Bye Bye, Tamaki

We had a goodbye party last night for Tamaki. She is going to Australia with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and will be doing missions outside of Japan for six months. Tamaki has been a Christian for several years and this is her second time to do missions through YWAM. We are going to miss Tamaki while she's gone!! Here's my new Journeyman partner/roommate, Liz Welsch!! She's been in Osaka for one week and I am so thankful God has brought her here! Next to Liz is Saya! Here's Yumi and Erika!! Notice the Pizza Hut box...two large pizza costs over $50!!! I'm not ordering delivery too often. A prayer for Tamaki as she serves Christ in another country..."We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints-the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth." Colossians 1:3-6
