Welcome !

Come on along with me as I make my fourth trip to Japan! Only three weeks till my departure date and lots of things to do before then. Friday, November 14 is my last day at Cotee River and I'm hoping lots of my friends there will follow along with my adventures and keep me up to date on what they're doing while I'm away.

Please feel free to leave me a message in the comments section or send me an email directly. I will still be sending out periodic letters to my supporters and to my band of prayer warriors. This blog is a place where I can record day to day happenings and send out pictures of what I'm seeing and doing. I hope you'll find it enjoyable.

The path you see in this picture is the way from the church (The Chapel of Adoration) to the OMF International Japan Headquarters building and the Guest Home where I'll be working. This picure was taken in 2004 when I was there last, so no doubt there have been changes. That's always one of the difficult things going back to a place where you have spent signifigant time. Things change, people change, buildings come down and others go up. I'm fortunate to have a core group of friends and coworkers to return to in this instance. It won't take long to get used to the other things that are different now.

So, come along, be sure you have your good walking shoes and open your mind to new sights, new sounds, new tastes. Japan, here we come!
