Ashley Boutte is an OMF missionary who went to Japan in the Spring of 2022. ⁠Her time in northern Japan has been wonderfully exciting in many ways, but there are many challenges she has faced as she adjusts. ⁠

Each challenge, though, has always presented an opportunity for her to move forward and grow closer to Christ. ⁠

Ashley's life so far in Japan will be of particular interest to anyone wanting to understand what it's like to be in a new country at the start of a missionary journey.⁠
