We are Mike, Erin, Brayden, and Cooper! Currently we live in Japan. We're here with 8 others, and our hope is to share Christ with the Japanese people. I'm using this blog to keep in touch with all those in America as our family grows and we try to serve God here.
Thanks for the honesty in your blog. I was also going through a period of "down" a few days ago. I was at a point where I just didn't want to be here any more. The frustration with the language, the changes in culture, etc. all seemed to hit at once. It took awhile before I realized this was what they were talking about at MTI. Nancy and I talked about it for a bit and I did eventually get over it- for now. But it is easier to deal with it once you know what it is. This is getting long so I'll stop. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. We are praying for all of you, too.
