Some Treats God Has Given

As an MK, I've seen the salvation of men for whom wives prayed 20 years; the return to church as adults those who had contact with it as children; and the most wonderful provision of all: my new Mom, one of the first believers in our church. My first mother went to be with the Lord in '81. I hear she recommended the new Mrs. Oshiro to my Dad before she went--she'd babysat us so we'd grown up loving her--no stranger to the family!

A missionary family, I read once, has to develop such a strong bond that there's a closeness even when far apart. I think that's one aspect of being an MK I'd never trade. Distance in proximity doesn't matter so much when there's a closeness in relationship. My sisters & I still keep in touch through email--I think we're the biggest encouragements we have for each other--& have shared things with each other about which we'd confide in to no one else.
