St. Alban Church and the Nursery (Two)

After looking around and thinking of Yokohama Christian School trying to have a Middle School,

I went to the St. Alban's Nursery School.

I thought was a huge institute like the British School or Nishimachi International School

or what Pastor Linda had mentioned in  our meeting from her daughter's source;

it was very unlikely a small nursery school to accommodate the need of the Expats community

started with an Australian woman married to a Japanese and the size is about twenty to twenty five 

at maximum, now they have about twenty, using their limited rooms behind the church.

It is a small but warm school of ages about two to five, ages before entering kindergarten.

Now I understand why Shuma(my student) went to Aoba International School from there. It is a pre-kindergarten nursery, what Yokohama Union Church original had.

I met the director of the school and had a nice chat and found out her Filipino son of age 10 is attending the Japanese school and using an Elementary Math in Japanese which I am planning to teach in English in 2024  classes.

She mentioned most of her students will be in international schools and I learned from her what is the criteria of entering international schools.  I was surprised to find out that it is connection, contact and politics. 

Coming back I found out that Rev. Yamamoto mentioned that they would like to live in Manse. Somebody has to to tell YCS to move out from the Manse they had conquered. Who can do it ? And Are they competent? Are they even a Christian Church? Maybe they are Christians.I am very sorry for my wife work so hard to let the service going on and  to find the place for the new pastor. My daughter strongly suggested to withdraw from most of the church works but she won't listen then she said it is a "curt". And I should not to be involve in any of their issues as I tried to have Ferris and RCA and Rev. to "help" them before.

My daughter said take my wife to Karuizawa because she always wanted. I think I should...
