ARRIVED SAFELY

Beloved,
Thank you for your prayers for traveling mercies for Yuriko, Diane and Stan.  We arrived safely in Tokyo this morning. Michael will be joining us on Saturday so keep praying.

We departed from LAX 5 minutes after midnight and we're so thankful for those of you (Crossway and South Bay) who came to see us off.  We landed in Haneda at 4:40am, BTW, Happy Thanksgiving !  Waiting for us were Shota, Shohei and Ku, who we found out later had come to the airport area at about 1:00am and just slept in the car to ensure they would not be late to pick us up.  Love these young men (22 years old).

We had breakfast at this great Japanese Restaurant - Coco's.   It was good and the boys really put away that food.  (Sorry, no pictures - phone ran out of gas).  Joy was waiting for us at Evergreen Chapel and 2/3 of the team is napping right now.  In a few hours, we will be off to eat - again.

Just wanted to tell you we arrived safely.  You are a blessing to all that we have done and will do.  Thank you for being with us on this mission.
Gratefully,

Your Machida Team
