Writer's Cramp

So, apart from the millions of letters I wrote this week (and I do mean millions), and running for copies and to Japanese class (include studying here) and cleaning my granny-ma's house and doing my report and making phone calls and writing more letters, I had a few moments to kick back on the computer and take a few fun quizzes...

... in which I end up with Mr. Darcy out of all the Jane Austen books (of course! but, I might take Captain Wentworth as my back-up), find out I'm destined to have four children (not with Mr. Darcy), discover I'm worth 200 camels, and end up in New Jersey.

I disagree.

As you may have guessed, it's been a busy week for me. I've been preparing for a supporter event in October, preparing for a garage sale in mid September, preparing for meetings (and talking with the people over in Japan!) and all the while- realizing that I'm visiting Mexico NEXT week.

One of the cool things that I got to do this week is go over to a couple in our church's house and meet with them. He had studied Japanese and was in the marines and stationed in Okinawa some 30 years ago. So, he passed on to me first- a very cool Japanese Bible, Kanji memorization cards, a Japanese dictionary and other books for learning Japanese! I was pretty excited about it. We talked about Japan, the vision, our experiences there... it was a very enjoyable evening.

So, yes, next week I am visiting Mexico- to see everyone and how they're doing. I figure this is really one of the last times that I get to visit before I move to Japan, because after that, I don't think that I'll get to be visiting there much. The kids are pretty excited and I'm ready to see them after so long.

Pastor Debbie said something on Sunday which I've been thinking about... purity, simplicity and authenticity. Those words just sound so good, don't they? They should be the words that describe our lives... Hmm...

Anyway, I'm going to finish that report of mine so I can get busy to another full day of work tomorrow...
