A longer update
Ok, so I said I’d write a longer update, so here goes…
the Iwaki climb was a good day, we cheated and went up in the cable car and climbed hardly any, so I feel like I should go back and do it again. But it is going to be closing soon, the first snow appeared on the top of Iwaki on monday and usually they close it at this time of year to deter people from going up and freezing etc… There are pictures of our ascent in the gallery…
Last weekend we had a prayer meeting for all OMFers in Tohoku. Tohoku is the are of Japan encompassing an area from down about Sendai right up to the top of Honshu. It was a good chance to meet all the people whose names I keep reading about in prayer letters and stuff. It also made for a fairly relaxed time at Aomori Christian Centre, which is a very nice place indeed!
After the prayer meeting The Elliots son, Luke, and his wife, Yuko, came to stay for a night. The opportunity was seen and seized to get out and dust off “Chopper Command” from the shed and demonstrate our toy-helicopter control prowess with landings and picking things up etc etc. There are a few photos in the gallery
We took some video of the chopper in action, Luke may edit it up and post it on his blog. If not I will perhaps do it and post it up in the gallery with the photos.
I went with John (Elliot) to the sports centre today to assess the situation. Every time I had been until now I found it closed and thought perhaps I was in the wrong place. But it turns out I was in the right place and it may well have closed down… So now I am not sure exactly what I am going to do… Maybe if everyone prays really hard I will meet some people who are into kayaking and kayak-surfing and want to lend me the gear so I can go too… Maybe the local swimming pool will have a kayak-polo team… Maybe the moon will be blue tonight… 
But really, if you feel like praying for me, pray for me to find something to do…
So thats all for now, I have reorganised the gallery if you want to go look at photos. There are even a few new ones in there…

Tohoku!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry- I’m easily amused as you know.
I know where that is!!! I’ve been to the daigaku there!!!
Did you pray for some of the guys in Sendai, like the Taylors or the Thompsons or the Graces? I absolutely unequivocally adore every man jack of them!
I shall pray for a kayak for you!
