Missionary Work Limericks 

by Sister Breksa

At night we like to go knocking

But when we hear people locking

Because it is too late

For as such they do state

We just keep on going on knocking

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

When housing, streeting, and biking

Finding is when we do teaching

Lessons we inquire

Who we might inspire

Teaching is when we do finding

きらきらぼし (Kira Kira Boshi) - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Japanese

Is there are a  hymn or song that goes through you mind as you work?

Typically:  

I hope they call me on a Mission

I`ve been working on the Railroad

Love at Home

How Great Thou Art

Amazing Grace

Come Come Ye Saints 

(When biking I sometimes make it rock version)

However: 

When biking in cold snow from Tsuzu I admit this song went through my mind- other than that I am good with following the rules- "Stayn` alive."

Japan: Volcanoes

There are 118 volcanoes in Japan!

Japan has over 100 active volcanoes, more than almost any other country and accounts alone for about 10% of all active volcanoes in the world. 17 Japanese volcanoes had been documented in eruption, more than the rest of the world combined (including 10 in Europe).

Japan is a part of the Eurasia continent and made up of more than 6,000 islands.  Also, it is formed on the volcanic line, called "Ring of Fire." (The regions of mountain-building earthquakes and volcanoes which surround the Pacific Ocean.) 

Mount Aso is the largest active volcano in Japan, and is among the largest in the world and was Japan's first documented historical eruption in 553 AD; it holds a record in the number of historically documented eruptions.
