Breakfast of pancakes with Yu and Shige..our neighbors. Shared the gospel with them and gave each a Japanese Bible. They are leaving town for Bali for 3 months Pleas pray that God will continue to reveal Himself to them and lead them to His word. 

More beautiful scenery! The water is crystal clear as well and NO sharks!! 

Our ride while in Japn. I already wrecked it once! OOPS!! (jennifer) 

Our neighbors...YU, Shi-ge and Mark going surfing! Please pray for them as we share with them! 

Here is a lovely $60.00 T-SHIRT!!! Pizza Hut pizza was $60.00 for 2 larges...INSANE!! 

Small shrine tyoe thing you see all over the place. We hear they are to appease the gods....hmmmm 

Local kids hanging out on the beach! Very cute! 

My favorite part...the monkeys!!! Love them! They live about 10 minutes from our home...they just hang out on the side of the road and up in the trees! 

A picture of Ikumi Beach, 5 minutes from our home! Very beautiful. This seems to be the local surf hangout most of the time. There is a hot dog shop right near by! BONUS for sure. Of course the hot dog is $3.00 and is like a long slim jim. But hey that works for me! 

Bedroom with stuff from home to make it nice and so we can think of all you guys!! MISS YOU!! 

Living room in apartment!! Very cozy and cute! 

Sunrise in Japan out of our bedroom window! BEAUTIFUL place!! 

SUICIDE

Suicide rate in Japan is HUGE and rising. The newest thing in Japan is group suicides. Many Japansese who do not excel or fit in with peers and in academics, feel it is better to take their own life. The movie "The Last Samarai" demonstrates this in some degree. Please pray thay God will open their ears and hearts to His message of hope! Many have heard the Gospel yet reject it. However, God is working and Japanese have begun to accept the Gospel and start to spread it among their own people. The major religions are Shintoism and Buddhism. Pray that Mark and I will have patience and increased love for these people God has called us to. We will be there in less than a month!

ALMOST TIME

Well, it is almost time for us to leave this place!! We will be on our plane in less than one month! We ask for prayer for our safety and for our families as we say our "good-byes". We ask that you would continue to pray that God would open the hearts of those we will share with and guide our footsteps to them. We will miss you all more than you or we can even imagine!! We love you all! Romans 15:13
