WELL...

We are walking out the door for the airport and America bound we are.  Amazing to think the time has finally come to return home.

We are a swell of emotions, both excited and a bit sad to be leaving, but we know the Lord is putting good things before us.  

Please keep checking this blog (if you are a follower), for I will make every attempt to continue to update regardless of our location.

Sending love!  Sayonara!!!!

Team party and sendoff...

On Friday we had our team party.  Our final goodbye to team and staff...

This is Wara, his wife Noriko, and kids Karin and Lintaro.  Wara was team captain this year and a 6 year veteran of the league.  They became very good friends of ours, and we hope to see them again...
