First couple days....
So this is our second official day and its pretty cool so far. I spent the first night at the Tonokura's last night. That was interesting...not in a bad way of course :) None of them speak very good english but its so cool that they're trying! They all are so sweet! Yesterday for lunch we went to a Curry house. It actually (to my surprise) was very good. Today we went to a Tempura place and again was pretty tasty. I had shrimp, eggplant and green beans with pasta stuff and some barley tea.....I'm kinda liking this Japanese food :) So today we went over the english lessons and are kinda hanging out until 2 when two ladies are coming for a lesson with Mrs. Takahashi and we're going to watch. Mrs. Tonokura is one of the ladies. She wants to learn more english so she can talk to me (she's so sweet). Tomorrow we have church and a welcome lunch. Matt, Kai and I are going to teach Sunday School. Monday we're going to the Emporer's Palace and to a Buhddist Shrine thing....interesting. Yoshiet said the Shinto and Buhddist people are ok with every religion but they don't choose Christianity because we are so exclusive only believing in one true God. It is so sad to see so many people here without Christ. Out of 1,000 people only 4 profess Christ but only 2 go to a Bible believing church. I'll post some pictures later...i'm not on my computer right now. So english lessons start on Tuesday. I get to "teach" Mrs. Hatomi and Tomo (both are fluent in english they just want practice) and then I have one student with I think two children who is a beginner. Its going to be a fun trip! I'll post another update as soon as something else exciting happens. Feel free to leave comments....Japanese kids are soooooo cute! love you guys!!!

I'm so glad that you're getting a chance to enjoy Japan. I know this is a new, exciting (and yes, even a difficult and scary) time for you. I wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers and that I love ya! I miss you already...
Hugs!
