Today is Saturday and we have been invited to attend a Saturday class on our university with our 2 Christian faculty members and their classes! Today was such a blessing when we got to the class and we were able to help the students. Those that came wanted to practice more english with english speaking people in order to get more practice before their exam. Their exams are in the next two weeks and for their english exam they have to summarize a movie they watched in english! So today I sat down with 3 students and was able to get to know them a little bit and help them! For those of you who don't know, my minor is in english and I love teaching! I realize I haven't completed my courses and hours, but just to get a before hand look at what it is going to look like really excites me! I can't wait to be directly connected with students and able to teach them and share with them the love of Christ through my teachings! PLUS I get to coach and what more can a girl with a passion for sports ask for! WHOOP! :) So class only was an hour and it went by pretty fast. Afterward we enjoyed lunch we met with my teammate rachel's contacts and had lunch together with her friends in an empty classroom. It was nice to be able to sit in their environment and connect with them! After lunch and hanging out with our Japanese friends for 2 hours we headed over to our station to do 5me! there were so many politicians here today and it was very busy. Right now elections are going on in Tokyo, so their are so many campaigns going on!!! Hopefully that will end soon though! :D So since it was so busy today, we sort of got run out of our station during 5me. Our team was able to speak to 7 people today and actually 5 of those conversations we were able to share the Gospel in!!! our Father is amazing :) I started a new book today called Redeeming Love. A friend of mine from Germany and now at WBU actually referred it to me a year ago, but because I am such a book worm I have been engaged in other books! So finally this summer I have picked this one up and am reading it! i highly recommend it to EVERYONE! it is not just a girl book at all! It is a must read! :) I went running when we got home today and it felt nice! Volleyball season is coming up sooner than I know it!
PR:
-classroom opportunity today
-praise for the christian faculty members
-contacts at seikei and closing up the school semester
-exams are coming up these next two weeks, very stressful time
-elections in tokyo
-our team...rachel brian tori jordan and i
-upcoming semester at WBU and volleyball season!
Thank you :)

Today was a campus day and again I was unable to meet with one of my contacts for lunch. It is getting upsetting, but I know Christ may have just wanted me to plant that seed in her life. I will allow Him to be in control and not stress and or worry about why she is unable to meet with me. One of our other contacts on our university wants to meet tonight for karaoke! I am happy my team along with other interns will join her for fun! I am unable to go tonight because I am meeting with a separate contact for dinner and fun! I know Christ has a plan for both of these meetings :) We didn't get to go into our classrooms today like we usually do on Fridays because we will join in with them tomorrow for a discussion class on Saturday! their exams are coming up soon, so the faculty offers random saturday extra tutorials for their students. We have been invited to come and help with the english classes in order to help them practice more english! We are excited about that and being able to see some of our contacts in the class and help them some more. They know we care about them and we continue to want to help them with their english studies! I met with my fiend today and she brought one of her other friends! i was excited to see them both and finally meet them :) We went to dinner and it was so good! We enjoyed a pasta place and had great conversations! i was able to share with them again why i was here in Japan and just like the year before when they met my friend Kyle from WBU. They understood what I was hear for and why I wanted to build relationships with the Japanese people. After dinner we went and did a fun photo booth thing that is very popular in Japan. You take photos and then you decorate them with fun writing and pictures. It was a lot of fun and the girls enjoyed it! they had to leave after a while because they live further away in Yokohama, so they had to get on the trains before they stopped running! Today was a great day and the karaoke meeting went amazing! they had a great time with this contact and she is very open to the gospel and is interested in learning more!
PRequests!
..dinner contacts tonight and their understanding of what i am here for and what i am all about
...karaoke party contact and her openness to bible study
...seikei university
...our faculty members that are allowing us to come help tomorrow
...saturday morning tutorials on our campus and the opportunities to build relationships with these friends!

