We have decided that we are definitely going to Manila for 10 months! The Lord is providing miraculously and we have enough to buy our plane tickets and about 90% of our monthly budget commited. Please pray that the money for the deposit on our apartment will come soon.
The biggest problem we have is that we are so busy it is hard to get ready to go! This is a good problem to have because there are many great things going on - but we appreciate your prayers that we will have time to do everything we need to do to prepare. Visas, dentist appts, I have a surgery on my ear scheduled for April 26th to remove a small benign tumor, I need to renew my driver license, pack and ship some things ahead of us, etc, etc, etc. We have a looooong list of things to accomplish this month.
We also need to move out of the house that we have been living in by the end of the month. We plan to visit Satomi's parents in Nagoya and then the Sagers in Shizuoka before we leave.
This week Sam & Nancy Webb came to Japan along with Nancy Ho to minister at our MSI-Japan pastors conference. They are also travelling around to many of the churches in the next couple of weeks to preach and encourage the people around Japan. Here is a picture taken last Monday of some Pastors and Missionaries who came to Yokohama to hear the Webbs.
On Wednesday, Nancy and Millie spoke during our morning service. We had a good turnout for a midweek service. About 75 ladies came to hear the message and I saw some new faces in the crowd. Afterwards, "Auntie Millie" Ho taught some of the ladies how to hula dance. Here are some pictures from Wednesday.
Satomi led worship, I played guitar and James (not in picture) played drums:
Lots of ladies showed up Wednesday to hear Nancy and Millie preach the Gospel:
