Another day in the life of the Smiths

With rain pouring yet again, our family decided to do some inside work. Since our coffee shop in Kikuchi closed, we had boxed up and moved all of the things to our coffee shop in Minami Aso. For the past couple weeks, our Bible study on Sundays looked rather like a garage sale in progress!

So today, Norman and I, plus Melodie and Chloe (Cameron wasn’t feeling well), went to the Minami Aso store and started sorting out what to keep, what to give away, and what to toss. While the three of them did that, I started to fill an order for herb tea packets. We made a sizeable dent in the mess! Norman figures another two times like we had today, and things might finally be in place. On our trip home, Norman looked over at me and commented, “We just aren’t normal, are we?” We certainly have experiences few missionaries have! But, it’s all in a day’s work. And we hope to bring glory to our Lord while we’re doing it!
