On Thursday, we get the keys to the church location! We are excited that this process took only about a month. Thank you for praying throughout this process. Now we are on track for a launch in December (12/12). Please be praying with us as we prepare do begin pre-launch work.
On a personal note, we went back to Niigata for a few days to handle paperwork. In Japan, you need to let the city you are moving out of know that you are leaving. When you move into your new city, you also let them know that you moved in. We are now in the middle of this process since our apartment will be ready for us at the end of next week.
