Under the weather...

Cameron and I have been sick this past week so we didn't do much of anything. It rained about every other day so we couldn't get out much anyway. Winter means cloudy and rainy in Nagashima apparently.

On to more cheerful news, the GRIT team from this summer ordered about 17 wooden swords from a factory in Miyakonojo. Chris Sadowitz, the missionary we were helping in the area often takes groups on a tour of the factory so they know him well. Many of our group had "God is Love" of part of another verse carved into the handle of their swords. The lady who did the carving recently wrote Chris a 3 page letter pouring out her heart to him. She discribed her worries and fears and how carving "God is Love" all those times had given her something to think about. It is amazing how God can use something so simple to open a door to someone's heart!

Susan's parents arrive in Japan wednesday. They are in Korea with Susan's sister Merilee now. Chloe and Cameron have been anticipating this visit for a long time! They have been asking at least once a week for months, "Do they come tommorrow?" And now, finally, we can say , "Yes!"
