It’s good to be home! Thank you so much for praying for us. We are back in California after two weeks of SEND’s Candidate Orientation Program in Michigan. We’ve been back since Saturday and been enjoying the nice, mild, southern California weather. I’m quick to get used to nice things I have (like this weather) and forget to thank God for it, so going to Michigan was a good reminder of that. (This is Tomo writing by the way)
David is working full-time this week and getting many computer-fixing jobs too. He left his phone when we went to Michigan so we thought he might be losing business. When we got back, however, we found out that he didn’t get a single phone call for computer job while he was gone. But once we got back, he already has 4 or 5 jobs lined up! God knows our schedule so well, doesn’t He? Since David started working part-time in September, it’s been really amazing to experience how God provides just enough amount of jobs for us.
I’ve been working on several things for our support-raising since I got back such as updating contacts and getting newsletters ready. I also made an appointment with DMV to take a test for a permit, which I am very excited about. Last time I went to the DMV office for the test, first I was mistaken for a 16-year-old, then I was handed a Spanish booklet on driving rules, and then was rejected to take the test because of my immigration status. This time, I’m definitely prepared to clear the third obstacle. Hopefully I will look old enough and Asian enough too. I’ve never driven because Tokyo has a great public transportation system, so getting a driver’s license is going to be another exciting adventure for me (Probably a nerve-wrecking one on David’s part). Another item on our agenda is for me to get a part-time job so it’ll be easier for both of us to spend more time on support discovery. I am hoping to work at a child-care facility. Anyways, that was a little update on what we’ve been up to since we got back from freezing Michigan.
And here is an important prayer request: David’s grandma has been very ill since we got back. She’s in the hospital right now. Please pray for God’s sovereign hand on her and the whole family.
Thanks again for your prayers! Hope your week is going well.
