Introducing our labeling machine! (from Facebook)

After a few weeks hiatus, a group of us got together today to get things ready at our ministry center. We received a few boxes of Christian literature from Kabe Greenhill Chapel in Hiroshima when the Ogawa's came for our Dedication Service. I also got a couple of boxes of English kids books from someone in a city close by who was getting rid of her books. We also had books at home in Peter's office that we had taken over so we had a lot of literature that needed to be stamped with our ministry center’s name. From our last round of stamping, we found out that stamps don’t work for some of the books so I bought a labeling machine. It came in so useful today!

Nao and Etsuko-san became experts at using the labeling machine and made lots of cute little labels! They even figured out how to save them - yay! We used up a whole roll this morning so I had to go get more. Little K helped us too! He helped us "stick" labels on everything including the game boxes. I love it when he calls me! “Auntie Jenny~” My heart becomes happy every time he calls me. 

Stamping piles of a variety of literature. Thank you Ogawa-san and Pastor Kitano and everyone at Kabe Chapel for the Bibles and Christian books! Etsuko-san bought us these caps to keep unwanted creepy crawlies from crawling into our house through the AC hoses. No cockroaches please!!!

Our three had helped so much during the past few days by moving everything from Peter’s office at our house to his new office at the ministry center. Still a lot of sorting to do, but we’re thankful that things are moving forward little by little.

Tomorrow morning we’ll be stamping and labeling more books! Peter will be getting his office ready, and hopefully, I’ll be able to work on getting my office ready too.

Typhoon season (from Facebook)

It’s typhoon season here and the last one was pretty loud, but as usual, we thankfully didn’t suffer any serious damage. Thank You, God!

A few years ago the bikes we usually keep in front of our door toppled over during the typhoon blocking our door making it kinda hard for us to get out. Thankfully, Juhee remembered this just as the winds were really picking up and so we laid them down by the side of the house like we usually do when we get severe typhoon warnings. One of the shades that we have on the outside of the house was blown away so Sungjae biked around the neighborhood looking for it. All three kids helped with the clean-up after and did a bit of overdue gardening too.

I went to our ministry center today and noticed that one of the big trees by the stone torii gate next to us had fallen. Such a shame :(

Getting ready to do some gardening/clean-up. Need to protect yourself from mosquitoes and big spiders that just come out of nowhere you know! All three kids helped with the cleaning and Sungjae went off to find the blinds/shades that were completely blown away. The big fallen tree :(
