Workday for the community...
Sunday morning our community gathered bright and early to clean up the roadsides. Men with weedeaters and rakes met to clean up 6 months of weeds that have grown up since the spring cleanup. One of the differences we have noticed betweed the US and Japan is this community spirit that binds people together. In Japan the group is of primary importance and the community in which you live is an important group!
A little housekeeping . . .
We are working to improve the website and make it easier for us to update , hopefully leading to us updating it a little more often! We appreciate any questions or comments, its always nice to know someone is at least looking at some of this.
I have taken it a little slower than usual this week. I think I have been in overdrive for too long! It took me three days to slow down enough to enjoy an afternoon at the park with Cameron and Chloe. I think I am sufficiently recovered and I'm starting to look forward to making our furlough schedule and beginning the process of finishing up our life in Nagashima.
Fall is on its way...
Well, I just realized I haven't added a post in almost a month! It has been a busy month for me. I took two classes from Liberty Theological Seminary online, I have been working on some ideas for next term, getting started with furlough preparations, preaching at church, and taking an occasional few minutes with my family, when Joel and I aren't doing something semi-important! Whew!
Saturday I am taking the ABWE missionaries on a rock climbing trip. I am planning to use rock climbing in ministry in the future and a few of the guys are interested in seeing what it is about. We have a meeting in the morning so we won't get started until after lunch, we should have time for everyone to get in a good climb or two before we need to pack up though.
Cameron and Chloe are still mostly ignoring Melodie. She is really starting to grow however. In another few months she will be on the floor with them, much harder to ignore! Is is paying much more attention to them now. She really stares hard at them sometimes!
