Joshua — what's happening to our couch?!

Oh my goodness! This couch is all but gone — almost!

You still have to put it together! Ha ha True.

Neo Bowser City. That's one of Ruth's favorites.

We have a Mario Kart tournament going on here

Because these two are gamers from childhood. We're so-so.

And then Joshua... Is also a gamer from childhood!

It's between Doug and Nate and Joshua and me!

Hurry Joshua, you can beat Daddy! Hurry, Joshua, go go go.

Sarah, everyone beat me! Oh! Did you win? You won first!

And the winner is Doug! We let our company win.

Oh, there's a person back there! Wow! Hi!

That's right — we're smuggling a ... couch.

So this is what our couch looks like when it's all dismantled.

It's going to go to a nice new home. Yea!

Well our couch has a new home now with Doug and Vicky,

And there's a big hole in our living room, we're going to be able to fill it with something new

Oh my- it's just ridiculous amounts [of work].

Oh, it's so cute, so fun! The end project is wonderful.

You know, I love being a pastor. Being a pastor is like being a father of a spiritual family.

And I love families, so it's just a natural fit for me!

We're making families! You're making families?!

This is the way that girls play with cars. They make matches and families.

Well we just celebrated Valentine's Day — the day that the whole world celebrates romantic love — awww.

But did you know that the origins of Valentine's Day go way back to the 3rd Century?

The Roman Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for his troops, thinking that they would fight better if they weren't married.

Saint Valentine was a pastor who held up biblical views of marriage and would secretly marry the troops.

Valentine was arrested and put in prison and there, awaiting execution, the jailer asked him to pray for his blind daughter.

Valentine prayed and the jailer's daughter miraculously received her sight!

The jailer became a Christian and was baptized along with many others.

Right before Valentine's execution, he wrote a letter to the little girl and signed it “from your Valentine.”

He was then executed on February 14, 269 A.D.

Now, centuries later, we still send Valentine's cards to people we care about.

But originally it was all about this priest who would marry people.

Rolling the ball, trying to get all of these.

Yea, I'm going to get more than that. You're going to get more than that?

You need to try to get all of these. All of them?

So we produce 4 different videos for the weekend.

Of course there's Life in Japan at 7:00 PM, which I'm putting the final touches on now.

And then at 8:00 PM we started a new channel with Ruth's uncle, Tim Huber.

He is a pastor and has lived here in Japan for over 30 years

And he has a channel that we launched which is about the meaning of life, all in Japanese.

And then Ruth works really hard on getting Paz Kids ready each week.

Paz Kids has lots of fun music, a good Bible story,

All kinds of cool things that the kids of our church can watch as we are not meeting together during this pandemic

Hey Becca and Anna, what are you guys doing? (Repeats in Japanese)

We are helping Mariam to hide Moses. (Repeats in Japanese)

And then lastly is the actual Paz Church livestream which I help produce

And this weekend I am preaching for it, so it's an extra thing that I get to do this weekend.

Momma chan is here, working on hers, getting it ready to go. Calling her lifeline.

I need help just with a couple little things.

I'm just trying to do a test for this Zoom call real quick Oh, ok.

As soon as I'm done with that I think I can run over there.

OK, sounds good. If you guys all want to come over, feel free.

OK Just to get out of the house or something.
