Konichiwa^^

So I know it's been awhile since my last post. So recently I'm really excited because I have a really awesome return visit turned Bible study. I've been in this territory for about a year and it took me awhile until I could find a decent and steady return visit. It's a woman who is from Oklahoma. She has an interest in the Bible and we text often as well. I left her a magazine and the next time I visited her she had marked it all. And then she asked me a question regarding our Bible translation. So I asked if I could come back and consider with her more about it and she agreed. She's engaged to a man from Bangladesh. They met here in Korea.
This month we went to Tokyo, Japan to get my spousal visa. We had been doing a lot of preparing and praying too. Jehovah really took care of us. He helped us to find a great couple that hosted us in their home. And they really helped us a lot to get around. They even took us to Bethel. Jehovah's organization is truly united and full of love. It turns out the first time I planned to go to Osaka, Japan I was looking for a place to stay. So I asked a sister from Australia to ask her friends in Japan. The friends she asked was this couple. And they asked a friend of theirs who asked the couple who I stayed with in Osaka. [Confusing, I know;)]  Only in Jehovah's organization. Best part of all of course was we got the visa!! My husband was so relieved, me as well. Our trip was a success!!
Being in Tokyo made my husband and I feel like we were on a second honeymoon. We had a lot of fun, spending whole days together and touring the city together, finding our way around crowded and confusing subways, having sore feet and blisters together, being complete tourists together.
