Who would fix dinner?

We went to Kyoto on our day off to the Kinkakuji (Golden Temple). The temple is surrounded by Japanese gardens which are absolutely beautiful. There was even a heron on a rock in the water which made the scene perfect. There were workers sweeping the moss to remove all leaves and plant debree. Fred said, "I want my back yard to look like this." The only way to have that is to work at it every day to achieve perfection. It was breathtaking. Then we walked along an outdoor shopping area. There were a variety of shops including seafood and other delicious options. Which one do you think I chose?
We are preparing to start opening apartments this week. We expect to double, then triple, our missionaries in a short few months. There is a lot of work ahead. Japan is talking about relaxing the border restrictions even more in June. This is great for many people who have been waiting for a long time. The days zoom by with more things to do than we have time to do it. We love this opportunity to serve in the Kobe area. It is great to be part of this work. Jesus visited Mary and Martha. Mary sat at Jesus's feet and heard his word. Martha was cumbered about with much serving. Fred and I consider ourselves, Martha. We enjoy the work of service but we are also growing in our love of the Savior. We take time for the spiritual through scripture study, prayer, church, devotionals, and sharing our testimonies with others. I think the world needs Martha's too for who would fix dinner?
