Last Night in Canada


Wednesday marks my final night in Canada for a long time (probably). My mom invited my older bro Ash and his wife Nancy and their two sons, Myles and Damon, over for dinner. It was a great combination of homemade pizza (not by me, but my mom - I am her apprentice, you might say) and ice cream cake. I got to have a final few minutes of playing with my nephews, chatting with my siblings, and now I am hanging out with my mom until bed time. It has truly been a blessed time here in Canada (and even my time in the States was pretty good). God has showed me a lot, blessed me a ton, and given me lots of rest. I am really excited to be coming back to Japan, and starting a new work in Hokkaido, but I am also so thankful for all the precious moments I have spent with everyone here. This trip back to the homeland has been quite possibly the best one I have ever had. Thank you Lord for Your protection, provision, and providence.

By the way, I don't have any pics of me with both my nephews, but my bro took a few so hopefully I'll get some from him one of these days!

今日はカナダの滞在の最後の一日になりました。起きてからお母さんとおしゃべりして、ランチは8歳の頃からの大親友のRickさんと外食してからRickの家に戻っておしゃべりしました。お母さんの家に戻ってから手作りピザ(お母さん製)やアイスクリームケーキを食べました。お兄さん家も来てくれて、甥っ子との最後の遊びの時間、兄弟との最後のおしゃべりの時間、またお母さんとの最後の時間になるけど、本当に今回の滞在は今までの中のベストだ。たくさんの人との再会、たくさんのイベントの参加、たくさんの美味しい物を食べた!いつまた里帰りできるかはわからないけど、早いうちにまた甥っ子と遊んであげたいのでどうにかその機会が与えられたら感謝します!

ちなみに、2人の甥っ子との写真は撮ってなかったけどお兄さんはけっこう撮ってくれたので、いつかその写真を送ってもらって載せるね!神様に感謝でいっぱいです。これから日本に戻って、神様の福音を伝えて行きます!祈ってくださいね!
