We just finished a busy but fun week. The Koreans that stayed at our church were a real blessing. They passed out a couple thousand papers telling about our church, visited the handicapped school in Ome, and put on a wonderful Korean Food Festival at our church. I didn't know kimchee Pizza could taste so good!

It is good to be back in Japan! We had a great time in the states, but it is always nice to be HOME.

Today Mark, a friend from church, Katie and Luke climbed Mt. Fuji. It took them nearly 7 hours to reach the top and Katie threw up twice along the way. She didn't give up though and was determined to make it. What a trooper!

This weekend is our church summer retreat in the Mts. and next week we have a Korean team of 26 people staying at the church all week. Never a dull moment!

Just two more days and we will be on our way home. It is a good thing too, as I don't think our wallets or our suitcases can handle to many more trips to Wal Mart!!

Sunday was really fun, we went to our old church in North Carolina. We used to be Youth Leaders there. We had an upstairs room in an old barn that we had finished off and called "The Upper Room". This past week the kids worked real hard to repaint it and fix it up so we could see it when we came. It is amazing that we were gone for three years but when we went back it felt like we had never left.
