Surprise!
Last night we attended a surprise 50th birthday party for our Priest, Father Rowan. Dress code: Black attire-Only a select few were invited and since I am a council member I was one of those select few invited to attend. It was a touching party since we were celebrating 2 months early. Father Rowan will be headed to the dessert for deployment and will spend his birthday there in two months. The military priest faces unique challenges. They deal with frequent deployments, confront death as part of their jobs, help troops contemplating suicide and etc...It takes sacrifice and self-discipline. Father Rowan is a high ranking officer and in charge of our wing here at Yokota. He is the reason we love going to church every Sunday. He is an extremely shy person, but when he is up at the alter you would never know it. We will miss him.
