Although last month (especially the last half) was extremely busy, we were able to get a little R and R this past weekend. We went to Nagano city where the 1998 Winter Olympics were held.
During our stay, we were greatly encouraged by our visit to Nagano Baptist Church. This church has sent out missionaries to China as well as another part of Japan. The pastor was also very friendly and we found out we had various connections as we talked over lunch. The church has been there for about thirty years now.
Rosie starts back school this coming Thursday so please continue to pray for her learning. We also begin a new sermon series this coming Sunday at the new church plant. Prayers appreciated!

How much do you think a Tuna fish can sell for? You might think that it isn’t much because a can of tuna can be pretty cheap. SA recent Japanese auction fetched a pretty penny for a fish. Make your best guess and then read this article for the answer.
