Rob and Rika's wedding (part 1)

Yesterday was Rob and Rika's wedding. I have known Rob for about three years or so, and it was just amazing to see God bring a wonderful lady into his life, Rika.

I first met Rob at my school (New Life Academy), where he taught the Bible during chapel time. Than after a while he was the substitute teacher for the teachers, and also a BASEBALL PLAYER.

He first joined a team called "Samurai Naha", but the team just suddenly split due to the coach going to Taiwan. From there he still pursued after playing baseball in Okinawa and thus joined a team "Aniya". However, this team also did not last long, so I helped Rob searched for a different team, and this team was called "Tele-Clinic". However, due to the contract that Rob signed with "Samurai Naha", he was not able to play for that team, unless he got out of it.

So Rob had to track down the team captain of "Samurai Naha", and get his approval of resigning from the team, before he could join "Tele-Clinic". And through God's grace, he was able to get off from the team to join with "Tele-Clinic". But God has something more planned for him. And that plan was for Rob to join the team in Wakayama Prefecture, "Kishuu Rangers".

So me and Rob went up to Wakayama for the trial, if he could join or not. (I went as a translator) And it was during January of 2009! And he was able to join with the team! But sadly, Rob had to move to Wakayama...But God is good, he came back to Okinawa, but because he was kicked out from the team...But the only reason that God allowed Rob to be kicked out from the "Kishuu Rangers", was for him to join the best team in Okinawa, "Enagic"!

So from up to that point, where Rob joined with "Aniya" to "Enagic", I have been like his "manager".
