TwElVe :D and THIRTEEN

So guess what! I am getting closer to being caught up on my blogs :)

This is for June 8th - Monday!

Today is orientation day and I didn't wake up till noon! I stayed up talking to my sister last night. Orientation went really well today we focused on unity again! The wigtakes (whatever it is gonna take) had our meeting together and we shared prayer requests together and I will write them on the bottom if you would like to pray over them. 2 men came to Christ last night at karaoke church! How amazing is God's work here in Tokyo!!! :D Please pray for these hearts of the new believers. Our fellowship time today with all the interns was a lot of fun! We caught up on our week and shared fun times and more prayer requests. We had an amazing worship service today together. We also spent time with our station teams and loved on each other! For dinner we shared some amazing sandwiches and I am not being sarcastic!!! We did a game that was to encourage our brothers and sisters that I really liked! Basically it was an acrostic of each team members name and you could add encouraging words and or scripture. i really took the time to invest in my teammates and write scriptures that were uplifting and loving. Today was an amazing day as a team of interns and I enjoyed being able to rest!

PR:
-spiritual warfare on campus' and stations
-distribution process and getting gospel to all houses
-new believers and their hearts!

Welp! Today is my day off and I slept in till noon again :) I started a new book today and have so far not been able to read a lot but I am excited about getting into it. I am a nerd for those of you who do not know this already and I like to read. I am reading the SCREWTAPE LETTERS. Today I was able to catch up on three blogs and this is why you are now being able to read the past blogs before these! I caught up on laundry today too! It is amazing to not have to do laundry but once every two weeks! I also started writing out my email for my prayer warriors and for those of you reading this who are my PW.... you got mail! Hope you enjoyed reading my updated pr list! So even though today was my day off I had to go to our M's house for girls nigh out! We watched Bride wars and ate sooo much :) It was a lot of fun to spent time with the girl interns and get to know each one a little more :) We ate chili and cheese and rice and chips and more chips and yummy candy! AND GUESS WHAT--- we had SWEET tea.... :) For those of you who don't know me about this... I would choose sweet tea over any drink any day! I was so excited to drink sweet tea with the gals and enjoy girls night! Birmy one of the interns here with me and I went to a sports store tonight and GUESS what else :) I bought a soccer ball for park evangelism!! I am so excited about this ministry... :) Soccer is my passion (reminder) :) Well I definitely enjoyed my day off!

jyuichi - eleven!

I am still catching up!!! Don't hate on me!!! :)

This blog is for June 7th :) Sunday!

Today is church day and we are all together at Kogonei park for church! :) It didn't rain today!!! :) It was a great day and I really enjoyed a day of rest and fun times at the park with all the interns and our volunteer teams.. We still have the choir here from Cali and they sang for us during worship time and we enjoyed a great bible study together! We are still praying over our team and building unity! Please join with us in praying for unity this summer. The enemy is trying to tear us apart as we try to become a close team! He will not win though! Today was an at rest day for the team and I was able to dive deep in the word today. I was pretty excited and I got a lot of scripture read today and learned a lot. It is amazing how much Christ has spoken to me in only two weeks time here in Japan! I love it! It was nice to pull myself all together after a long week and restore myself spiritually for what this next week has in store! I refocused my view and reminded myself that everything was about the BOTTOM LINE! All about making His name famous in this beautiful nation of Japan. I was able to pray for my station today and continue to water the seeds that we have been planting in recent days! God is going to do amazing work this summer.

Tomorrow is orientation day so I have half a day off tomorrow until 2 when my meetings start! I ended up staying up till 4 in the morning talking to my sister and catching up with her. It really helped and though I miss family, I do not miss home :) Thank you for your prayers over my family and accepting that I am in Japan all summer away from them.

prayer REQUESTS:
-Mitaka train station: today as bible study and we had no contacts show up.
-Seikei University and the seed planting that is taking place!
-Our volunteer teams and their obedience to God's calling this summer. Pray that they will have strength to finish this week strong!
-Unity among all the interns and the volunteer teams.
-Having Christ-like love and forbearance!
