...day...eighteen..

6/14

It is SUNDAY which means the one day all the interns get to join together at one ministry site and have fun spreading HIS name! So we are at our ministry park today and had worship this morning with all the interns, all the M's and their families, and all of our volunteer teams! Right now we have the Kansas Nebraska Super Summer team, the University of Mobile team, the Jim Russell team, and the FBC Newnan choir team! We have been so blessed this summer with volunteers and our summer will continue to send us more volunteers! Our bible study today was over Acts 5:1-11 and I was leading two interns. two Kansas Nebraska girls and myself through it. I feel like we all were able to take something out of the bible study and truly apply it to our lives. God has continued to show me things everyday! I love being so close to him and his people and pray that even when I go home and not directly connected to those working to further his kingdom that I will still be able to live a life like this! I have so many ideas to work with at WBU and can not wait to return for the fall semester and volleyball season! SO EXCITED, but God is using me here right now this summer and that is what I am staying focused on :) Anyway I was able to sit down and talk to a few of our volunteer girls here and just invest in them a little bit! I also can not wait to invest in my two precious high school girl interns that will join Brian and rachel and I soon! Today, like every Sunday is park evangelism day at our whole team's park! I enjoyed reading a lot and being able to catch up on my own things before going out. I love being able to prepare my heart and go to HIM before starting my day! I got to read a little more in my book - Screwtape Letters- and I still highly recommend it to everyone :) Today our team went out and did several different ministry areas. We had groups playing soccer (FAVORITE), painting faces, riding bikes (sweet!), and playing frisbee. We invited our friends here to join us at the park and just have fun! I was taking pictures today of the different teams and group activities! Katrina my good friend was able to see one of her contacts today and it was such a BLESSING! She is almost there are ready to receive Christ, she cried over her sins last night! God is speaking!!! PTL :D There was a Bible study at the park today with one of the interns and the contact asked JC into his heart!!! Also there was a BS with an older man tonight and my teammate Brian. we met this older man and I have told you a little about him before. He has a christian friend, Mr. X he had been learning about the bible from! Well this older man prayed to receive Christ tonight and we are praying that Mr. X will come out of hiding as a Japanese christian! After the park fun and awesome fruitful bible studies Katrina, Dustin and I went to eat some amazing food :) I ate some eel tonight and it was AWESOME! I love trying all the new foods here in Tokyo!

...prayers
-The two new believers today! pray for their hearts and that they will follow through in baptism
-Mr. x and his hidden christian identity
-Interns leading the bible studies! wisdom and understanding of the culture
-The opportunities at WBU in the fall
-A friend of mine is working in Wyoming this summer and is seeing God's amazing work there! Many youth age kids have come to know Christ! Please pray for these hearts as well and their families!
