I’m hoping to update this blog more consistently, starting now. I won’t be posting daily, at least not yet, but I’m thinking of a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. Monday will continue to be Photo of the Week day; Wednesday I’ll try to post a story, a cultural note, or some thoughts on missions; and Friday will be a weekly re-cap posting, featuring personal, ministry and/or website news — starting now.

Here’s what’s been going on this week:

  • I’ve been accepted into an introductory Teaching English as a Second Language course, which I’ll be doing by distance education. I need to send them a cheque, but whenever they get that and send me my materials, I can get started. I’m looking forward to this, as I have limited experience and no formal training teaching English, and it’ll definitely be an asset to my ministry in Japan.
  • My support continues to climb; I’m less than a hundred $20/week commitments away from reaching my goal.
  • I’ve been getting into a pretty decent routine with my Japanese studies. I still need to try to spend more time each day on it, but at least it’s actually daily now.

And that’s a wrap for this week’s re-cap.
