Girls' Talk

We had Girls' Talk at a girl's apartment in downtown Sendai. Most students live in a tiny (but adorable) one-room apartment by themselves. It's a country full of introverts!

We made takoyaki (octopus balls) and talked about marriage and relationships. They had questions about our opinions on the type of husband we want, what the perfect date would be like, and how we could balance work and home life well. One of the women translated for us, which was a huge blessing. This was by far my favorite thing we've done so far. It was amazing to see the differences in how we think. Japanese girls don't think as often about marriage, but they do all want to have a boyfriend. When they do date, they will date for several years until they have enough money to afford a wedding.

Takoyaki is made with flour, eggs, water, and cabbage as a batter. The batter is put into what looks like a cake ball maker and then you can put in octopus, ham and cheese, etc. It was delicious!

Please pray for these girls! Tomoe, Riho, Chihiro, Nana, Yuka, and Minami. There are 3rd and 4th year university students.
