Kieko, Akihito, Tuwako, and Mahiro
No, I am not in Japan! While in Slovakia, Abby and I were honored to live with a Japanese family who took us in and really made us feel at home. We had access to the internet, a bathroom the likes of which I have never before seen (going from an outhouse last month to a plush bathroom this month was a really pleasant shocker), and delicious meals cooked by our Japanese mama, Kieko. She is an amazing cook! We really enjoyed fellowship with them, and some of my favorite memories of the month will be the times we ate dinner together and talked for three hours or more about the Lord, sharing stories and things we were struggling with. Circumstances in the past month have been very hard for this family, but even though they don’t understand why things happened the way they did, they are choosing to trust God.
Here is a video that Abby made of the girls day we had with Mahiro and Tuwako while their parents got to have their own “fun day”. They are adorable!
