Wherein you get 12,000 words' worth of pictures.

 And here we have Team 3 in front of our main project--a dentist's building in Yamamoto Cho that is (hopefully) going to be used as a relief center for Tsunami victims, and then a church. Hopefully because we don't yet know where the Japanese government is going to draw the line where they'll let people begin to rebuild. This is a couple kilometers from the shore. The dentist survived the tsunami by staying in the second storey of this building (you can faintly see the water line on the wall and windows behind us), but has about four other offices, and was willing to sell this one cooperatively to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Christian Reformed Church, a South Korean reformed denomination, and the Reformed Church of South Africa.

Some of the tsunami sludge we removed. These bags are heavy. In case you didn't know.

Setup with the Samaritan's Purse at Ishinomaki where they provide a meal each week for the residents still in the area.

 Some of us at Onagawa. Some Japanese men got excited and wanted to join us.

 We met some interesting Japanese teenagers in the shopping district in Sendai and they let David and Anna borrow their glasses for a photoshoot.

View of our cabins from the beach. Yes, that is a semi trailer that washed up. Stuff like that continues to wash up every single day.
