Adullam in Kobe

This is the church group I have been worshiping with here in Kobe. A very tight-knit group, filled with love and a desire to worship the Lord with all their hearts.

神戸でこのグループと主を賛美しています。みんなが親切で、心を尽くして神様を拝んでいます。

Sweet Reunion

神戸市へ移住して１週間も経っていない内に、沖縄からの親友に会う事ができました。今年の春に結婚したロバートさんと愛妻の梨香さんが、愛媛県の帰りに、神戸に来ました。一緒に食事ができて、本当に良かったです。ロバートともっと会いたくなりましたが、神様の恵みによって、ゆっくり話せて嬉しかったです。これからもワンダーリッチご夫妻の幸せを祈っています。


Within a week of moving to Kobe, I was able to meet up with one of my close friends from Okinawa. Robby and his lovely wife Rika were on their way back to Okinawa from Ehime. They flew out of Kobe Airport, so Yumi and I decided to meet them at Sannomiya and have lunch together. It was a short visit, and made me want to have Rob nearer to me here, but I was so blessed by God's grace. I will continue to pray for happiness and blessings upon the Wunderliches.

New Apartment

Well, it's been a long time since I have put anything up here. Finally, I have regular Internet access and a bit of time (for the next day, then I start work), so I suppose I can share a bit of what is happening. It has been 6 weeks since I moved to Kobe now. Wow! It is HOT here... hotter than Okinawa, in the summer, even! But I think things will start to cool down a little in September, and will be comfortably warm come October. Can't wait! Anyways, here's a shot of my new apartment building. It's really small -- 6 suites in all -- and is situated next to the highest-ranked (academically) high school in all of Japan. No, I will not be working there come September -- my school's a few kilometers down the road and a steep bus ride up the mountain from where I live. Anyways, this apartment is temporary housing for me -- I am hoping to move into something a little more comfortable (fit for two, for sure) in the spring.



久しぶりです。神戸へ引っ越しして６週間くらいになっていますが、昨日はやっとインターネットがつながりました。神戸は、一言でいうと、暑い！沖縄よりも暑い！でも、あと１ヶ月くらいで少し涼しくなりそうです。もう、夏はいい！早く秋になってほしい！（実は、早く春になってほしいけどねぇ。。。）この写真は、僕のアパートです。比較的に小さい建物ですが、すぐ側には、日本一の高校です。今度、僕が勤める高校ではありません。それは、ここから数キロ離れています。今のアパートはとにかく一時的です。春になったら、もっと快適な（２人用の）アパートに引っ越しする予定です。
