last week some of our oki friends blessed us with a visit. they are missionaries in okinawa for those who don't know. ms. joanna came out for a pastor's wives' conference and it was at the calvary chapel bible college that her son, zach, goes to. the rest of the familia didn't make it out, but maybe we'll see them this winter... they not only blessed us with a visit, but with "goma" salad dressing. goma means "liquid gold" in japanese or least that what it means in my house because it's that precious. we discovered this dressing in japan and always asked our friends to mail or bring some when they come back to the states.
the ruiz family family has always been a blessing to us and not because they bring the liquid gold. here's a link to their blog, so you can see what God is doing in oki through them:
so this is the pic of the "liquid gold". the one on the left, which came from oki, was actually cheaper than the one on the right, which came from hawaii courtesy of my brother. we love the dressing so much that we have been searching high and low for it and asking everybody. the only places we found it was hawaii and okinawa. so if anybody in so cal knows where to get the "goma" please drop us a line.

! love that stuff! Makes me want to eat cabbage! ;-) I brought some home with me after we PCS'ed. I never knew what it was called... I just called it Japanese dressing! haha.. There's a japanese market here in Vegas, I'll try to remember to get one for you guys! You should also try little Tokyo in L.A. or find a Japanese market nearby... ;-)
