A Fun Week

Ok, I was starting to slip there. It's been nearly seven days since my last update and we just can't have that. Here's what happened this week (well, not really everything 'cause I don't think you need to hear about every detail of my life, right?).

Wednesday was a great day because I got to go to the airport and welcome the MacDonald family. I love being at the airport, especially when there's the excitement of saying hello to teammates and friends. The Mac's have six people in their family: Donnie and Ruth, and their kids, Katie, Evan, Amy, and Caroline. I've had a blast with them already. We went bowling yesterday but I unfortunately had no willpower to try. I managed to get two gutter balls in a row! (I'm not usually that bad, I promise) Please pray for their family as they are desperately searching for a house to move into near the Good News Church.


The Mac's and me at Narita airport. Why do they look so tired? You'd think they'd just flown halfway around the world. ;-)

Oh, the trip to the airport is another story. It's like going on a road trip! It took us three hours to drive there...on the expressway. I left my house at 10am and got home at 6:30pm.



Left to right: Haruna, Katie MacDonald, Maichi, and me.

This was Friday night at my apartment. God's been working and Haruna and Maichi want to seriously study the Bible. So we did! We started a bilingual Bible study for non-believers. We want to meet a couple more times before the girls head off to their homestays in Canada and America. Please pray for spiritual understanding for Haruna and Maichi. I've learned that, especially in a country like Japan, non-believers will never understand deeper than the historical facts about Christ unless the Holy Spirit moves miraculously to remove the fog from their spiritual eyes.
