Alive, well, and busy.

Since my last writing a month-and-a-half ago, four very important things have happened:

1. I have moved into my official J-3 apartment.
2. I have begun teaching English at Luther.
3. My Internet access has been severely limited since moving into my official J-3 apartment.
4. My spare time has been severely limited since beginning to teach English at Luther.

I am sorry to say that this has proved an unfavorable combination for my blog. Hopefully my Internet access will be restored soon, and when that happens I can post the volumes and volumes that I've been wanting to for over a month. Living and working as a missionary in Japan is unlike anything I've ever done before, and for the most part I'm really enjoying it. I'm very excited to share it with you all (and yes, there are plenty of photos), but for now all I can do is shoot off this brief message and my apologies all the people whose online communication I've had to (temporarily) spurn.

The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
