This is a Happy Easter card that my students Mitsuki and Yamane made for me. They are from a Christian family in Japan, so they celebrate Easter. It was nice to have this greeting. One night, a few weeks ago, their grandfather asked me, "do you know any hymns?" and I said, "Of course." He pulled out a hymnal in Japanese and pointed to one. Then he started singing. I recognized it as "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." His wife and granddaughter joined in, and I was able to read enough of the words to sing along. It was a really cool, unexpected, and comforting moment.
