Dear Laura,

Hello, long time no see. How are you doing? We were so lucky because you were our guide. You taught us a lot of things, solved my “Passport” problem and made us laugh a lot, so I'm grateful to you. Thanks to you, I was able to have confidence in myself and I didn't give up easily. I will never forget the time I spent with you forever. It was fast 3 weeks, but it became an unforgettable memory of my life.

I'm so excited to see you again. Thank you so much!! I love you so much.

Dear the Calland Family,

Hi! Long time no see. How are you doing? I was so lucky because you were my host family. Thank you for allowing me to stay at your house and thank you for acceping me as your family. I was very worried to go to America apart from my family in Japan, but I'm glad I did. Thanks to you, I enjoyed living in USA a lot, and it became a memory of my whole life. Every day I spent with you was fun. Especially, the dinner time was so fun. I couldn't speak English well, but I was glad that you heard my words patiently. You are the ideal family for me. I felt you were like my real family. Three weeks went by in no time, so I wanted to be with you more.

I'm so excited to see you again. Thank you very much and I love you so much!
