We are here! We arrived at 12:45pm, Tokyo Time, which would be 10:45pm (CST). We arrived on a wet Narita runway. The landing was quite interesting. At first, we had a nice smooth landing, but then we had slam on the breaks (or that’s what it felt like). Anyway, it was great flight… no harm done. I (Brian), actually took part in the eating of sushi on the plane. For those that know me, I’ve never been a fan of sushi… the rest of the team got a chance to giggle at my chopstick skills. Anne, Cindy, and Haley were the only ones to get some sleep on the flight. The rest of us… well, as you can tell by this post, NO SLEEP! Oh well. We are now at the hotel and preparing to head over to the IMPACT meeting at the university. Well gotta go. Saoynara! (sp?) Pictures to come…
Konichiwa (sp?)… Hello, we are now in Japan

I am so glad you made it! I hope you have a great first day. I am not even going to attempt to figure out what time it is in Japan.
Good luck in your work there. We are praying that you will have a safe, successful trip.
I didn’t even know what a blog was until today. See, you have expanded my boundaries too.
Can’t wait for more news.

So glad you got there in one piece, especially after eating SUSHI — my little boy is growing up! (By the way, it might be Sayonara). You tell me.
Don’t worry, I recorded the game. I pray God will open the hearts of those that y’all minister to. Enjoy the experience.
Love, Mom and Dad
Brian,
Easy on the sushi, buddy. Gotta stay healthy in a foreign land. We’re praying for you guys…
As I’m sure you know, Mavs won game one without playing very well. Things are looking good for Dallas.

Ohaio Gozaimasu! Indeed, our prayers go with you. Please give our regards to the faithful in Nihon: Iversons and other missionaries, IMPACT staff, and our dear brothers and sisters in Christ at Chiba Dei. Being a techy, I look forward to keeping up w/ the blog. More pictures, please!
Be sure to give the squid jerky a try. You really haven’t been to Japan unless you’ve tried it.
Ja mata.
GLAD to hear you made it! Prayer list and calendar have been distributed…and we are praying.
Christy’s water broke about 2 hours ago…looks like we’ll deliver late this afternoon! pictures to follow

I am so glad that all of you arrived safely in Japan! I will be praying for physical strength as you adjust to the time change, patience as you interact with each other, unity as a team, and boldness to share the Gospel. May the Lord use you in amazing ways for His glory!
Very brave Brian. You’re a good man to step out and try the plane sushi. I probably would have opted for the “snack pack” that is a popular airline purchase that includes a mystery sausage. Glad you’re there safely.
We are so thankful you made it safely. We have forwarded info to all the family and friends and many are praying for you. Take care. Thanks for the pictures!
Love, Mom
Glad everyone made it safe and sound. May God go before you as you share the gospel of what Christ means in each of your lives. May your lifestye and verbage show that you a Christ”s .
God Bless
