We returned to Waterford, Mi. This is my mother's place of birth. Even though my real 'home town' is Matsumoto, Japan, my 'home town' in the States is Waterford.
Dec. 18th, we met the Mr. & Mrs. Movius. They often pray for us.
Then we had lunch with the Gibsons. Five years ago, they let us stay in their home for 2 weeks, he was our children's doctor and she took Naho shopping at Costco (and payed the bill).
The 19th, Naho enjoyed shopping at Great Lakes Mall and then we all enjoyed the rides afterwards.
We 'walked through Bethlehem' with the Johns (above left) at Waterford Church and then enjoyed some steak with them.
The 20th, we enjoyed worship at Marimont Church with the Terbushes- our gracious hosts. We were also able to share our ministry in Japan with one of the adult Bible classes. 
We also enjoyed a special time with the Powells our relatives. Uncle Ernie and Aunt Ann (above), Susie and Sean and also Pattie, Todd and family. In the past, the Powells graciously let me stays with them for nearly 3 years. Thanks!
