From Shuichi and Elaine

Here are some cool things from the church in Kinomoto, Biwako (our final week):

Shuichi says:

Dear Dene,

Time to work for God's Kngdom together is drawing near!! Within two months, you and the team of students will be in Kinomoto!! Please give warm regards to all the students in the team.

.

At the time of this financial crisis we are grateful for your sacrificial mission trip for the Japanese people. We pray God will bless your ministry in Japan.

We are eagerly looking forward to seeing you. ! God bless you richly.

Shuichi Kitamura.

Elaine says:

Internet usage: we are hoping to get our PC set up so that you can use it for email. Can't promise, but hoping! There are no Internet cafes near here as far as we have been able to find out so far.

Things to bring: It is good to have some photos, as it is a good talking point with the host families. Prints in a small album are best. Things like the student's family, the uni surrounds, church, Australian life and scenes, etc are all of interest.

We have two guitars (classical).
