SATURDAY

Our first Saturday here was spent adventuring for the beginning of the day, and ended with a four course meal at the brand new Hilton Hotel off base.  Arthur worked for a couple hours in the morning, as I decorated for Christmas and cleaned up our room.  After Arthur got off work, we walked off base to look for some food.  We stopped at a cute little bakery and bought a couple pastries, and then found a little Japanese restaurant.  It was such a nice day, and Okinawa is such a great place.

 After we ate, we walked back to base and bought cell phones!  The phones are classic flip phones because iPhones for two people would have been $160 per month.  We went with phones that are only $7 a month..



 We went back home and got ready for the American Chamber of Commerce Christmas Ball.  Jacqueline picked us up and we were on our way! It was very fancy and we met a lot of cool people.

It was a great day that went by oh so quickly... I have a feeling most of our days will fly by here...

After spending a few days in Tokyo, they flew down south to Japan’s “Hawaii”.      I’ll have you know, we checked the forecast the day they were arriving and it said rain for the next 6 days (the length of time they were here for). With lots of prayers, I’m so thankful to say that the weather was amazing the whole time they were here! It was sunny and warm and perfect. Thank you Jesus!   Arthur and I met Derek and Katie at the airport, only to be greeted with what I would picture as the Japanese version of them. They walked off with facemasks on and if it weren’t for their height, I may have mistaken them for true Japanese! ;) (see video below) They were s...

PURE JOY

Well, the moment almost every woman waits for in her life occurred for me at the beginning of this month. No, it wasn't getting my license.  No, it was not graduation high school.   No, it was not turning 21.   No, it was not graduating college.
