It's been forever since I've written - so although its a bit old news, for my own reflection I'd like to write about the rest of our time in America. It truly was a fantastic time with friends and family, as well as very productive in meetings with churches, supporters, and missions committees, sharing about MSGF in Japan, and our hopes for the future.
We had great family time in Wichita with Seth's parents.
His sister Shelby was overseas during that time, so we had family time over skype!
One of our great supporting churches, CCC in Wichita, had a Family Fun Extreme week, where Seth and I shared each night in 20 minute sessions to the kids about working in Japan. It was a blast!
That week at CCC, the kids raised above and beyond their goal to give 50 Bibles to the new church in Osaka! Each paper on the wall went up after they raised $25 (the price for one Japanese Bible)
After Kansas, we spent a quick 24 hr trip in Arizona with my darling Grandparents.
I'm so thankful for that time!
Next was 24 hours in Las, Vegas, where we had a blessing of sharing at a supporting church - the Crossing in Vegas, and spending time with Seth's Uncle, Aunt, and cousins!
Next was one week in Nevada with my Dad and Linda. It was such a relaxing time! We took a few days and went hiking in Yosemite National Park. God's creation is SO awesome!
Then Seth headed back to Japan, and I spent 10 more days in IL.
This was a great night with my fantastic friends.
Making memories! I'm so thankful for friends.
Finally Seth's sister came back from overseas and was able to come to IL for a quick visit. It was such a sweet time!
I'm so thankful for all those who showed us love and hospitality, generosity, etc during our time in America. You are missed!
