Fun with Friends

Posted by on November 15, 2014

We had a wonderful few days visiting, reconnecting, traveling and just spending time together  in fellowship with friends Fabio and Johnna and Sophia Muniz.    They are currently raising support with the Evangelical Covenant Church as short term missionaries in Japan.  They will be working with Latinos in Japan.  To find out more about their ministry, click on their names above.  Johnna and Joel went to seminary together, ran a marathon together with another good friend Jodi Moore and we have been friends since.  It was good for our souls to be with old friends.  Share life together, even if for just a short time.  It was difficult to say goodbye as we know we will not see them for a long time.  Such is the life of a missionary.  Friends, good friends all over the world.  It does seem to make the world smaller somehow.  We are thankful for good friends who encourage and love us and who we can pick up right where we left off as if no time passed.  Although it was the first time meeting Fabio and Sophia, it seemed like we knew them a long time.  It was great to get to know them better.  The kids enjoyed playing together.  As Johnna and I watched the girls together laying on the play mat, I realized that these girls are similar.  Both pastor’s kids, missionary kids and sweet girls.  Life won’t be easy, but it is special to know there are others out there that are similar.  They are not alone.  So, we thank God for sweet friends who encourage us and love on us (they brought us goodies from the U.S. and took us out for Joel’s birthday).  It is good to know we are not alone in our missionary journey.
