We had a Tako-Yaki night last week with some of the families from the English school, and just relaxed and got to know everyone better. It was a really fun and filling night! We made 100 plus that night!

We celebrated Pastor Tim's birthday today (the 15th)! Ayu made him a birthday cake and him and his sons blew out the candles (his kids LOVE blowing out birthday candles!). Happy Birthday Tim!
We don't have much going on this month ministry and event-wise, just a few new English classes.
Elena will turn 3 months old this Friday, which in Japan is when they celebrate the 100th day of birth. So we plan on trying to get some good pictures of her and all three of us.
We don't know what this year will hold, but we know God is going to do something. We both feel something is going to happen, whether it's a new vision to serve Him in, new steps of faith, or growth here where we are at. We are praying a lot, especially about being able to make it to the states this summer. There's a lot of things we both feel we need to do in that time there.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Elena is growing fast, and is already so responsive and alert. We really want to raise her wisely and well, and enjoy every moment with her.
Please prayer for:
-continued growth in Japanese
-wisdom in finances and saving
-guiding of Holy Spirit in our every day life and choices
-grace and wisdom and leading for women's study and Eder teaching in Japanese on Wednesday nights every other week
God bless your new year, may He fill it even more with His love and grace than last year.
