Haruna

Yesterday I helped Haruna shop for gifts to take to people she will meet in Canada. We had a nice time and even ate some donuts :-)
(By the way, the 'r' in Japanese sounds like a mix between and 'l' and 'd', a little closer to 'l', for future reference).
I have been praying that the Lord would bring Christian people into Haruna's life while she's overseas, and specifically that her host families would be. Today Haruna told me she just found out that her host family in Ohio (she will be there for one month meeting other students before heading up to Canada) are Christians!! Her host mother is the church secretary at the church where she and about twenty other foreign exchange students will be studying and preparing for this next year!! Praise the Lord once again for answered prayer and God's perfect plan!!! (I love exclamation marks...yes, I admit it) Haruna is looking forward to taking her new bilingual Bible with her as well. God is working and creating something new in this precious girl. With His power it's only a matter of time.
