Our friend Erika took time off from work October 16-20 to come and stay with us and serve the ACC ministry in whatever way she could.  Among other things she helped with the kids and with our preparations for winter.  She also painted the sign at the front entrance a Nordic red--a project we have long been hoping to do.  This is the first step in adopting a Nordic theme for the center to commemorate the historic roots of the Aomori Christian Center which was started by a missionary from Norway.  Thank you Erika!  We look forward to your next visit.
