We Moved

Yes we moved yet again!  This time to Higashi Kurume where CAJ is located.  I mention that because CAJ is probably one of the bigger reasons that we moved.

For those who have been following us for a longer time you will remember that David our oldest child did his senior year at CAJ and Jonny then followed suit the following year.  I say for a longer time because David has now graduated University and is now working for I-Deep an IT company located in Tokyo.

OK so why is CAJ a major reason for us to move?  Well for reasons I won’t go into right now Sarah our third child decided not to attend CAJ for her senior year, however, Mary our youngest is proud to follow in her brothers footsteps and also plans to attend TWU just like David & Jonny.

When David and Jonny were at CAJ I was taking time out from regular mission work.  Usually we travel home and visit family and those who pray for us and help us financially.  This time however, we did not have the money to travel so I was free to take a part-time job at CAJ to help cover the tuition costs for the boys.

Now it is Rhonda’s turn to work at CAJ and this actually fits into our last child leaving the home.  Rhonda is finally able to get back to the reason she came to Japan and seek to work in Education again.  However having been raising four children, even though this included home-schooling along the way there was still a need to catch up on recent developments in the classroom.  So Rhonda is now a teacher at CAJ.

With both Rhonda and Mary needing to commute to CAJ and Mary at the same time being diagnosed with POTS, it was not reasonable to expect the both to commute for over one hour each way every day.  Our new postal address is;

2-19-10 Kanayama Cho.  Higashi Kurume. Tokyo 203-0003.

The big benefit is that this house is only a one-minute-walk from our oldest son and his wife.  As they are expecting our first grandchild in January it is an added bonus to be this close.
