Music: "Paprika" by Foorin
As I browsed through snapshots and videos of the past four years, I'm full of gratitude for all of the relationships with Japanese friends, and all of the ways God provided for me in the form of roommates, housing, home cooked meals, visitors, community, and the list goes on.
Thank you to all of you who have faithfully prayed for me.
Thank you to all of you who have given financially so that I could be in Japan.
Thank you to those of you who have visited me in Japan.
Thank you to those of you who have sent care packages to encourage me.
Thank you, mom, for visiting me every year, twice a year.
Thank you to my MSG (Missionary Support group) for meeting with me virtually every month, listening to my crazy stories, keeping me in check, caring for my heart, and for always pointing me to Jesus, my firm foundation amidst constant transition.
I have been on home assignment since September 2020 and I’m so happy to be able to reconnect with family, friends and supporters while debriefing my four-years in Japan. On home assignment I would also like to pursue further training that would be useful for future work in Japan.
As the cost of living is similar enough from Japan to the U.S. my financial needs remain the same; however, I am currently at 74% of my financial monthly goal. Please pray with me for increased financial support.
This week, I will be going to Colorado to attend MTI's DAR program to help me debrief and further process my term. Then in early December I will virtually do my SIM home assignment office visit.
Please pray for me as I debrief and meet with SIM staff.
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us."
