7/3/09

So today was another amazing day at our campus! It was just Tori Jordan and I with Brian having the day off and rachel spending time with her mom! We were so excited for rachel and her mom being in Japan! So today I had lunch plans to meet with one of the 2 girls Brian and I met on Wednesday! This was such a huge prayer request and lunch went amazing! She and I went to eat in the cafeteria and I got a new dish that I hadn't had before! She laughed at me saying I was adventurous and I was so full after I ate! We enjoyed great conversation while we had lunch together and I was so excited that afterward she gave me a sweet hug and asked for lunch again another day! Our Father is so amazing :) He continues to bless our days here in japan and send people in our direction that are seeking after something more! After lunch my new contact had to go back to class so I headed out to my home on campus- the soccer fields :) i went out there and prayed over the guys out there playing soccer! I though about getting out there and playing with them, but I was in a dress once again and the girls this time weren't in dresses playing! Maybe another time that I am on campus I will go out there with them! Anyway so while I was out there praying over them I was able tot talk to one of our guy friends we had made a few weeks ago and ask about his girlfriend. His girl asked Christ into her life a few weeks ago, but has yet to respond to brian or I for bible study. At 2 today the three of us went to one of our Christian faculty members classroom and were able to help the students learn english! They have a test coming up soon and we were able to do review with them! I had so much fun because that is like another home for me :) For those of you who don't know I am going to school to be an education major, so of course I love being in the classroom! After this class we left between classes and went and had a snack before returning for the next class! I was so excited to be in this particular class because I have a few contacts in this classroom that I hang out with! So I got to see my friends and help one of the same guys I helped last time on his test! they had reviews over clothing, movies, music, and other American things! It was fun to interact and be able to teach them about myself and help them understand things in the USA! After both classes were over we headed toward the station for me to go meet one of my friends at Starbucks and the girls went to our park to pray over it! It ended up that she was unable to come and meet me in Shibuya, but says soon she hopes she can! This contact was passed on to me from a friend that i got to school with at Wayland. My friend met her last summer when he was serving in japan on a 10 day trip, so I am trying to connect with her now that I am here! Christ has a plan :D I ended up going to dinner with Katrina and Caleb at another favorite place to eat here in Shibuya! It was a fun night :)
