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.

could it be Christmas time?
The kids are so excited for Christmas this year. Mihoko got a great bargan on a wooden Advent box calendar. The doors open to a deep box that can hold candy, money, scripture, or whatever we put in there. Each morning the kids wake to run into the front room to open that box for the day. It was Jane's turn and she was happy. We have a tree I got for $5.00 and I put up some lights around a window of our apartment. Thanks Dad for the lights. With the cold air mid to low 30's we are really feeling Christmas. In California, it only felt like Christmas when the decorations were up and the presents were under the tree. For me it was fudge and those chocolate covered cherries from Kmart/Walmart for a dollar.
We have just put up signs today announcing our new school opening. Pray that all goes well. I am a nervous wreck. You see a garage door is easy to work on and if there are problems you can call for technical support. In teaching ESL to young kids there is no hot line to call saying I have 3 five year olds unable to say, "My name is ______? How to you get them to stop saying Harow and say Hello? Have you seen the Youtube funny on the English lessons. There is a German ship hearing a distress call saying "Mayday, Mayday we are sinking and the ships German recruit says, Hello, What are you shinking about?" Too funny.
