Speedy September

September is rapidly disappearing and I feel an update is pretty much overdue!

Firstly, praise the Lord that Carl...(see post below) is recovering well and can testify to God`s goodness in his life! Awesome.

We are officially in Autumn now here in Japan. The cooler weather is testifying to that fact. Rice is being harvested at the moment....the fields look beautiful....each season has its own beauty. In spring the fields are flooded, so the water reflections are really pretty. In summer the rice is planted so the small shoots of green look really cool and it was cool watching their progress. Autumn the rice gets heavy on the stalks and bends the heads over. The fields are a beautiful golden colour. God is definitely a Master Artist!

Teaching is going well. Have had a few new faces in my classes which adds variety. Keep praying that our contacts with these people might be the start of a friendship leading to opportunities to share the gospel.

Had a recent surprise visit from Mami....my friend from Tokyo! It was lovely to be able to spend a week with her!

Not much else to blog about at present. Big hi to everyone who reads this. Thanks for the comments throughout this year, it is encouraging to know you guys are reading it :)

Blessings on you all.
