kariya

i think kariya is probably pronounced "korea".  it would probably be easier to ask craig about this than to wonder about it.  anyway, evan was transferred from kasugai to kariya this week.  we got our first e-mail from kariya today.  i was worried it might not be as positive as all his other e-mails, but was so so grateful to hear today that things are still well in nagoya.  evan is living with three other nihongins (japanese missionaries).  he expressed that this was difficult, but the upside is that his japanese should improve by leaps and bounds.  can't wait to hear all about his adventures in the new city with new people.  elder parry sure is a shining example to all of us.
