Saturday was our monthly bilingual ladies Bible study.  We had a good study based on a lesson from Claudia Barba’s book When Christ Was Here.  Kim taught on Peter’s failure and what we can learn from it.  It was a blessing to her to hear two ladies talking about the lesson the next day at church.  God is working in the hearts of the ladies here and it is such an encouragement to see them growing.

Many of you prayed for Tim’s parents as they returned to Japan this past weekend.  Their trip went well and they are now recovering from jet lag.  The pandemic policies are constantly changing.  We really didn’t know what to expect when they entered the country.  Because they have had three vaccinations and they had a negative test before departure and a negative test upon arrival, no quarantine was required!!!  This is so encouraging.  It is a sign that Japan might start to loosen its borders a little.  There are missionaries ready to enter as soon as they are able to receive a visa.

Thank you for your prayers for us and the ministry here in Japan.  It means more to us than words can say.
