New York

　 Hallelujah! Thank you very much for your prayers and offering. 

    In the United States, the restrictions against the spread of corona virus infection were considerably lifted in mid-June, as there was the lowest number of infected people, but at the end of July the number of infected people has increased six-fold due to the Delta variant, and the infection is spreading rapidly again. In the West of U.S. there were a record number of wildfires, and their smoke travelled and covered the sky of New York for some days. Under such circumstances, the turmoil in the situation in Afghanistan is appearing in the news every day. In such a problematic situation, I would like to strengthen my prayers so that I can respond to the message from God that we are heading to climax work of God and that we will be His witness, which was spoken at Hakuba Camp.

    It’s a personal matter, but I had an accident of the false tooth coming off, and there was no way to get it back on because the supporting root got broken. However, giving thanks and praying, I am grateful to find the dentist who gave me a temporary treatment, otherwise it would be expensive. I will continue to pray for a temporary return to Japan, and hopefully receive complete dental treatment in Japan as I participate in the Hakuba camp in February or March next year.

    Also, there was a request from the overseas mission II class of TLEA Seminary to send a video of the missionary’s report and testimony. Through this assignment I am grateful I got the reconfirmation of the mission I was sent here. In addition, I hope that it will be helpful for long-term missionaries in the future, and that further prayers for overseas missions will be prayed.
