the church service by Jimmy Carter

Hi!! I'm Mizuki :)


I had a chance to  go to Maranatha Baptist Church. Jimmy Carter still sometimes teach a Sunday School in there. Anyone can attend it.
Therefore, I could meet former president Jimmy Carter and attend church service :)!!! A lot of people came from some states like Alabama, Los Angels and Chicago.
He taught us about Abraham. When Abraham made a mistake, he believed God from the bottom of his heart and, he followed what God said. That is the key point for him. Jimmy Carter did a same thing. He said that "I'm not a perfect man, but I believe God, and I follow what God said". That leads him.
After I attended a normal church service, I could take a picture with him. Actually, I could not talk with him directly, but that was a good time for me.

こんにちは。瑞季です :)

元大統領 Jimmy Carterさんが今でも日曜礼拝を行っている教会に行く機会がありました！誰でも参加することが出来るのですが、その日もいろいろな州からたくさんの人がJimmy Carterさんの説教を聞きに来てました。その日のお話はアブラハムについてでした！アブラハムは過ちをおかし民から疎外された時、神を心の底から信じ、神の言葉に従ってきました。神を信じ、従うことが彼を良い方へ導きました。Jimmy Carterさんは、「私は完璧な人間でない。しかし、神を信じ、神の言葉に従っている。」とおっしゃいまいました！彼が行ってきた様々な行為の原点はそこにあるんだと思います :)
その後通常の礼拝にも参加し、最後にJimmy Carterさんと奥さんと一緒に写真を撮っていただくことができました♡

I learned the history of Jimmy Carter. I went to Plains High School, Boyhood Farm and Andersonville.

Jimmy Carter was graduated from Plains High School and now, that became a museum about Jimmy Carter. He made an effort to make a peaceful world. He often visited a lot of country during he was a president and after that, for example, he went to Africa to help poor people from health problems. I'm proud of him and his act.

Jimmy Carterさんの歴史や活動を知るため、Plains High SchoolやBoyhood Farm、Adersonville に行ってきました。

Plains High SchoolはJimmy Carterさんが卒業した高校で今では資料館となっています。アフリカの貧困地域における健康問題を解決するなど、彼が平和な世界を構築するために行った活動や多くの国を訪れたことが記されていました。彼は大統領である間はもちろん、それ以降も積極的に活動を行われていたそうです。

Oh! There is a replica of White house. Do I look like a president? lol

Jimmy Carter grew up at Boyhood Farm. There was the house he grew up, the farm and the store which was used. There are chickens, a dog and a cat. We were so lucky, because we could eat boiled peanuts :) That was awesome.
In Plains, a peanut is very famous and symbol. Peanuts festival is held every year.

Jimmy Carterさんが育ったBoyhood Farmでは、たまたまピーナッツを作っていたので、いただくことが出来ました♩とてもおいしかったです♩ここではピーナッツが有名でシンボルとされています。毎年ピーナッツフェスティバルが開かれるそうです !!

This trip was a so great experience for me. In my opinion, to believe God is to believe myself. That may be the key point of our life.

とても貴重な体験ができたことをとても嬉しく思います！！！

神を信じるというのは自分自身を信じるという意味にもとれるのではないでしょうか？ :)