So yesterday my best friend sent me a package and I am excited about getting it! many interns have been receiving packages all summer, so I think she wanted to send me some goodies too! lol God has given me such an amazing best friend! All of my support this summer has been amazing - thank you! I meant to share with you that some of the girl interns yesterday went shopping after work at one of the stations that has a H&M store! it is a very nice store and they are having a huge sale right now! I got to buy "teacher pants" and am so excited about being able to wear them! I can not wait to finish college and get a job and start teaching and coaching :D So today was a distribution day and now we have started to go back over the houses and apartments we already reached. Now we are distributing the Gospel of John since before we were doing the free DVD Hope tract for them to send in and get a story on DVD of the Gospel. We finished faster than we had expected to since the Johns are thicker and we can only carry less as we distribute. We talked about a better plan and for next time we will all carry a bigger number of packets of Gospel of Johns. So since we had a large amount of time between when we finished and free 5me time, we walked around our station and found a new restaurant to eat at! The 2 high school interns and I sat down together and enjoyed a delish lunch in an American type of restaurant! it was a hamburger patty with "special" japanese sauce and fish :) there were more sides, but that is normal rice and salad :) It was nice to be able to sit in there for a good period of time and talk to the girls and get to know them a little better. Tori and Jordan are my 2 high school interns and then are the youngest of the interns. They are presh and I was able to talk to them about the whole internship and what God was doing in their lives. I can tell this is going to be a great learning experience for them! After lunch we still had a good hour or so till 5me, so we met with the other teammates Rachel and Brian and went to mcDonalds. We sat together and read some of our Bibles in order to prepare our hearts for what god was going to do today during 5me! I saw a man reading the book "5 people you meet in heaven" and was very curious as to which this man was a Christian. I asked the girls what the book was about since they had read it and learned that the book is about a man that when he got to heaven there were 5 people waiting to meet him. these 5 people were not his close family or friends in life but they were random people he met throughout his life. These men had been impacted by the one man they were waiting to meet. So it seems to be such a great book and I would like to read it sometime this semester. Anyway... so I decided to go talk to the man. Well definitely not what Satan wanted and he immediately shared with me that he was not a Christian and was only reading the book because it was interesting. So I sat still for a bit still in McDonalds... a cute Japanese girl sat down beside me and by this time Katrina had joined me. This girl was studying for her coming exams and eventually we started talking to her! Come to find out she is a PT major and I got sooo excited! i went into college as a PT major and my best friend is also a PT major! it was crazy how I went to talk to the man reading the book about heaven, but Christ brought me a sweet lady who is interested in meeting with me sometime soon for dinner! So after this conversation, we returned to 5me and spoke to about 30 people as a team! God has been blessing us so much lately!! i went to starbucks to get Katrina in order for us to go back to our apartment and she had met with the sweetest girl ever! we sat down and talked to her before going to dinner. She took us along with Justin, another intern to a ramen restaurant and we had great conversations! :) She actually goes to ICU... International Christian University! God really has something in store for this contact and we are excited about her!!! :) Tomorrow I am meeting with one of my friends that I met before coming this summer... she is a contact passed on to me from a friend i go to WBU with!
PR's:
-Meeting with old contact tomorrow night
-My 2 high school interns and their summers here listening to God
-the man reading the book about heaven, that God will really speak to him through that book and he will want to know more about it!
-the presh girl I met a McDonalds, the PT major, that she does well on her tests and can meet soon for dinner and more talk about the bible
-The starbucks contacts we met today and had dinner with! she is such a person of peace!!!
Thank you so much for reading these and praying for the specific prayer requests. this nation is HIS nation!!!

So Christ really has been laying it on my heart to reach out to the girls at WBU through a women's bible study. i am a little nervous about it and giving it to Him and allowing him to use me to reach the girls at WBU! It is amazing how much Christ has been able to show me and just showing me I am capable of doing this for Him. Last semester I struggled with wanting to reach out through a girls ministry, but I was stubborn and said no. But not anymore :) I know I can do it and I feel Christ has a plan for the girls of WBU! I am excited about going home and being involved in FBC Plainview and our WBU BSM group. God has amazing plans for this semester and it continues to blow me away as I am seeing all these amazing things this summer! :D Anyway so today was campus ministry today and I was going to have lunch with one of my Japanese friends, but she was unable to join me so i had lunch by myself. My teammate brian joined me and one of his contacts did too! We were able to sit down with her and retell her why we were here and we actually got to help her with her Christianity class! She had certain passages in the new testament that she was assigned to read and has to write a summary on them. I am excited about this because I know a few of my other friends have this class as well. Perhaps they will allow me to help them understand the passages! Our Father is great! :) So after campus ministry today we went to our station to do 5ME and another intern, Dustin joined us to reach our station! We were able to talk to about 15 people in an hour a a half and God really worked through that! I was able to talk to 2 people who knew about JC! One of the women I spoke with knew a lot about the bible, but was hesitant to believe certain stories in the bible. So I was able to talk to her and share with her some of the stories that she was uncertain about. God really spoke through me during this time! Then after she left to get on to work a man came to me and wanted to practice his english. I chose to be bold and went directly to why I was in Japan and why i was doing free english lessons. He stayed and talked to me for about 45 minutes which is not normal for 5me! this was such a blessing and I learned that he learned his english from the mormons and he has been confused with what they believe and what i was presenting to him. He is interested in studying with Brian my teammate and I so I am happy that he would like to do that. the only problem is he works 24 security shifts every other day, so please pray that we will get the opportunity to meet with him. Tonight for dinner I went with one of my intern friends to eat at a sushi bar. He ate many different things than I did, so that we could try the different ones :) My favorite was the crab! lol I learned how to say no wasabe in Japanese from one of my friends, so now when I go again I can ask for no wasabe! I like it and all, but I love the sushi more without it! :D Today was a great day and Christ really blessed our team!
prayer requests:
-the many contacts we have on our university
-our friends in the Christianity class at Seikei and an opportunity to help them with their reading passages from the Bible!
-the woman i spoke with today during 5me... clarity in stories in the bible
-the man i also spoke with that has been mixed in with mormons
-mitaka station and 5me!!! It is picking up!
-our remaining time in japan and reaching out to these precious people

