D-Day

Today is departure day.

The kids are sleeping and Megumi and I are doing the last bit of packing. We have anticipated this day for the last few months, and it has finally arrived. We would not have arrived to this day without the grace of our Heavenly Father, who has bestowed upon us one blessing after another. We would not have arrived to this day without the love and support of our family and friends. All of whom, have showed up at our place or in our midst to share themselves with us. We had three families show up at our townhome today to help us clean up, pray over us, and send us off. We were invited to dinner (again) with another family...We have been showered with kindness...

Please pray for a restful flight - our children outnumber us and can be a HANDFUL!

We love all of you!
