Japan

Living in Japan

My family and I used to live in Japan. We came to San Diego because my dad is in the Marines. We live in MCS Miramar. All the family that came was me, Jacinta, Kimberly, Nina, and Stepmom, and really dad.

The trip to California was long. The wat we git here was by plane, bus, plane, and van then we got here. It took us one week to get to California. The month we came here was in October I think. By Andre, Gr. 4

They provide youth fellowship as well as adult fellowship. Always new and fun things going on like parties, luncheons, breakfast, and many more exciting actives. With two different pastors there are new things to learn and share with friends and family. Sunday school is every Sunday for all ages. So as you can tell the SDJCC is a great place to spend your time. By Brittany, Gr. 8
