June, 2016<\/h1>\n

Since our last note…<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

A new address for us<\/strong><\/span> – we’ve made the decision to move to Mount Vernon, WA, a community about an hour north of where we’ve been living in Woodinville. It’s about half-way between Seattle and Vancouver, BC. Many have asked “Why?”\u00a0Some family connections in the area,\u00a0a good housing option, and what appears to be a good environment with good resources for Sky to start his high school years. We’re moving this month and will be at our new abode by July 1st. Please change your data for us to: \u00a01150 Burlingame Rd, Mount Vernon, WA, 98274.\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

A quick trip to Japan<\/strong><\/span> – from May 23rd – June 2nd Tim and Sky took a fast 10-day trip to Japan. It came about rather suddenly but the main purpose was so that Sky could re-connect with former classmates\u00a0at the Christian Academy in Japan and be part of their 8th grade graduation celebration. We had a blast and even had a chance to visit our friends at the Isesaki Church, stay at our bible camp on Mt. Akagi, and spend a couple days in Gunma going through our stuff and getting a head start on shipping some of that back to the US. The photo below is a wonderful meal we shared with Pastor Kogure, our long time colleague in Gunma along with his wife Megumi and daughter Akari.\u00a0\"DSC08298\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jim & Hydi Peterson hosted us up at Akagi Bible\u00a0Camp – here Sky is with Hydi and their son Miles…<\/p>\n

Lilla graduates high school!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> On June 14th Lilla finished up high school. It was fun to see her and 400 other seniors from Woodinville High School graduate in the Xfinity Arena in Everett. Pouring rain…. which sort of reminded us of Sam’s graduation in Tokyo 2 years ago.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your continuing prayers during this transition. We listed most of these in our last bulletin but we share them again with you here:<\/p>\n
