day 2 :D

so i learned some japanese today and i enjoyed looking at beautiful tokyo under an umbrella all day! :)

today was a rainy day so it is really hard to do 5 minute english so instead my team and i decided to talk to people inside our huge train station and learn some japanese... we did a lot of prayer walking today, well at least I did! It is harder as a female because we only talk to girls... so I didn't have a lot of contacts today, but I was so blessed with the ones I was able to talk to! Inside the train station today I stopped to talk to a junior high aged girl about learning japanese... she started teaching me some words and I started learning a lot :) So then her friends came up and I got to share with them and why I wanted to learn some Japanese and why I was there in Tokyo! It went great and even though they had to leave after only 5 or 10 minutes. 

I ate me some wendy's tokyo style today :) I had what texans would call a bbq burger with corn, shredded cheese, and pineapple on it! It was amazing :) I love trying new food! :D We went to a new university today and find out tomorrow our teams for the whole summer... but today I was with a team of two guys, two different ones than yesterday.. These two guys were at the university with me yesterday as well but they were not apart of my team! They are great though :) So on our walk today there is a BASS PRO SHOP in japan! Please this cracks me up :) Definitely made me think of some of my guy friends back at home!!!

I went for a walk this morning about 7:30 for breakfast at a bakery and bought a huge cinnamon roll for about 100 yen which is about $1! It was great and I think a few more interns will go in the morning... :) The interns are fun and we are growing closer and it is awesome! 

God really showed me today to depend on him and to go to him through prayer! He wants me to rely on him but I really have to choose to do that! As I was walking through the train stations around and around looking for people to help me learn japanese I decided you know I can use this time in prayer! Well not too long after that God showed me the junior high girl to talk to which eventually led to a group of junior high girls! How amazing he is! 

well i need to go workout, so have a great day and thanks for everything!!!
