Scrapbook day this month fell on a Friday. We finished our week of school in the morning and enjoyed a quiet afternoon. Once the neighborhood kids got home our big kids were outside playing until dinner, which was at the local mall as we had to buy a birthday gift for a party on Saturday. We finally have a school room and that has helped with schooling. We also have a lady come help with Jun a few mornings a week which allows me to teach without interruptions from 10-12. The big kids are adjusting well to life here. We've had some tough moments when playing with larger groups in the neighborhood with Miss M but overall we are doing well. I won't lie- I miss Tokyo a lot, both the city and our friends. It was home and I know it takes time to make a new home. But it is something else too- that city and the people captured our hearts in a special way. Maybe we will feel the same way here in a few years, but there is something about Tokyo. We love it, we miss it, and we both hope one day the Lord will lead us back there. Until then we will keep going through the process of mourning, grieving, and pursuing life in this new place as we both know God has brought us here for His purposes.
