To all our friends in Japan . We hope your nearest and dearest are with you. We are sending you our love…our thoughts are with you.
I pray to God that everyone and everything is alright after the earthquake. I love Japan, and I want to go back someday!
Thank you my friends
I wish more longer day time
My prayers for comfort and strength go up for the people of Japan. May the Lord give you endurance & guidance during this time.
My heart is so heavy during these dark days and nights since Tohoku’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. People of all faiths and nations must remember that we are all one people and must all support each other in any way that we can. While most of my friends in Japan live in the Kansai region and didn’t directly experience the devastation of this event, they know the horror of Mother Nature: remember the Hanshin Quake of 1995. Their specific request is that we all continue to pray for Japan and for the Japanese. This is my plea as well: Pray for Japan, please.
My concern and sympathy to all the people in Japan.
がんばって下さい！The bright future is always with you.
This is really a very good website. Keep up the good work.
My prayers and love are with you all.
