Japan Photos and an Update

Hi,
I took over 500 photos in Japan. I have chosen a very small amount of them to show you today. These photos are some of my favourites and I think to illustrate our time in Japan well. Each one has a very small caption explaining the photo a little. I hope you enjoy them!
As for an update, I have officially published an update to my GodFundMe page. You can click the link below to read it. That's all from me for now! Until next time,
God bless!

Waiting to board our flight to Japan. We flew out of Siam Reap, Cambodia.

We had a seven-hour layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We walked around for a while, got some lunch then found a spot to camp out for a few hours. 

When we got to Japan we had a three-hour bus ride. It was beautiful but I couldn't help but sleep for most of it. 

On our first day in Japan, we got to do some exploring. This was at a beautiful place called Oshino Hakai. 

We also walked through a stunning Japanese Garden. 

Most of our time we lived in Yamanakako which is my lake Yamanaka which is by Mt. Fuji.

In Japan, you do not wear shoes inside or you can wear inside shoes. When you go to the bathroom though, you wear bathroom shoes that are provided and everyone just slips on when you go in and slips off when they leave. 

Jordy and I took quite a few walks through the streets and paths around where we were staying. It was beautiful and reminded me of Canada. 

I saw this Moped parked at church and I loved the sticker on it.

One Sunday we explored a bamboo forest.

Looking up through the bamboo.


Part of the reason we were there was to help a family. We did everything and anything from cleaning and cooking to babysitting and setting up for guests. 

Their backyard.

One Saturday we had a picnic by the lake with this view in front of us! That's Mt. Fuji.  

A cool little shop that we biked by one day. 

A neighbour that Jordy had previously met invited us to join him a friend out on their little boat. 

The first morning of the first camp the girls in my room woke up really early and so I did too. I decided to go for a walk down to the lake with my free time. It was literally a five-minute walk to see this beautiful view!
On the second day of camp, we took all the kids down to the lake for a swim.


The beach was a private one owned by the YMCA we were staying at. So, it was just us there.

The whole time we were there all the adults were watching Mt. Fuji hoping the clouds would clear out. They never did but it was still stunning!
After swimming we went and had showers then had a campfire complete with campfire songs and smores! 

The kids roasting marshmallows and shielding their faces from the heat of the fire.

And thatès the end of camp number one!

On our off days between camps, we went for another swim at the lake since it was such lovely weather.

The beautiful sky!
Another beautiful walk with my beautiful sister.

Then it was time for camp number two. Playing games in our rooms.


Day two of Camp two at the campfire again.

Ou last night in Japan we took a walk by the lake at sunset.

Introduction to Bible Study Methods

Image
Hey there friends, A while ago I asked if I could teach a Sunday School lesson on Bible study methods to our youth group. This isn't usually my class but as I was sitting in service one Sunday morning I was reflecting on the things I wish I had learned earlier on in life. Bible study methods was the first topic. As I thought about it more I realized how much I would love our youth to have access to the information I wasn't taught until Bible school. This blog post is an adaptation of the lesson I taught them. My lesson was over two Sundays and so this blog post will be a two-parter as well. I hope you find this interesting and informative. Let's get into it! I grew up in a Christian home—a very involved and active Christian home. In fact, by the age of 11, I lived full-time in ministry. My family and I lived and worked at a Bible school, my dad was an elder, and I helped in the nursery at our church. I also worked at the Bible School summer camp! From there, we went directl

A Little Life Update

Image
 Hey there friends, I've been gone from here for almost a year this time around! The last time I posted was in March of 2021. Life has been wonderful and crazy all at the same time. I'm so excited to say that I've got a brand new blog post to share with you. But, I thought it may be nice to share a little life update before we get to that. Firstly, I've taken on some responsibilities with our church. I do the scheduling for the kid's ministry. I am one of the teachers for our K-4th grade Sunday School class and I help with Children's church during service. Noah helps lead the youth Sunday School class and I got to chaperone our youth camp back in June. We took on hosting our community group every Sunday night for a while until we recently started meeting at our church building. All this definitely gives me a lot more to do with my days and I have loved being more involved with our church.  At the end of June, I took my friend Alyson and her friend Mar to a Sunfl

Our Little Wedding Plans

  Hey there, It’s been a little while since I’ve written, but boy do I have news! I’ve been extremely busy this week, and I’d like to tell you why. As you may know, I’ve been living in Georgetown with Sarah and taking care of her daughter, Katie, since late May. But a couple of weeks ago, it was decided that it was time for me to move on. I had no clue where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. Or rather, I had my dream, but I knew it wasn’t possible. Noah and I were supposed to have gotten married in July, and I was still hoping that would happen soon. However, COVID has been making that quite complicated—possible, but complicated.  If this dream couldn’t come true, I knew that I wanted to stay in the area, and I knew that I didn’t want to move into someone’s basement again. God arranged some great people to help me search for a place and someone to rent with. We’re still sorting that one out. To buy me a little more time, my mom suggested I go to Quebec to visit family for a little
