Hello Everyone,
It's been a hot and humid summer! Laura got pneumonia and was in the hospital on antibiotics for 2 and 1/2 weeks. She's back to 100% now and feeling well. Thanks to all who prayed!
We took a trip to Nikko, which has a famous temple and waterfall. It was really beautiful! It's a 3-hour trip by train. We stayed at a Christian hostel. It was really nice and the people were so nice.
We went on a trip to Ishinomaki to help with the disaster by cleaning up an apartment complex - that was in June. Allen will go back to Ishinomaki this weekend. Laura will stay in Mito and attend her small school's sports festival and go to some singing concerts at the famous Mito art tower wth some of her English Bible Class readers.
We are so ready for fall to come and bring some more comfortable weather. But we are a little nervous as November approaches, which is is when we are to make our decision to stay another year or not. Please pray for us as we are still trying to decide which is better. Our minds just keep going back and forth as we weigh the advantages and disadvantages. But we are leaning towards one direction. We'll let you know our decision when when we make our minds up for sure.
Take care and God bless you all!
Love,
Allen and Laura
