TOOT, TOOT! CHUG, CHUG, CHUG! Here comes the Train to Thinsville down the track and into your station, so hop on board and enjoy the ride.
We had a low of 70º and going up to a near record high 94º and sunny with winds SSE 15-25. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible.
Yesterday we spent a lot of time sorting and tossing things because we will have to move out within a few days. I’m getting rid of a lot of old clothes that we brought from Mississippi and have never worn since we’ve been here.
We continued our game of Monopoly last night and we’ve been playing for about an hour every evening. I think this was our third night playing this game.
Maxine Calendar: Friday 6/1: I spend so much time looking for my cell phone it’s starting to feel like a hobby.
Peanuts Calendar: Friday 6/1: THE DAILY EXTRA: Fun Fact – Red, yellow, blue, green . . . a box of O-shaped cereal Froot Loops comes in a rainbow of colors, but the colorful Os are all the same flavor.
The following letters were sent from Japan about 2-3 years after we first arrived there. This one was a newsletter written by DH Bill 12/30/1957. (continued from yesterday). On Sunday December 22 we attended a service at Yokosuka which gathered 30 people 20 of them are not yet Christian. On Christmas night the five Christians of the Yokosuka Preaching Place and other regular attendants of the Bible class went caroling at a TB hospital. Kawasaki Preaching Place is still such an infant that we had only our usual Bible class on December 22. We have had a most Joyful Christmas. Gifts from friends and family, cards with those precious personal notes filled our hearts with great joy. Your prayers have been a source of strength and comfort to us in a year that has not been without its trying times. During 1957 in addition to the Evangelistic work, duties as Business Manager and Treasurer of the Mission Association kept me busy until September. Since Spring I’ve managed to get two afternoons a week language study. Numerous committees seem to occupy any extra time I think I have. The most interesting has been serving on the Building Committee of the Lutheran Literature Society. The plans are to begin and complete the new bilding in 1958. The first of the year will bring gradual integration into the workings of the Lutheran Literature Society. This organization is the joint endeavor of all Lutheran Missions and the Lutheran Church in Japan. Work as Promotional Secretary for the LLS will be my job until furlough in 1959. Doris wants to add a note so I’ll close for now. Bill. To be continued tomorrow . . .
