My first week has gone well, all in all. After a major delay in Detroit, Elbert and I arrived safely home in Japan on Tue. Oct. 2nd around 3am. The staff team here welcomed us very well and have been a blessing in our transition. The BEST club students had a welcoming party for us before English time on Thursday evening. It was great to see old friends from when I was here before, and it was also good to meet the freshmen and sophomores for the first time. And of course, the food was delicious! Saturday night a few upper-class students took us out for a few hours of Karaoke- a good way to reconnect with them. And Sunday night I hung out with Yumiko (a senior I know from my last trip) in downtown Shizuoka, shopping and eating together. All of the adjusting has been emotionally draining, but God is meeting me in the midst of that, encouraging me that He loves me, He's with me, and He wants me to be here. Thanks for your encouragement and prayers- they're a blessing!
