Our bags are packed, we're ready to go. We're standing here outside your door, we'd love to wake you up to say goodbye. We're leaving on a jet plane. . .
Well, the day is finally here. Kylee and I are departing the good ol' U.S. of A and flying to Narita Airport, Tokyo, Japan. We had a wonderful last evening with Dave and Becky, Grant and Courtney, Pete and Michelle and Jack, and Sam and Joyce. Dinner was classic American pizza, with salad as a side dish, and family goodbyes for dessert.
Our new home for the next three years will be at NAF Atsugi, Japan. It is in the city of Ayase, about an hour outside of Tokyo.
We are nervous, but mostly excited, to be heading to another country for the next three years. Although there will be a lot of new things to learn, and many new experiences to have, we rest in the knowledge that God has sent us to Japan as a part of His plan for us, and He is faithful to those who trust in Him. We would appreciate your prayers that we continue to put our faith in the Lord's provisions, and that He will guide us to good friends and community in Japan.
Sayonara!
P.S. This entry represents the first of many to come - this is our first blog, so be prepared for some growing pains as we learn the ins and outs of whatever it means to be a 'blogger'.
