Pa leaves the Island

Pa left. He will be missed and by the account of many students here and church members has been a blessing, from sharing his cherished peanut m&ms to fixing broken toes ^_^

Back to the states he went.
Said his goodbyes these kind and that kind, last minute on the way to the airport ones to (last minute: that's how my Pa roles ^_-)

pa's last wednesday night in Oki

He is leaving on this Sunday and my mom and Izak next week but the church family won't be able to send my dad off by then but they will be able to do so with my mom and Izak. So we had a bit of a party last night. he said he was sad and so was ma but it's all good. the Lord has a plan for them going back to the states and we'll see if they ever come back to Oki. Joanna made a m&m topping cake for my dad since he was famed throughout CC Ginowan for his M&Ms.

21st of september

It was Megan's b-day so we went bowling that Monday night. Everyone had a blast.
A few new faces:

Anna: from Germany, first semester of Bible college and Emi: from mainland Japan from Tokorozawa, Saitama area (goes to a different church not CC Tokorozawa)

Back in Oki

I've really been back since the semester started on the 1st of September. we've had many adventures since then. I just had not had the chance to update since my camera has been not working. But this batch of college students are pretty cool. A few old faces and come new ones.

last tokyo supper

the Sato family who have their two kids (Mari and Yuichi) enrolled at Rich and Candice's English School (We Go Weigo Fuchu) invited us over to have a takoyaki party 8 ihad fun making the takoyaki)/my going away dinner with them. It was great they reall are a sweet family and loyal too they've been coming to the Bible studies on Friday that Rich teaches, but they have not confessed Jesus Christ as their Savior. Please pray for their salvation.

i certainly am going to miss the church family here in Tokorozawa and Fuchu. if you also are reminded of it, please pray for Rich and Candice Rose as they are going to start Sunday morning church service here in Fuchu this September. Praise the Lord for He is doing a mighty work.

Goodbye mainland, hello Oki.

tokorozawa matsuri

this past Saturday CC Tokorozawa put up a booth for a matsuri for one of the neighborhoods in Tokorozawa. They sold burritos, Taco rice, nachos, and Hawaiian shaved ice. we also had games to play for prizes. it was busy all day from morning till night so time flew by really fast. This was just a practical way to shine the light of Jesus in the community. It was definitely good fun.
