Mayumi is probably disappointed by the lousy weather in Vancouver.
I don't think so because, as you said, when you're happy it doesn't matter the weather.
Yes, that's true.
Actually, Mayumi is quite happy here in Vancouver because she'll start her new life. I'm pretty sure that Mayumi will be able to sing even in the rain.
Now what's on her mind?
Well... to tell you the truth, Mayumi is thinking of baking bagels for the people who gather at your church. You see, she visited your church in last December.
(To be followed)

After visiting an orphanage run by a group of French nuns, Kitty volunteers her services, and she starts working in the music room. To her surprise, the Mother Superior tells that her husband loves children, especially babies. Now, she begins to see him in a new light as she learns what a selfless and caring person he can be.
How come you brings up the movie again?
Well... when Dr. Fane sees Kitty with the children, he in turn realizes she is not the shallow, selfish person he thought her to be. You see, Diane, redemption starts here, that is, working at the orphanage is an eye opner for both of them. Likewise, Mayumi's experience at your soup kitchen seems to her an eye opener because Mayumi volunteers and helps the Japanese-Canadian kids at the language school, and now thinking of baking bagels and bringing up those for the people who gather at your soup kicthen.

That would be great, but let me check if she could do that at the soup kitchen.
I would really appreciate if you do that.

Have you ever been to a soup kitchen?
The earliest occurrences of soup kitchens are difficult to identify.
Throughout history, societies have invariably recognised a moral obligation to feed the hungry.
The philosopher Simone Weil wrote that feeding the hungry when one has resources to do so is the most obvious obligation of all, and that as far back as Ancient Egypt.
Soup has long been one of the most economical and simple ways to supply nutritious food to large numbers of people.
The earliest modern soup kitchens were established by the inventor Sir Benjamin Thompson (1753-1814), who was employed as an aide-de-camp to the Elector of Bavaria in the 1790s.
He was an American-born British physicist and inventor whose challenges to established physical theory were part of the 19th century revolution in thermodynamics.
He also served as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Loyalist forces in America during the American Revolutionary War.
After the end of the war he moved to London where his administrative talents were recognized when he was appointed a full Colonel.
In 1784 received a knighthood from King George III.
A prolific designer, he also drew designs for warships.
He later moved to Bavaria and entered government service there, being appointed Bavarian Army Minister and re-organizing the army.
In 1791, he was made a Count of the Holy Roman Empire.
He spent eleven years in Bavaria, reorganizing the army and establishing workhouses for the poor.
He also invented Rumford's Soup, a soup for the poor, and established the cultivation of the potato in Bavaria.
A "soup kitchen" was born as part of his "social work."

Hi, I'm June Adams.
Kato is a real movie lover, who tries to watch 1001 movies by the end of this year.
(lib50112a.png)
■"Actual Catalogue Page"
So far, he's watched 658 movies.
That is, he must see 343 more movies to accomplish his goal.
I'm particularly interested in Number 649 in the above list.
It is called "The Sawshank Redemption."

Kato jotted down his comment as follows:
This is a 1994 epic American drama written and directed by Frank Darabont.
Adapted from the Stephen King novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", the film tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who is sentenced to life in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover despite his claims of innocence.
During his time at the prison, he befriends a fellow inmate, Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, and finds himself protected by the guards after the warden begins using him in his money laundering operation.
I think this is one of the greatest movies, in which you could feel, as if in realty, that maintaining one's feeling of self-worth is quite important even when placed in a hopeless position.

This film clearly shows how you can be free, even in prison, or unfree, even in freedom, based on one's outlook on life.
The above comment sounds quite interesting, doesn't it?
Why don't you see it?
