This is Sachiko (and Noa, Martha, and Eric) :
Sachiko is one of our dear friends from Japan who we got to know through college ministry. We met her soon after we arrived in Japan and have so enjoyed our friendship with her these last 2 years. We are thrilled that she will be staying with us for the next 4 months. She’ll be doing an intensive English program at a nearby university and be a part of our family during this time. When she returns to Japan she’ll graduate from college and begin her new job in Tokyo. We’re so thankful that we get to have her for this fun and special time and pray that it is a life-changing experience for her. Would you pray for Sachiko and for us, that this experience would be a blessing for us all? We’re so thankful that, while we miss Japan so much, God brought a very special ‘piece of Japan’ here to us! 
Welcome to America, Sachiko!
