Rejoice with us that God has provided a house for us in Japan — both larger and cheaper (for what we’re getting) than we’d hoped!  We have seen floor plans and will hopefully see pictures within the next few days.  God knows what we need and certainly takes care of even the smallest detail — the staff member who’s been searching for us said that it has a lot of windows and great natural light, which is a BIG thing for me.

We can hardly believe there is an actual place waiting for us now. :)  We are so grateful and humbled to have a God who loves us deeply and friends who would do so much on our behalf, searching for the “perfect” place rather than just going with whatever came up first.  We are blessed.
