Springtime

Sickness has crept into our home this spring. Sherri came to visit us during golden week, and at some point during her travels, she developed bronchitis. Daniel and I have followed in tow, however the exact diagnosis of either of us is yet to be determined. The hospital system here is impossible for a non-Japanese speaker to navigate through, not to mention understanding whether medications prescribed are prudent in the healing process. Nonetheless, we are privileged not to be in South East Asia.

On a brighter note, this week has been in the mid 80s, and the month of May will continue to bring us what we understand to be summertime weather. We need not begin the discussion about the coming monsoon season in June, and unbearably hot months of summer. For now, we will stick to picnics in the park and trips to the beach.

Daniel and I will begin our bible study next Wednesday night. We will be studying the book of Acts, and anticipate 10-12 attendants to start with. We are so excited to see God's hand working in our hearts and in this city, and to have the opportunity to open our home and the scriptures in fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We want nothing more than for His mission to be fulfilled, and are thankful to be a part of it.
