We arrived as scheduled at NRT Airport in Japan. As we debarked the plane Zeke excitedly commented “Hey look the carpet is red, just like in Grandpa Loren’s Vision!!!” We truely feel that god has paved the way for us on this journey. In the days before we left Loren shared with us that he had seen a vision of senturies walking with us as we entered Japan, they had laid out a red carpet, our way was paved and our mighty God was protecting us! What an amazing vision!

We arrived at our apartment around 2 pm. It is spacious, with lots of windows, 2 balconies and 4 bedrooms. It’s huge for Japan standards. I am so glad that Caleb found this place. James and russel from Japan Relocation were here to greet us and let us into the apartment. The apartment manager went througn things with us: where trash goes, how our keys work, how to control the ac units, and told us about 2 alarm buttons we should never touch. She spoke in Japanese and Russel interpreted for us. The internet service people were alreay working on the installation and our temporary furniture had already been delivered and set up. It was kind of like walking into a hotel. It is mostly furnished, and we have temporary dishes, kitchenware, towels to use for the next month. So helpful! There are still many things to figure out like what do all the buttons for the toilet do.
We worked for a couple hours unpacking our suitcases a bit and made the beds. Caleb walked to the “Family Mart” a convience store located just a block away and got us some food for dinner. For our fist meal we had some breaded chicken, Rice balls, a pastry and spaghetti. All the food is premade and packaged we didn’t have to cook! The long day and travel were catching up to us as we were all about to fall asleep at the table. We got the kids tucked in and Caleb and I sat down as he had a little work to do. As I was talking to him I was literally falling asleep as we were talking. I don’t recall ever being so exhausted in my life.
