We're back in Japan! It's been a few weeks since we returned, and it's been a bit surreal to be back after our nearly 4-month home assignment in the States. We had a wonderful time in America visiting friends, family, and supporters, and managed to get a bit of time for rest as well. But it is good to be back in our home in Yokohama. Right before we left Seattle, Mason got baptized at Lighthouse! It was amazing to celebrate with him as he continues to grow in his faith and walk with Jesus!

Updates & Praise:
Now that we're back in Japan, praise God that our budget is fully supported!
Mason got baptized at Lighthouse on March 30th! Praise God! May God continue to work in his heart and guide his steps with Jesus all of his days!
Before leaving the States, we had one last visit with another supporting church in Seattle. It went great! Jeff even gave the missions update in Japanese, thanks for your prayers!
Mason and Kaili started the new school year as soon as we got back to Japan. Mason started 6th grade, and Kaili 4th grade.
We've now been in Japan for 3 years. We are so thankful for your prayers and support!
Prayer:
Please pray for our adjustment back to life and ministry in Japan, especially for future ministry opportunities.
Please pray for Mason and Kaili, who are on their school's weeklong camp in Nagano (3-4 hours away), for health and safety as well as wonderful times of worship and fellowship.
Please pray for Malia as she begins full-time, in-person Japanese classes next week (her first time doing so), especially for understanding, confidence, and energy as well as relationship with her teachers and classmates.

We would love to hear from you, whether it be to share your prayer requests or to simply catch up. Please know that we think of you and pray for you often.
Thanks and blessings,
The Walkers
Jeff, Malia, Mason, Kaili, and Elijah
