Returned From America

First, thanks to everyone we had a chance to see in America. Well we are back in Japan and this will be just a short note. One of Kazumi's student's mothers, who had been battling cancer, died the day we returned. The woman had been a head nurse at a hospital, she is survived by her 6 year old daughter who studies in our home.
We did not share this in many circles but Kazumi's father has cancer and had his voice box removed while we where in America and will no longer be able to speak. The type of cancer he has is very aggressive with an 80% death rate within 5 years. Kazumi's father is not a Christian nor the family of the mother who died this past week.
Pray for the gospel to move forward in Japan to give hope to the hopeless and eternal life to those facing death.
