After a long (the fourteen hour non-stop flight to Tokyo was a new personal record for me) but uneventful journey, we arrived in Hikari, Japan. We are renting this little studio apartment (by little, I mean 15’x15’ total) which is very “cozy” but very adequate. Today we spent the morning recovering from our travels and getting all of our stuff situated. In the afternoon, we did some orientation and saw some of the more important places in town (bank, grocery store, gas station, etc). Hikari is a small town of about fifty-five thousand situated on the eastern side of Yamaguchi Province right along the ocean. We will be doing all of our travel around town by bicycle, which is proving to be a little bit of a coordination challenge for Theresa, as she never had a lot of practice on one.

We would appreciate your prayers as we make the adjustment to a new schedule as well as try to figure out where & how to get all of the things we need.
