David's Parents Visit

The last part of the month of July, David's parents came to visit us in Shimonoseki. This was a much anticipated visit and perfect timing because we had just finished our classes for the semester. We praise the Lord for safe travels and that we were all healthy.

Picking David's parents up at the airport and going to get some food.

Everyone was very happy.

Walking to our building to get their bags to leave. One more snuggle time for Samuel and Papaw Cook before leaving on the walk. Our building is the tall tan one to the left. Our parking lot is about a block behind our building.

It was a great visit. We were very thankful that they were willing to make the long trip over. We look forward to the next time we can all be together again.
