Just wanted to send one last blog out before we leave for the airport in a few hours.
The Kawano's from Chino Christ Church came to visit today. They drove 4 hours to get here and we had a blessed time over an extended lunch talking about their church, their lives and their gratitude for the Chino teams that have been sent from South Bay and Crossway. Chi-chan is 8 now (that means it's 8 years that Crossway has sent a team) and she grew at least 2 inches since we saw her last year at this time. They send their love to all of you. Then they got back in their car and headed home. It was worth it.
Some miscellaneous thoughts on our trip:
- We realized how 'western' Yuriko has become. We were shocked when she walked out side of the church with her inside slippers on!! We couldn't believe it!
- The women drivers here in Japan are quite awesome. When they park their cars into a stall, no matter how tight, they always reverse into the parking stall. Not sure why that is so amazing (maybe it has something to do with observations made of U.S. drivers), but it is really something to behold.
- Gas stations in Japan are a reminder of how it use to be in the U.S. way back when.
- An international license really comes in handy. Just give $15 to AAA and you'll have one. We're thankful that Stan didn't bump into anyone or anything. PTL.
We'll be on our way to Haneda and will see you in a bit. Thank you for your prayers for traveling mercies. We give God all the thanks for you. Glorify thy name in all the earth.
And we will praise Him,
Stan
