fun days
One thing i love about foreign countries.......the way the use the english language in the craziest ways! This is my yesterday morning outside the "ghetto happy dining".......what?..........EXACTLY!!!!!! hahahahhahhahhahaha made me miss DeSoto.....for like a second!
protest going on........
5 minute english and Katy talking with a business man
these are my favorite glasses ever!!!!!!!
playing on the subway
This is Yoyogi park...where we spend our mornings playing and meeting new friends!
i have so many great pics of this place. it is just beautiful. I will post them all when i get home!!! I cant figure out how to rotate my pics and since all the word things are in Japanese.......i will just have to wait.
oooooooooo we met this great guy in the park...that is him to the right. He was this amazing musician and had these large wok style/pan art things. They made the most beautiful sounds!!!!! Oh it was so hard to play but i had a great time chatting with him!
i will have to do an entire post about sundays in the park. i saw the most bizarre things EVER!!!!!! what to you see the pictures......this is just a taste.....these guys were dressed up like Elvis and at some point thought that it would be great take the shirt off. their hair was CRAZY!!!!!!
me and the team looking up at all these mirrors outside one of the eating places. They are so cute!!!!
All the pictures are great but I must be honest with you........they just don't capture what it is that God is doing. Father has just poured out His fragrance over us and people are so drawn to us. We are constantly talking with people. Yesterday these three precious girls came up to us while doing 5 minute english. We began talking and before we new it the girl that is right by me shared that she had moved to North Carolina a year ago. She was attending a Christian school and had become a believer........then she shared that she too had followed through with baptism and we were like AMEN!!!!!! Her friends were not believers and we just got to talk to them so much. I told her that she really needed to share with them about her joy!!!!!! they then wanted to take pictures with us!!!! so fun!!!!!! thank you whatever school in North Carolina for pursuing her and leading her to Christ!!!!! My prayer now is that she will influence her friends to start seeking!
The verse that we really chewed on today is
"Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. OUTDO ONE ANOTHER IN SHOWING LOVE!!!!" Romans 12.10
we have had some small issues between team members but God has been so faithful to deal with them immediatly as they come up. My students are constantly meeting with their new friends and the last two nights they have shown up at the door wanting to pour out their hearts about the meetings. I cry every time because they are so bold and have such love for Father. Wanting these people in heaven with us becomes even more personal when you are somewhere that God is not famous. Please pray for no more rain and for rest. We are an energetic group and go go go. We have a great time but we need to rest good as well. Please also pray that my students will make it the top priority of the day to spend alone time in the word and in prayer. We spend so much time prayer walking and reading scripture out loud that some are beginning to slip in their personal time with God. I am just encouraging to make the time!!!!! He is faithful to make the time up somewhere in the day! I always feel like i am rushing these posts. i am sitting in our hostel with like a million other people and many from Europe and other Asian countries...........Jesus love the little children, all the children of the world.......those words will just not leave me!!!!! PRAISE YOU FATHER FOR USING US TODAY!!!!!!
I love you.....all of you. Thank you for taking the time to read this and to pray for us!!!!! He is HEARING YOUR PRAYERS AND I PRAISE HIM FOR PROTECTING US!!!!!!
