On Monday, June 16, we left Japan and arrived in Abbotsford safe.......with some adventures, yet safe. And I say left and arrived on the same day because we left Japan at 12:35 pm on Monday, and arrived in Vancouver at 11:30 am on Monday..........time difference if you're confused.
Well, during debrief, I don't really have much time to blog, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm in Canada safe and sound. Thanks for all your prayers. Much love. Blessings.

Today is the day...
Today is the day that we leave Japan.
It is insane how fast time has gone by, and as we had an awesome full day at Toyota Higashi Christ Church yesterday, we realized how close you can get to your brothers and sisters in Christ, even though you don't speak the same language. God has done so many things in, around, and through us while we've been in Japan for 3 1/2 months. We've had our trials, but we have definitely seen God's hand in everything.....and I mean everything!
Please pray as we travel for about 25 hours. Pray that we would stay healthy, enjoy each other's company, that our luggage may not cause too many problems and that it gets back to Canada safely, that we have divine appointments with people and that we will be able to share God's love everywhere we go, and most of all, pray that we learn how to trust God in everything....and I mean everything!
Blessings.

In about 10 days...
In about 10 days, we'll be heading back to Abbotsford, BC, Canada for our 10 days of debrief and then finish our TREK experience on June 27. Even though we only have about 10 days left in Japan, it seems like we have about 3 weeks worth of things to do. But it's all jam packed into these next few days and I'm looking forward to seeing how God works when we just lay down our lives. At the end of the day, we are all tired and weary, but we are glad that we can be "going all out" these last few days that we have in Japan as the TREK team.
As we've talked about the end of our TREK experience coming closer and closer, a lot of us get really sad and almost teary. God placed our team together amazingly and we've had some amazing relationships develop within the group, the missionaries in Japan, and the Japanese people. All of us have learned something and have been stretched in more ways than one, and I thank God for that.
Please pray that these last few days in Japan will be more meaningful than we can ever imagine. Pray also that we may stay healthy and well rested. These days get longer and packed as we go on, so please pray that we also have patience with each other, ourselves, the missionaries, etc. Thank you for staying updated with me and we all truly appreciate the prayers.........more than you'll ever know!
Blessings.
