Time Flies

Of course so much has happened since our last entry:

Power outage in LA from Saturday to Monday, the day we left. Kids had a great time playing with the Kim's three boys, putting up a tent in the living room (and sleeping in it), playing hide and seek with flashlights...we made some great memories.

On Sunday, Matt and Helen's pastor graciously invited us to share about Japan for a few moments at University Presbyterian Church (http://www.upcla.org/). It's right next to the UCLA campus, and has, of course, lots of students. Great service, great energy, great heart for the Lord. Had a very good conversation with a Japanese student who was a very interested seeker.

On to Dallas without much incident. We stayed with Daniel and LeeAnn Young for a few days, and they were great and gracious hosts. Even gave us their bedroom, which was so very comfortable. Daniel is the pastor of NSD (New Song Dallas: http://www.nsdchurch.typepad.com/nsdchurch/ ), which is kinda sorta a descendant from Living Word, our old church. But then again, so much has changed and so much time has passed; NSD has carved out its own identity.

We were in Dallas for the Big Snow of 2010, where over 13 inches fell in one day. Pretty cool. We also stayed a few days with our dear friend, Melissa. Saw lots of people that are precious to us, great time in Dallas.

Now we are in Bham, and meeting lots more. Tiring, but fun to reconnect. Tomorrow is dentist day, and we're not looking forward to it, but such is the life of a missionary when he comes back to the US.
