Elsbeth and Mariah: Discussing week
E-Wow! What alot of things we have done in the past week.
M- I am getting better at chopsticks!!
E- Yes, you are! You are learning at the rate of a shinkansen. (bullet train- see left)
M-I enjoyed helping with final preperations for the wedding we attended today. We made a just married sign, put flowers together, decorated the chapel, papered tables, swatted flies, tried some new japanese food, met some new friends, and played a great game of PIG (basketball).
E- Yeah, and I really love this area. I mean, we have mountains, and rice paddies, and beautiful, friendly people to welcome us into their homes and hearts. Evan keeps us laughing. The schedule keeps us hopping. We are learning new words. The work ethic is amazing- everyone pitchs in to do what needs to be done in smooth teamwork. I know what we have seen has been a very small pocket of believers and it is a reminder of the need for God's truth to be known.
M-I am learning news things each day and am thankful for being in Japan. God is teaching me about His love and faithfulness.
E- It's a good feeling to know I am where God wants me to be and doing His work.
So this is your tired, but happy blogging friends signing off for the night!

Is blowing bubbles at the wedding reception a Japanese tradition? (Dad wants to know.) The area there is so scenic! You and the others all look so happy. It makes me happy to see that!
Love,
Mom
As I read your conversation and saw Romi in the pictures, it occurred to me that we need to be praying for her and the others in Japan as the time approaches for the team to come home. I'm sure it is a huge encouragement to have all of you there right now; however, the enemy can use loneliness to discourage them once you come back to the states. Please tell Romi we said hello. We had the chance to visit with her at Pastor and Dale's home. Tell her I'm the one with the baby! We will keep praying for you all.
