members, who are very talented in music and stimulating people to be with. 　The first "ONE VOICE AIZU", AMC and other choirs' gospel live was held on September 21,2001 and 1500 people got together!! We were so amazed what God did for us, and still are. Don't miss the second "ONE VOICE AIZU", which will be held on Sep. 21, 2002!! ■Click!

	KIBO, 6 years old, is the youngest member in AMC and has a great sence of rhythm. He was so cool on the stage! 　Besides AMC, he is very interested in spinning a top and the second best top player to Etsuya in the family so far. He is looking forward to starting school in April.
	SEIGI is 10 years old. He is also a great AMC member. He loves gospel very much. He has started showing more interest in the piano and the drums. 　He is always ready to help his friends and anybody else in need. He has a good sence of humor and makes the guests feel at home.
	JIYU, 13 years old, started junior high school in April and has been enjoying the school life. He belongs to a vollyball club. Practcing it so hard every day, his figure has become so fitted and is as big as his father now. He also loves AMC and takes the tenor part. 　He has a strong hope to enter Heiwa's high school in Niigata, however, he has not realized what it means to his parents.
	HEIWA loves the life at Keiwa Gakuen High School, of course, it seemed to be a bit hard to adjust the life away from the family at the begining. However once he has met many wonderful friends from all over Japan, here he goes! He visited one of them in Osaka in summer by high way bus. 　He comes home only when the dormitory closes on vacations. And he calls his mother only when he needs...you know what, don't you!!
	TERUMI could be one of the AMC members who enjoyed dressing up the most at the every live and concert, and of course the singing, too. She changed herself with hair and dress so much that even her husband and sons would not recognize her. 　As starting her 40's, she intends to think of her life as not only a wife or a mother but also an individual,Terumi Kataoka. (O.K, etsuya and boys?)
	ETSUYA was so enegetic in the mission in and out of Aizu, the church restoration, Aizu Mass Choir and housework. It was a little difficult in getting his priorities right. He also had a hard time recovering from the loss of the GOSPEL HOUSE. Many of you probably remember the old house which used to stand next to us and be called "Daddy's house" by our sons. It was badly dameged by the snow last year, so we gave it up.

with love...
