Thank you for your concerns for our safety especially concerning the problems with the Fukushima #1 nuclear power plant which is over 170 miles from our Machida home. We are monitoring developments very carefully. We are safe and prepared. No radiation has been reported in our area.
Today we limited our outdoor activities. Instead by phone we called some missionary friends and a pastor in our area fortunately everyone is doing well. We have heard good reports on relief efforts (below). It seems things around Machida are gradually improving. Our grocery store even had bread and milk in the afternoon. Trains have been running more normally in our area. We still have not had a planned electrical blackout.
