After 15 hours on the plane, we've arrived in Japan. We were greeted at the airport by Jon Pfeil, NCCC missionary and our host for the week, and rode the train to Chiba, about an hour from Tokyo. Jon and his wife, Sarah, live in a nice house about five minutes from the train station. We enjoyed a nice meal and an evening of fellowship while we struggled to fight the effects of jet lag. Joining us for the evening was another MTW missionary, Isaac. They shared with us interesting aspects of planting churches and ministering in Japan, and some of what we can expect during this week.
Other highlights of the day included Marc getting double vision after taking a sleeping pill, and receiving a tutorial on Japanese appliances we're hoping to use without embarassment. We're heading to bed early tonight for church tomorrow and the day ahead of us. We feel blessed to be a part of this trip, and are thankful to all who have been praying for us!

Thanks for the pictures and notes about your trip. Make sure somebody takes a picture with you in it too! We're with Nellie and John this weekend. We had a nice time at the wedding & reception last night(Lindsay Sannes) and we enjoyed hiking in the Nichols arboretum today. We love you; have a great time!

Tell Marc that the Reds split a day-night double header with the Mets. Belisle got beat up in the first game. Arroyo went 8 innings with only 1 run in the second to win 7-1. Keppinger went 5-5.
Peter, thanks for keeping us all posted. Tell Aaron that I gave this site to his girlfriend.

Very cool, Peter! Thanks for creating this blog and allowing us to get a better view of one of the many ways God is working in Japan. God bless!
