Hello Friends! It has been a pretty good week here in Kojima. I am still doing a few things to settle in. I got to experience opening a bank account, which was very interesting. We also had our very first event here since I arrived. Yesterday, we had a "wrapping party" for Operation Christmas Child. … Continue reading A Look Around Kojima

I Have Arrived
Hello Everyone! This is the first of what will be my weekly blogs now that I HAVE ARRIVED IN JAPAN! While it was a very long trip, it was relatively stress-free. I was able to sleep on the plane and because of that have luckily had almost no jet lag. It was good to see … Continue reading I Have Arrived

I love to talk to people. Little else leaves me fulfilled the way sitting up late with friends discussing the weightier matters of life does. Of course, my two favorite subjects are religion and Japan. I could sit content for hours discussing these things. I never get tired of discussing how different Bible verses are … Continue reading 30 by 30

After a few days of resting and catching up on sleep, I'm back at work again. It's good to get to see … Continue reading Getting Back in the Swing of Things
Until Next Time…
As I sit here, I can't believe that two weeks have already passed. I realize how much I have missed Japan, and still how much preparation needs to be done before I move here. Today, Brent and I went to the Okayama Immigration Office to begin filling out forms for my missionary visa. The clerk … Continue reading Until Next Time…
New Beginnings
In 2015, I took trip to Shizuoka, Japan with Let's Start Talking, an organization that sends people around the world to spread the gospel using free English lessons. Every day, I would meet with several English students, of varying ages, and sit down with them and an easy-to-read version of the Bible. While this was … Continue reading New Beginnings
