After a good Thanksgiving with family, we moved about half of our furniture out of our apartment as we prepare to leave. It can feel overwhelming at times to think that we are leaving so soon, but we are excited as well.
On Sunday we had the chance to be with two different churches in North Carolina. Some family friends also came to see us at our meeting on Sunday Night. Today, our pastor is doing a special training session with missionaries to prepare for Culture Shock. Tomorrow, I will be preaching at a Christian School and church in Indiana.
Also, thank you for your prayers for as I (James) had bronchitis. It has gotten much better and my voice is almost back to normal again.

From the News
Throughout our travels to different churches, we sometimes meet people who have had the chance to visit Japan for work (e.g. military personnel). One of the prevailing comments we receive is about streets in Japan being very clean. If you’re curious why that is, this article will help you know why Japan is, and isn’t, clean.
