From Mary Esther Penner

Mark and Bruce are on their way home. They left at 2:47 Saturday.

Yesterday they were joined by Matsumoto and Hiroya from the Yamagata Deaf church and together they made contact with the Deaf community organization's person (kai cho) in Shiogama.  They were really glad to do that.  Matsumoto and Hiroya stayed at the cabin overnight with the rest of the group.

Shiogama church wants a portable generator and so Bruce is going to shop for that here in Tokyo and take it back.    Also, Andrew and Emily's (Mark and Mary Esther’s son and daughter-in-law) Bible study group sent some boxes, so we'll be able to send those things up with him too.  The mission gave him permission to use our van, so he'll have it in Tohoku the next two weeks.  Pray for Mark as he resumes a busy schedule of his normal mission work and for Bruce as he travels back to Shiogama to continue in the relief efforts.  Thank you!
