Hello All,

I wanted to let you know sooner rather than later, because I may not have time to get to it if I don't do this now. In about a week and a half, my two younger brothers and I will be travelling on a mission trip to Japan. Our flight is July 11th, and we don't get back home until July 23rd. It looks like I'll be able to take my laptop with, but I don't know about wifi or even if I want to have the extra weight (I'll already have my fiddle to carry around!).

If you could pray for a safe trip, that would be great! We will be working with two churches over there, in Yokohama and Saitama. according to the CIA World Factbook, only about 2% of the population of Japan are professing Christians. My prayer is that we change that.

Don't irreparably destroy the place while I'm away, who knows, I may be watching you!

さようなら!

Also, please pray for the language barrier. Neither I or my brothers speak Japanese very well, and only five people out of our team of about 20 speak it fluently, so it will be interesting! To say the least...

Alright, have a safe trip and I pray you and the others will have ample opportunities to be a witness!

I hope your trip goes well. I'll pray.

Have a great trip! Will certainly pray.

May the Lord bless your trip for His glory! I'll pray for you!

Wow, that sounds like so much fun! I'll be praying that you enjoy your time as you do great things for the Lord.

Bye! I hope you have a good time, and I will be praying.

Have fun! I loved Japan. Lived there for 2 years.

Thanks, everybody for the prayers!

@Airianna, where did you live there? We'll be visiting Yokohama, Tokyo, and Saitama.

I landed in Tokyo and spent some time there, but we lived in Okinawa, a little Island off the coast.

That's really cool! Do you ever go back and visit?

I didn't know you lived there once, Airi!

Really? You never knew that? That is odd.

You are full of surprises, Airianna.

This is true.

I've only been here for one whole day, but I love it here! Can't believe I only have ten whole days to look around. I'm definitely going to apply to be on the team that returns next year... When I get back from Japan I will definitely have a "debrief" of sorts on both my website and my blog with pictures from the trip.

Cool. We will look forward to it.

I look forward to seeing pictures!

I also didn't know you lived in Japan, Airi.

Hmmm.... that's weird, I thought everyone knew that. Guess not.

Here is the overview of what we did, it is a little broad, but hopefully still informative. http://white-horseinnblog.blogspot.com/ ... rview.html. I used to know how to embed links in words, but I forgot...

Welcome back.

Thanks! It's great to be back, but I miss it already...

Welcome back! I'm so glad it went well!

*will be sure to read the blog post!*

Welcome back!
