Well my friends, we made it! After being awake for over 24 hours Josh and I finally made it to Edmonton. Upon arrival at the airport we were picked up by our dear CLBI friends Andrew, Kara, and Andrea, and then immediately went to Sherwood park to watch CLBI's easter choir and drama performance. It was one of the best I have seen to this day.

For the last couple days in Japan Josh and I spent time with Cliff and Marg in Tokyo. Having completed our goals on the construction projects in Karuizawa, we felt like we could really relax and enjoy the remainder of our time in Beautiful Japan. One evening we went to see the Tokyo symphony orchestra in Suntory music hall. We celebrated Marg's 65th birthday at a Japanese home in typical Japanese style, and we spent a day in Yokohama with Cliff seeing the sights and eating ice cream (fantastic stuff I might add). Overall our trip was a huge success, and I am convinced that it wouldn't have been, had we not had the prayers of possibly hundreds of people backing us. Here are just a few of the many answered prayers: Josh an I are still friends (probably better than ever), We were able to play a big part in leading a fellow Canadian to the Lord (who knew that God would send us to japan to minister to someone who lives in the same country as us?) We were able to bless Cliff and Marg both through the work we did, and through Just really enjoying each others company (I stick with my verdict: they are much younger than they look) Finally, we thank God so much for those of you who sent us on our way entrusting us with your finances, We feel so blessed and loved by you our church families!

In closing, Josh and I will each be giving a presentation at our home churches within the next few weeks. Thank all of you again for showing an interest in our ministry.

God Bless You!
