Thank You Cards
It's been over 2 months since our wedding and we haven't gotten our thank you cards out yet to everybody who has given gifts. How disgraceful! It's one of those things which are easy to put off I guess. They are mostly written out we just have to finish them and post them all. Our goal is to do that this week. So if you gave us a gift, heads up!!
Tamara's Visa Application
Boy, there was so much involved with that. We finally got all the paperwork to my parents this week, who submitted it to the Japanese immigration office on Monday. We're really hoping that Tamara well get her visa by September, but there's no way of telling when they will finish. So please pray!
David's Job
I've been looking for a job in Japan through different job search sites but I'm getting a lot of no's back. I'm hoping it's because I'm not in Japan at the moment and that it will be easier once I get to Japan. I just have to keep giving it back to God and find peace in the fact that he's in control and will provide for our needs.
Our House
We had the amazing blessing of having friends offer a house for us to rent in Tokyo at a very economical rate, but recently they found rot in the walls which calls for repairs. This puts a financial burden on them and a strain on the offer.
We have had two housing offers here in Canada this summer which were taken back at the last minute, and this is starting to look like the third in an unfortunate theme. The bright side is that if this is an attack of the enemy, then we're doing something right =). Please pray that God will overcome our obstacles and fulfill our need for a place to live, however he might have that work. Pray specifically for my parents too who are kindly negotiating in person on my behalf with the owners.
The major theme here obviously is Japan =). Tamara says I'm starting to think and talk more in a Japanese mindset than a Canadian mindset now. I must be excited. Woohoo!!
