Japan Spiritual Retreat 2006

This week was the Spiritual Retreat for Southern Baptist missionaries in Japan. For three days, we prayed, fellowshipped, studied God's word, worshipped, and renewed ourselves for ministry for 2006. Meeting missionaries serving all over Japan was great, especially hanging out with the three other Journeymen. I also adored being all around the missionary kids, or MKs. And it snowed!! Somehow having snow makes the cold weather so much more bearable!

Here's the beautiful snow and the beautiful mountains! You can see the snow falling! Here's the Japan Journeyman!!! Rachel in Yokohama, me in Osaka, Elizabeth in Nagoya, and Eileen in Yokohama! Those are snowflakes falling in front of my camera. I have never taken pictures before in the falling snow, but, as you can see, snowflakes get in the picture.

Sweet MKs performing a music program at the end of the week. Three of the older MKs...The third one, Hannah, is my neighbor. And Zachary, a MK...Check out his adorable expression!
