This Is Why

Teaching in Japan is an exciting adventure, but at times it is so hard to be away from friends and family that I find myself wondering, "Why are we here and not there?" and "Is it worth it?".  This picture answers it all.

During play time, this student chooses to read the class picture Bible.

This is ultimately why we are here: to help bring restoration into the hearts of kids in Japan.  And this picture reminds me that all the homesickness, all that we're missing out on in the States, and being away from my loved ones is worth it.
