長島さんレポート110329

Dear Friends 29 March
https://picasaweb.google.com/thomas.nagashima/Shichigahama_town20110329#It's the end of the world.
I saw it today.
Shichigahama town means "Seven beaches town" i.e. there exist Minato beach, Matsugahama beach, Syobutahama beach, Hanabuchihama beach, Yoshidahama beach, Yogasakihama beach and Toguhama beach.
This town is located next to Sendai.
Indeed it had been beautiful seaside town.
You can see some images of beach among the photos.
We can see the beach is filled with rubble and containers.
I remember the blessed memory when we made a camp fire together with the students of Sunday school here.
Tsunami pushed down the notice board which notices the tsyunami evacuation area.
Tsunami rediected the arrow on it from the mountainside to seaside.
Who ane not overwhelmed by a feeling of despair?
But young people are strong.
Today, the members of church together with the members of YMCA worked as volunteers in this town.
Pray to God for them.
