Day 9 Move to Teshio or Toyotomi?

Many of you may not know how we ended up in Teshio so want to explain how the Lord worked to show us where to go. During our training time, the missionaries we were training with went every week on Sunday afternoons to hold one S.S. outreach. That meant that every other week it was…

Day 8-Invitations and unique opportunities

As we look back on various beginnings in the ministry both during training and once on our own, we are reminded that God’s timing is never “coincidence”. The key is just having our spiritual eyes open to see the openings that God gives at any particular time. One example of those times came in the…

Day 6 Remember — Our First Anniversary Prayer Letter

Before we forget, we apologize there aren’t very many pictures from our first couple years…we realized that they are all still in slides yet! Guess we should find a way to get them put from slides (beings we don’t use them any more) to digital pictures. Having run across our prayer letter we sent out…

Day 5 Remembering–FOODS

We can’t remember some of the early adjustments without talking about food! Strange food? No, just different food…in a land of almost 100% differences we tried as a family to say that things were different not strange–for they weren’t strange to those that lived here. ‘UUUyuck’ was never allowed to be uttered, although even we…

September Prayer and Praise Letter

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. II Thessalonians 3:1 These verses make an appeal for prayer to a local church…

Mommy’s Chocolate and Daddy’s Peanut Butter

From that title we are sure you get the idea–the food in Japan–the same or different you wonder! Browns that remind you of chocolate; dark creams that remind you of peanut butter; bottles that look like wine but have oil in them; vegetables that we have never seen the like before…and then there is the…

Our first home and other firsts

Beings we didn’t have a car the first couple years we were in Japan it was nice that at least the church was only about a 15 min. walk away (depending on whether we were walking with our children or not). It was a quiet neighborhood but opportunities to be with neighbors especially with small…

Memories Day Two

Here is a portion from the letter that included the following picture. Ken started working on simple S.S. lessons about 4 months after we arrived. It took quite a lot of time as you can figure out by the following sent to Vicki’s parents: I thought you might like to see what the rough draft…
