Monday we went to the mission school in Oguni. We got to meet some of the students, ride their back hill (sticky, wet snow!) and talk about God with them. Most of them aren`t Christians but were curious to talk to us about our faith. ���j�͏����ɂ���L���X�g���Ɨ��w���ɍs���܂����B���k�����Ɨ��R�ŃX�m�{������A�_���܂̘b�ⵂ��肵�܂����B���������̐��k�̓N���X�`��������Ȃ��B����ǁA�l��̐M�‚̘b�ɋ������BĂ��ꂽ��B Back in Yonezawa we went out for dinner with [...]

After the Mochituki on Sunday we had a free afternoon and were enjoying the latest blizzard to hit this town. The host family that Travis had been staying with had been asking us to ride down a small mountain behind their house. We were happy to oblige! After bootpacking up the ridge we were rewarded [...]

After church on Sunday we had a special dinner with the Keisen church people. They showed us how to make Mochi…basically, you pound rice into a sticky paste and then eat it like dumplings in soup. yummy! We have been so blessed by the generosity of this church family! ��j���q���I��BĂ���A�b��L���X�g����̃����o�[�ƓUʂȐH���ⵂ܂����B�ނ�͖l�����ɂ¿�‚��볂��Ă���܂����B�l�����͂��G�ρA���񂱁A���ȕ��A�[���¿�ɂ��ĐH�ׂ܂����B���������B��I�l�����͂��̋C�O�̂�������̃t�@�~���[�ƁA�{���ɂ��΂炵���j���̂Ƃ��ⷂ����܂����B

After a travel day and going riding our first day here, we finally have a chance to update the blog.
