• Here are a few pictures from our overnight prayer retreat last week. We drove a couple of hours down to Shirahama, a beach town on the Pacific coast; totally felt like we were in a different country. God blessed us with gorgeous weather and a beautiful setting for the retreat!! 
  
  
  Ocean view from our hotel balcony
  
  
  Barb and Susanne sinking their feet into the white, powder-like sand
  
  
  
  
  Jan (Barb's older sister) and Susanne (their friend) are enjoying their first trip to Japan. Unfortunately their two week trip will come to an end tomorrow as they fly back to Ohio; I wish they could stay longer!
  
  
  Taking in the view
  
  
  
  Water threatens to overtake their building project.
  
  
  Waves rolling in as the sun begins to set
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Saying goodbye to the beach until tomorrow
  
  
  While driving along the coast we see this famous rock formation in the middle of the water...calls for a picture
  
  
  Notice how our hotel room is multifunctional--a living/dining room during the day and a bedroom at night
  
  
  Slumber party--three futons across and one in the other room behind the sliding doors. That would be Jan curled up sleeping.
  
  
  A rare moment where the Sanders' boys weren't playing on the beach...they had a blast in the giant sandbox!
  
  
  Patrick, Katherine, and little Sarah take a break from lunch to pose for a picture. So glad they could join us!
