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.

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...

Things I Learned at His Hill

Image
Hi there feiend, It's already been a few months since I left Texas and His Hill. Since then, I have been working hard to finish my Bible school classes online. I officially graduated last week. I've had a lot of time to think and reminisce about my time in Texas hill country and everything I learned on that blessed hilltop. I'd like to share with you some of the life-changing lessons I picked up there. It takes God in man for man to be the man that God made man to be. This phrase was forever etched into my brain. It was something that we were told at the very beginning of the year but was repeated and driven home throughout the year. When God made humans He made us to have HIs Spirit dwell within us. We were designed to live in harmony with God. Yet, our sin separated us from Him. The only way for us to be the people God designed us to be is to allow the spirit to live in and through us. " However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spi...

Wrestling With My Body

Image
Hi there,  This goes out to all those who have ever thought negatively about their body. I'm writing this to anyone who doesn't like the way they look. This is for those who criticize their bodies. I'm talking to those who are self-conscious about their looks. So, listen up. I've got a story to tell. This is my story.    I want to start this off by saying that I only realized all this after it had all happened. I didn't recognize the thoughts and my actions at the time. But, looking back I can now see what was going on. It's kind of like life is a highway and I can only see the giant pothole in the rear-view mirrors. With that said, today I wanted to tell my story of the wrestling match between me and my own body. I'm not telling this story because it's a pleasant one. I'm not telling this story because I enjoy thinking about it. I'm not trying to make you smile. I'm telling it because it's a part of my story and I hope that others...
