Circuit Visit May 2010

So during the Circuit Visit I got really sick. That's me half dead while we were heading back home after service. My loving husband took this shot and I must say that for a half dead person, I look pretty decent. :)) My hubby takes good care of me.

Above is the Narita English Congregation including three visitors and our Circuit Overseer.

Below is what we refer to as the "TEMPLE STREET" where we do street witnessing. This place is right at the Narita Station where we frequently go. I love this area...

Below is our Circuit Overseer Brother Michael Shinsato originally from Hawaii. He says that he knows the Odanis very well. His visit was refreshing and timely. As of September 2010, we will no longer be a congregation. We will become a group. His visit was faith strengthening and a boost to our zeal! One thing he emphasized was to be positive in our territory and make many progressive bible studies if we want to be a congregation again! Never have I felt the true realization that to do this, we NEED Jehovah's help and guidance. That fact alone gave the group a spirit of zeal... and it definitely motivated Yusuke and I to work hard! It's almost like a missionary assignment!!!

This is Ichiro Matsumoto, a good friend of Yusuke and I. He is our elder and he was able to join in on our Pioneer meeting because he was able to serve as an AP for a couple of months. He came to Japan years ago from California. Nice brother!

Below are fellow Pioneers. There will be a few remaining in the Narita English "Group" in September so this meeting was a bit special for all of us...

Yusuke, me, Mari, and Fumie took brother Shinsato out for dinner and I gave them a bible riddle. Who was the first drug addict mentioned in the bible?

As you can see, it was something worth meditating over. We had a great time! It was neat getting to know brother Shinsato better as well as hang with the friends. We ate our fill of unlimited Pizza and headed out a little later with great memories...
