I am relieved to have made sure of all my friends' being safe.

I could contact Motomu,my cousin in Miyagi,by cellular phone. Motomu said he was safe, but he was suffering from shortage of oil. And,even today,7 days after the earthquake,they have to spend without electricity. Anyway,I could make sure that all my friends in the area stricken by the earthquake and tsunami were all safe.
I sent emails to Torill in Norway and Maria in Urguay. They responded to my message in which I had mentioned the situation of Japan.
In the afternoon, Mr.Hon-ma,our neighbor,came and said that an old lady in his next-door house passed away. Her funeral will be held on the evening of Monday(vigil)and on the morning of Tuesday next week. I visited the lady's house, and was requested to work as the chief of the care-takers of the funeral,and I accepted it.
