I am returning to Japan in January!  I'm excited and nervous, ready to go yesterday and also sad about leaving home again.  I wish I could take a couple of good friends, some food I can't easily get overseas (the list would be too long to list here), maybe central heating- okay, really central heating- but, I'm glad to be returning to the ministry and call that God has placed in my life.  A new term, and new places and people!  Christmas at home in Canada- no small blessing, and two months of preparation time before I leave.  Good deal! 

I will be heading to Tokyo (my first time ever in the city I was actually born in.)  I'm praying for some final practical things to come together and if you think of it, would you pray for a good apartment for me to live?  A place that I could easily invite others into, and a place that I could call home.
