After spending a few days in the Tokyo area we’re now in down on the coast of Iwate working with Tomo’s parents to offer support and care to thousands of people who are still basically homeless nearly two and a half years after the disaster.
You may have heard that there was an earthquake here yesterday. I was a little surprised that it made the news, as it didn’t really feel any bigger than the usual quakes we get here (it seems we get at least one or two a month). But it was a little scary just because we happened to be at a worship service that was being held in a portable building in the disaster area about 200 yards from the coast.
We had a little car trouble last week and had to leave the car in the shop instead of driving down to the Tokyo area as planned. However God provided and the shop that we purchased the car from did the repairs for free since we got it just a few months ago. We picked it up in Morioka and then drove 2 hours down to Tomo’s parents house on the coast without any issues. Praise God!
