Trip to Aunt Emikos Home in Gotemba near Fuji San

Mihoko's Aunt Emiko invited us months ago to go to their home in Gotemba. Go what bah? Well, we didn't know what all the fuss was about until we were obliged to follow through on a promise. I must admit I have a full plate of to-do's but God had other plans. Aunt Emiko, she made the arrangements and we had to go. I went moping...grumbling. God we have so much to do...Gotemba now? Okay I'll go. WOW this place rocked. Gotemba is a community at the foot of Mount Fuji that many famous people in Japan live and play. There is so much to do here. We went to a monkey show, saw caves, went to a wild animal park and the hippo smiled for the picutre, we went to an open air Coed (Swimsuit required) Hot Springs (Onsen). It was fun and the best part is that this time of the year is excellent for clear weather and seeing Mount Fuji. A lot of the time it is covered in clouds but our two days was beautiful and picture perfect. God gave us a time to relax and not stress about the ministry and just kick back. Aunt Emi was treating us to many blessings. Thank you Aunt Emi God bless you. We are praying that you will believe in Jesus.
