The past few weeks have been hot, humid, and rainy, as it is currently the rainy season in Japan. We’ve been making good use of our standing fans, folding fans, air conditioner, popsicles, umbrellas, etc. to stay cool! Last week we hosted our last foreign guest (Logan’s brother Nick), making a total of 12 people who stayed at the ‘Foth Inn’ during our time in Japan! Hopefully the Japanese government isn’t getting suspicious about all the people who wrote down our address at Japanese immigration! :)
Everything here is beginning to feel very nostalgic. We’re often thinking to ourselves this is the last time we’ll eat this/see this person/be at this place. It’s going to be very sad saying goodbye to the home and many friends we’ve made here in the past year. Farewell parties have already begun - church members, English students, and friends are eager to take us out for sushi, okonomiyaki, and even sheep brains!!! We are so thankful for the many wonderful people we have met here.
This week, the ACTION team from MB Mission will be joining us for one of our teaching days. We are looking forward to meeting this group of 5 Canadian, college-aged students and hope to encourage them as they serve in Japan for one month.
We only have four English-teaching days left at Osaka Bible Church - our last day is July 28th! Please pray that the English ministry would be able to continue at OBC after we leave and that more Japanese people would learn the Gospel message through OBC in the future.
Regarding our budget, thank you so much to those of you who have contributed toward this ministry in Japan. Currently, we are still in need of additional funding and are trusting that God will provide all of our needs (like He always does!)

We would appreciate your prayers as we say goodbye to Japan and prepare to move back to Saskatchewan. We will be back in Saskatoon (Lord willing) on August 11th. We are so thankful that God has provided each of us with jobs back home. Logan will be returning to his position at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and I will be beginning my teaching career at Hague High School! Please pray that we will quickly find a home to live in (we don’t want to overstay our welcome in our parents’ basements!)
Blessings to you today!
Thank you for taking an interest in what has been going on here recently.
