Fig is an acrostic for Faith in God from Mark 11:22. We as missionaries living in Japan enjoy our FIG in Japanese or In Nihon Go (ING). Here we are figing away in a beautiful country Japan. This started out as a place for family to get updates and pictures but now this goes all over the world. Praise God. May you be blessed as you read my posts. Some funny, some sad, & some really stupid and embarrassing for my family.

Jane's 4th Birthday Party
Hey guys kids on the mission field are the greatest ways to get to know your neighbors and hang out with them. For the last two weeks we have been going daily to a park in our complex area and just hanging out loving on the kids. We met some mom's and they are skeptical about us. We had originally invited them to come in to our apartment but that was a little frightening for some and they backed out. So we did it at the park and it was wonderful. As the party went on more kids and mom's came out of the wood work to just hang and have fun. This week we had brought some of the mom's food from Grace Christian Fellowships outreach to the community. They are receiving food from a big chain store and so we just passed it along to the mom's. They are really getting to know us and they are happy to see us. Pray we can build the relationships and offer them ESL classes but most of all tell them about Jesus. Travis guys came out and blessed us with some birthday cakes and fun things to do. I twisted some balloons and Travis had them doing pop streamers. He also did face painting. The balloons were a hit and we are sure that next time it will be a great time with many more coming out. We are praying now about renting out the club house and having a Christmas party in December. Pray along with us.
