Hitachinaka Happenings
We are unshaken in Japan! Japan has made the news again, and the latest earthquake has resulted in this sooner-than-intended prayer update. We live on the east coast of Honshu, 300 km from the epicenter of the Japan earthquake that you likely saw on the news. It was bad, but we experienced only a long rocking sensation (think being in a canoe), which indicated a really big earthquake not so nearby. This time, it was not under our house. Thanks…

We dreaded a summer of weeds in the backyard and our garden on the edge of the subdivision, but our neighbour took it upon himself to do some spraying for us. We were sad to leave elderly parents, daughters Julia and Tess and her husband Jacob, as well as, new grandbaby Raphael Amos Winter, born September 13 in Toronto. Tess and Jacob live close to…
