So guys! Guess what everyone has been asking us to do for a long time?
What?
An episode all in Japanese.
So a whole day where we just talk in Japanese.
Tomorrow? Tomorrow we're going to do it!
OK?!
And if it's something very important we'll say it in English, but we're going to try it in Japanese!
[Life in Japan Theme Song]
I'll make coffee.
Good morning to everyone who is watching
Rebecca, please set the table.
And Anna is... cleaning.
Will you eat breakfast?
Dad, will you eat? Yes!
Thank you
Ah! Japanese!
Rebecca, don't touch it! Hurry up!
Hurry!
Daddy too! Bye bye.
That looks delicious!
Delicious?
Delicious.
Anna, what will you drink?
Sarah! Good morning! Good morning!
Joshua, good morning!
This drink is called Mommy's drink.
Don't eat. Pray first.
Daddy please. Who? Me?! OK
Let's pray?
Loving Heavenly Father, thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful day and this great food.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Is it good?
Let's go?
Oh yeah, maybe we're going to get to school too fast!
We're going to get to school too fast.
Guys, Japanese!
Yeah, too fast, right?
Maybe. Maybe?
We were running the whole time. The whole time!
But why?
We were scared.
We were running away from Daddy.
Oh really?
Bye! Bye! See you later.
When you come home in Japan...
I'm back!
Welcome home!
There's Big J! Hey dude!
Oh! Japanese!

OK, see you later!
For my job, I use a lot of English.
But Ialso use Japanese.
Every Tuesday Ruth has an awesome Mother's Group.
They always meet at Paz Coffee Shop.
We drink coffee, have fun and talk about how to be a better mother and wife.
If you're a mother, please come!
We meet every week from 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
Ruth's back! And the ladies group was? Good!

Everything Japanese?
A little English with Sarah.
On the way to school I accidently talked in English with Sarah. I forgot!
Was it fun?
Kind of. Japanese wore me out.
Can I eat some Lucky Charms?
Yes, go ahead.
Sarah, what are you doing?
Today we can only speak Japanese. That's right!
Great! Go for it!
That's for us — for you anything goes.
You got this, Sarah chan! You got this! Sarah, can you do it? You can do it!
How is Japanese only day going?
Does your head hurt a little?

Anna's filiming the video now.
Dad's over there, Mom's driving,
Little sister is over here,
Little brother, Joshua kun, is over here,

It's Daiei.
A long time ago it was a popular place, you know.
But now, it's kind of sad.
Wow!