Tuesday is my day off and I have been busy updating my blogs like I do every week and i have been replying to emails! Thank you so much for all the emails and all the support you guys have given me while I have been here in Japan! I love opening my email account and seeing the prayers coming in through the emails! It means the most and i thank God for giving me such amazing brothers and sisters who support the sharing of the Gospel in this nation! Thank you! :D Today I got to spend a lot of time with the Lord and able to relax and refocus for these coming weeks! They are going to go by so fast and I know i am going to be sad when we finally leave. it will be a bitter sweet moment for me because though I am excited to go back to WBU!!! i am sad to leave this nation! God has a plan and as you can see and read slowly they nation is turning to HIM! So today I watched the movie "UP" and it was hilarious :) It was great to sit alone and relax and fall asleep and wake up and watch more of the movie and so on :) I washed clothes today :) I know I have mentioned this before, but I enjoy washing clothes and just the chore of washing and drying and folding and putting them up :) I am funny I know! i have been told, so you can think it too! lol So I know yesterday i shared with you that I have given my relationship situation to Him :) It is exciting because I know God has the perfect man for me :) So I have chosen to stop dating for a while because I know I am not where I want to be with God when I do begin to date. I feel like I do not need an earthly relationship yet if I have yet to fix the most important relationship with HIM! Maybe it is a personal thing and hard for you reading this to understand... but hey i get it! :D Even though today was my day off and I didn't go out to our station, my teammates shared with me that today was such a good day at our station! They were able to talk to over 20 people during 5 ME !!! that is huge for us and our station is really picking up :) Tonight during prayer and worship our team of 30 in the apartment enjoyed some time together singing and praying for these Japanese hearts!
Prayer:
-please continue to lift up the hearts of the Japanese people!
-that one more person will hear HIS name :D
-Mitaka station and the sudden outburst of great numbers during 5me
-the volunteer teams that are here with us right now at other stations
-Tx SS will soon come in a week or so! prayers for them!
-all the single girl interns and allowing Christ to take charge of their husband!
-motivation for the final 3 weeks!!!

Today is Monday so as always we have meetings today! :) We shared with each other and I will share these prayer requests later in this blog! So living with 29 other people and 13 other girls you can imagine we often have a messy apartment!!! This morning was def one of those mornings when the clean freaks get frustrated with the dirty crazy kids! :) So that was a great and fun start to this morning! Def interesting to say the least, but eventually things got picked up and our apartment looks like people can actually live in it again :D Worship with all the interns and the goTokyo high school interns is so crowded BUT so amazing to see that many people praising our Father! :) It is a fun experience to squash into one room and sing together!!! Tonight after worship and bible study Katrina and some of the interns and I went to TGIFridays! This is my first American meal in a long while... I guess since May, so I was so excited :) i have enjoyed eating Japanese food and it is delish, but i needed a little American! Tonight all of the gals joined together for muffins and movies and it was SO much fun! Mondays are not only meeting days, but fellowship time for all of us interns here! We ate some amazing banana nut and mixed berry muffins that one of the girls mom brought her! We also watched the movie, "He is just not that into you" together in our kitchen :) this is such a funny movie, but it allowed all of the single girls here to pull together and be a support system for one another during our single stages in life. We all know Christ has our perfect man and we are here to be together and support one another until we are given that man! God has just shown me so much about relationships this summer and though I hate to say it... I needed it! Took a small slap to the face, but i see what he wants for my future with my husband and how I am giving it ALL to him! I don't need to worry about who or when my husband will come :) God has an amazing man who is going to be able to deal with my crazy self and we will run to our Father together!!!
Wigtake prayer requests:
-motivation in this last stress of the summer
-volunteer teams that just arrived (3) and their work here
-new contacts and getting the gospel presented to them soon
-free bible study scheduled for this week!
-some stations are still without solid contacts
-exams are soon on our campus' so our contacts are busy studying
-basketball club is coming to a close soon
-distribution and getting closer to reaching all of our area
PR's:
-the hearts of the Japanese! More and more people are hearing about JC! Pray that the are receptive to the word and can understand the importance :)
-interns and our relationship with the high school interns. that we will show Christ like love to them even in the hard moments
-3 more strong weeks or telling people about how amazing God is!
