L.O.V.E

Hey everyone!

We thought we would share some pictures really special to us from our 2 visits to Japan back in 2008. We have been extremely affected by the horrific images & video of the aftermath from the disastrous earthquake and following tsunami last Friday. We continue to pray for the beautiful and humble people in one of the world’s most beautiful countries.

We can all make a difference by making a small donation to help the people of Japan! The best way to make sure your donation is going to make a difference is to be able to trust the organization you’re working with. We made donations through Red Cross (redcross.org) since it is a worldwide organization and trust worthy, The Japanese Red Cross operates 92 hospitals throughout the Country! You can simply text “RedCross” to 90999 and that will automatically charge $10 to your next phone bill. That $10 will help those affected by this disaster. It’s very easy to do, here a screen shot from one of our phone’s to show you what it looks like, we just did this today and hope we can encourage you to do the same…

Hi Friends,

My heart goes out to my many friends in Japan. Me and my family are hoping and praying that you and your families are safe after the earthquake. My thoughts are with each and every one of you, some of you guys I have known since the beginning of my career such as Johanna (JJ) and Aoi. I love the country of Japan. When I was there singing for the Japanese world series and on their tv shows, I got to experience the graciousness and beauty of the Japanese people. They touched my life in so many ways and it is devastating to me to think that such a terrible thing has happened.

My message to them is this: Don't lose hope, Don't give up, Don't be afraid to ask for help. I love you!

If you guys can, please send me a message to let me know that you are ok. Until then my prayers and love go out to you and your beautiful country. May God uphold you and bless you.

And to my friends around the world, please give what you can to the relief effort. I have been there and I can tell you that the Japanese people are lovely souls with great class and honor. They need to know that we support them. Thank you!


Love,
Ariel of NMD
