Celebrate it is Sunday :)
Today was a great time at church in the park and we are so excited about our teams that are here with us right now! We now have three teams that are with us this week! We have a college aged group from different cities in Missouri, a World Changers group, and an intern from last summer brought a team for this week! We also have a team from Cincinnati that has been here for 3 weeks but is leaving this week. Today was such a blessing!!! i know in my blogs I seem to say this a lot, but i truly mean it every time that i say it! During park ministry today i was sitting with a few girls and we were reading the WORD :D and a lady with her 2 children came up! After a little short talk in english we had an intern who studies Japanese in college come over and talk to her! Come to find out she is interested in bible study! We were so excited about this because she lives at the exact station that one of our M's live! We were able to play with her precious children while she talked on the phone with our M! God blessed us tremendously :D While she was on the phone she trusted us to watch and play with her children in the park while she was on the phone for at least 20 minutes! i had so much fun playing with the handsome little boy :) I love children and it breaks my heart that some of the Japanese children will grow up not knowing who JC is, but I pray that this mom will learn and accept our JC!!! After this great moment of God's, we sat there so blessed and talked about how amazing our father is! It started to sprinkle a little later, so we packed up and headed back to the cave for dinner. Tonight was a rough night in the patience category! With 30 people living in one basement and can get really loud and though we love each other we still get annoyed!!! :D
