This is a sure
sign we've truly figured out how to make trailer-life work for us and that we've adjusted to Michael's diagnosis.
Today, Nolan was
able to resume weekly Japanese lessons. Arielle joined from Oregon, Ryu and Kim
taught from Idaho and Nolan participated from the bunk house of the Caboose in
CA.
The kids and I
will keep "working" with our program to pick up conversational
Japanese (knock off Rosetta Stone), Michael and I are trying to learn hiragana
- the sign we're ready to start official lessons too.
OF COURSE this
event evoked deeper thoughts and emotions than realizing I should take Nolan for a hair cut......it was
EXCITING to hear Japanese in the home again. We all sort of lost heart thinking
we'd not make it back to Japan.....this is another act of surrender and faith
in 2016. I surrender my expectations God
will act in any set way in regards to us and Japan......but in faith, we'll
continue to prepare to serve in Japan until we hear, "No - go pastor in Moccasin,
MT."
We'd love any
helps for learning hiragana you happen to know.....
