The River Bank.

About 3 a.m. on 8th of June, my important friend passed away of cancer. He was 77. He was born and brought up in a small village in England. He couldn't go on to high school due to  the First World War. Instead of going on studying at school  he started working at a farm. He said he was reading the Bible in the farm's pigsty back then when he could find time. When he was 20 something, he studied the Bible at a seminary in the UK. At age 27, he decided to leave for Japan as a missionary. The place God assigned him was Fukushima. He had worked 50 years there to convey the God words. Until the last minute, he had been staying steadfast to the Lord Jesus Christ.


The picture was taken on the day he went up to Heaven, and the river bank was where Mr. Lawrence and I often took a walk together.


Today I attend his funeral ceremony.


Dear Mr.Lawrence,


Thank you & See you again !


Your friend in Christ,
