Our oldest son got his braces last December and since we were delayed this summer our middle son was able to get his put on recently as well. We had heard from other missionary friends that is is cheaper to start the process here in the US and then follow up in Japan where braces are very rare and expensive. Our othodontist here was even able to find someone in our area of Tokyo that will hopefully continue with the same treatment as he started. It gets a bit confusing trying to do this bi-continentally, but God, yet again, is providing for our family and we want to give Him thanks and praise!

Another blessing of home assignment is having the chance to get in to see an American orthodontist. All along we've wondered how we would be able to pay for needed braces, but God has graciously supplied for our teen and soon-to-be teen boys.Our oldest son got his braces last December and since we were delayed this summer our middle son was able to get his put on recently as well.
