I am on my way back to Japan! It's been a great trip and I have a new "home" in Kansas. After a week of experiencing the full range of weather, storms, lighting & thunder, tornadoes, and sun, it feels like home. The wide open spaces are wild and beautiful! Well, the best part was meeting the warm friendly people that have faithfully prayed for us. The "wide open hearts" of many, including the American Baptist Women's Ministries (ABWM), are a big blessing to us. Yesterday, I met Pastor Dan and his wife, Susan, who is a new IM board member, at FBC Louisburg. I can guarantee, if you visit FBC Louisburg, you will be warmly welcomed with wide open hearts of Christ's love! I am so encouraged by all the people I met in Kansas and I saw the love of God through them. 

Thanks again for all the prayers on this two-week journey, Seattle and Kansas!

May the Lord continue to richly bless you! 

 With Thanks and much Love, 

 Gordon and Lee Ann Hwang
