HER NAME WAS KIM

"Guess who I got a call from?! Sab!" Sab and Sonah were on the island and wanted to know if they could meet.

Sab (Saburo) Matsumoto also received training at the same school we went to in the U.S. His wife, Sonah (Kim, her maiden name), a Korean American,  came to Japan in 1986 as a short-termer and lived with me. That was the year Kinya and I got engaged.

I rushed back to Daddy's study. In one of his desk cubbyholes, he'd kept a photograph of Sab's family years ago. They probably didn't know it, but Daddy held them dear to his heart and had been praying for them quite often.

Would it be encouraging to them to know he thought of them whenever he looked up from his work? I wanted them to see this!

"And June," I seemed to hear, "I sent Sab and Sonah so you would look up and be encouraged to know I think of you."
