The day we went to Bethel University and we tours of the university. Bethel University is very, very large and there are two lakes in the university. So students can go out the building and go to the lake at the lunch time or after school. That's wonderful. After that we went to Mississippi river and go down the river. I felt good and we met a pretty girl and she is 7 years old. She was talking long time it's almost 20 minutes. We cannot understand all about her talk because she spoke very fast. She never mind if we do not understand. That was interesting time. The evening my host mother picked me up at the university and we went to seafood restaurant. I cannot read the menu but she explains the menu for me. The dinner was great and during the dinner, we talked about each family and friends. She showed me some pictures of her family.

I'll write about on Sunday July 30 in America. That morning my host mother and I went to a church. I have never been to there until the day. My host mother introduced me to her friends. After that host mother's friend and her daughter and we went to a restaurant for lunch. First a waitress brings some drink to us but I really surprised because the glass were so big! Of cause lunch plate are big, too. Although I just ordered three pancakes but I could not eat all. After lunch, we went to PLAZA for watching movie but I surprised again because the price for movie was cheap. In Japan we should pay 1500 yen for each person but I paid only $2 in America. That was very nice. And next, we went to a park for picnic with all of students. There are lots of hot dogs and cookies and sweets. I could not eat anything more but we were talking and do Origami. I taught Origami to American people. We had a good time. The day was very tired.
