Day 5 and 6!!!

Day 5
Mondays are orientation and training days so today I didn't leave the cave. Well I did but it was only to get ice cream with some of my interns :) For the interns are first meeting was not till 2:15 so I slept in till about 11 and it felt amazing! Our meeting went great and I received the map of my train station and am so excited! I do not remember if I posted that I am in charge of distribution, but this is a huge task for our team! I was a little overwhelmed with the map and the size of our area to distribute to, but Christ is really showing me it is gong to be for HIS glory whether all the houses get reached or not. He has a purpose and we will reach out to those he has called us to this summer! So we had worship at 4 and we had a short type of lesson and prayer time. We really focused on unity and building each other up and working together. I think it was needed not because there are issues or anything but to constantly remind each other that we are here with each other to grow in HIS NAME! So we enjoyed pizza together and it was yummy :) On Monday nights we have mandatory fellowship and it was fun :) mandatory fellowship sort of sounds like punishment, but it isn't at all! It just means we have to take the night off from scheduling events with our contacts! So we sat around and all caught up on fun stuff and things that have happened throughout the week! We eventually went to get ice cream and that was delish!!!

Day 6
So today was my day off and I really enjoyed it! Well I ended up waking up at 6:30 in the morning because of girl problems but eventually after getting sick I was able to get back to sleep. I enjoyed sleeping in till about 10:30ish and then I woke up! I got up and got dressed to go get some groceries and eat lunch :) So I went walking on the Tokyo streets really enjoying my time alone for myself! So I went to two hippie stores and really enjoyed my time looking at tons and tons of Japanese hippie stuff :) I bought several bracelets to take home for my WBU friends and a few high school friends back home. So I spent some time there in those stores and eventually made my way to the huge crosswalk in Tokyo... I ate at a great cheap restaurant and enjoyed eating with my chopsticks! I did very well and it is a place where there are only like 15 seats, so you eat and leave. Well I must share with you that I am proud that I got in and out so fast!!! I ate great with just chopsticks!!! :D So after lunch I made my way to the grocery store or what I would call the Tokyo wal-mart! I got me some lunch meat and bread and cereal and milk and yogurt and good stuff that I currently cant think of as I type up this blog! But I got me some food that will save me form spending money on Mondays when I don't have to leave and on Tuesday my day off! So throughout the day I stayed in contact with my team and a few of the other interns and their teams... We have a NEW SISTER IN CHRIST!!! Asia University which was my first university to visit in Japan, that team led a Japanese girl to Christ! How amazing is that!!! I was so excited to hear about this and it was such a blessing! On my walk around Tokyo I was able to prayer walk for these teams and what a blessing! My team was able to distribute all of their tracts that we were given for the day and I have not looked at the map to see how much they got accomplished but it makes me so happy to hear they ran out!!! My team wasn't really busy today in five minute english and I think the last I heard they only talked to about 10 people maybe? It could have been less...But I know that God blessed us with each one of those people that were talked to! So I pray that there are more opportunities on our next 5ME day which is tomorrow... :D

Prayer Requests!
-Please pray for our new sister in Christ!!! Pray that her heart is broken and now complete with the decision she has made. I ask that you pray over her baptism as well.
-Pray for distribution among all of the teams. There are two days a week that are set out fro distribution! these are hard work days that our teams walk all over their huge area to place the tracts and eventaully the Gospel in every mailbox!!!
