Since then...

(#1 Husband & Dad Wataru)

Okay, now Luke and I are back in Japan. We decided to surprise Wataru for his 50th birthday. Luke and I flew back on the 20th of September and his birthday is the 21st. He had no idea! We had a friend pick us up at the bus station and when we walked in the front door Wataru came down the stairs and was shocked! It was a nice surprise.

Since our support has been low, Wataru realized he needed to work for extra income so in October he started working as a translator/hall monitor/serving lunches, etc. at a elementary school.

He translates for the ALT teachers and does whatever the school asked him to.

So October 3rd he started his job for six months and God blessed us with some extra funds to send Luke to kindergarten on October 10th for six months. Wataru loves his job and Luke loves his class. I will upload some great videos later. We have also been praying and seeking God for our move to America. We have applied for Watarus' visa to come and live in America. We are excited to see what God has for us next.
