letters from "home"

Wherever we are NOT seems to tug at our hearts, maybe that is what it is like to have a HOME in 2 different continents.

We just got letters from our missionary friends. At their yearly conference a few weeks ago, they took time to write us. They tell us they are praying that we'll be refreshed and that they miss us on the field. Usually we are the ones writing those notes of encouragement to fellow workers on home assignment. This year, we are on the receiving end. We are encouraged and reminded by those back in Japan who have become much more than just co-workers after 13+ years, they feel more like "family".
