Moshi Moshi (pronounced Moshy Moshy)! Well, we just finished our tasty lunch that we picked up from a Japanese Mini Mart. It was a bit scary selecting from the wide variety of foreign looking foods. I opted for a triangle shaped package, which had pork and rice in it and a “salad.” Molly got this REALLY weird green puff ball, which looked like playdoh. It was a little weird. The biggest hit was the Pocky and Toppo sticks. Toppo’s are long pretzels w/ chocolate on the inside, and Pocky’s are the opposite. Also, Jeff had Koala bear biscuits, which were chocolate filled. Yummy! This morning we went to Oyumino, which is the Christian center for the Tokyo-Chiba MTW team. We met with some of the missionaries and had an orientation to prepare us for the week. I am excited to see the opportunities that God provides for us this week. We are doing well and are well rested after a long trip. Hope everyone is well in the US. Cheer on the Mavs! We are sad to miss the series! Ja Mata! Goodbye!

Really lovin’ the blog, checking the blog (very) often, really thankful that so far, Robert, we’re not asked to please pray that you find Cindy, (SO funny), gazing at all the pictures, especially the ones with Cindy in them! And oh – yeah – we’re praying a lot too!
Much love, Phyllis
Well, I am not surprised that Jeff had Koala Bear biscuits–makes him feel at home since living in the land down under–Australia. you guys keep up the good work and have fun…
Loved reading the blog! Looks like you are having a great time – hope it gets even better! It was fun seeing all the photos. Keep ‘em comin’!
Praise the Lord for your safe arrival, cast-iron stomachs (raw fish & airplanes were never meant to intermingle), as well as the gift of witnessing through kareoke. May you be salt & light in a lost world as the Lord works through you for his glory. know prayers are being lifted up for your safety, the potency of your message, and the changing of lives for Christ.
I loved looking at your pictures! Looks like ya’ll are having a great time! We are praying for you all! Be safe and have fun! Libby, Kamal and I both say hi, and we love you!

It is so exciting to read your updates and responses. Libby, I know you did not eat from the Japanese 7-11. You don’t even eat that food at home! I hope you all are doing well. I pray that you are extending the kingdom of our Lord.
You mission puts a smile on my face!
Love to all of you,
Mary Margaret
