David and I have been looking for an opportunity to serve
overseas. We have been preparing in many areas of our life to do so. We have completed our schooling, and tried not
to collect too many personal items during our first 4 years of marriage. In the
fall of 2011, we met with a missionary couple, Tony and Marcia Haug, who are
currently serving in Shimonoseki, Japan. Learn more about their ministry at their website here. After discussing their needs and our
desires to go, we accepted an offer to go to Japan and teach English with them
for 2 ½ years. David will be teaching English conversational classes and I will
be helping them start an all English speaking Pre-School for Japanese students.
We are preparing to leave in August of 2012.
Every six months since we have been married, we have sent
out our Two Cooks newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter was to help us
keep in contact with our friends and families and to let them know what the
Lord was doing in our lives. We decided to begin a blog as another way to keep in
contact with people. We will not be mailing out our newsletter when we are out
of country, but we will be emailing and posting them under the Newsletter tab
here on our blog. We want to use this blog to update everyone on a daily or
weekly basis of our work in Japan.
