It was great to have you at Kani Evangelical Church in Kani City Japan today for Sunday morning worship. It was exciting for me as a missionary associated with the Christian Reformed Church in North America to talk to your prinicipal. May the Lord bless your trip.
Thanks John, wonderful fellowship today. It was such a blessing for us.
Hi John

Hi Libi, hope it was a good flight & you managed to catch a few zzzzz’s. Got the same red light on the way home, and again not another car in sight (stop laughing). Strawberry had laid her egg this morning. Have the most amazing time. Don’t forget to take a few photos. Love you xxx
… The fact that you knew I was laughing scares me. Good for strawberry; hope they hatch. Thanks; I forgot to take pictures flying in (I know, sorry) but I got a lot today. Love you too 🙂
Hi Libi, Strawberry laid another egg last night. So, guessing you had a window seat…never mind about the pics flying in. Can’t wait to see the ones from Day 1 and hear about the incredible places you’ve visited. Big hugs x
