So yesterday, my first day of teaching,
was...harder than I thought.
It was stretching for me!
Which is super good!
And it pushed me to work even harder on prepping my classes for the next day.

And today was wonderful!
My Bible class was over 20 minutes early.. again
But we had a really good discussion about Japanese culture!
We were reading about Pilate today, and I brought up the fact that he was experiencing the fear of man (because he was scared that a riot would occur if he didn't let Barabas go instead of Jesus). I went to Galatians 1:10 and after we talked about the correlation of the fear of Pilate and the verse, Japanese culture was brought up. It was so intriguing.

You can't walk up to a Japanese person and ask about faith, the gospel, or anything.
You just can't.
The best way is to have friendship.
The Japanese people want peace--
they would never do something to interrupt one's peace.
They are so polite...
I think America could use a little politeness.

During class, sometimes it would get quiet and I was thought maybe I was being boring or they didn't understand... but at end of class I asked how I did, and they told me that Japanese don't show expression- so for me not to worry :)

I missed lunch today :(

In due to this 93 degree weather,
I made up (changed words to) a song.
Oh Frosty the snowman,
Can you hurry up this way?
Can you wave hello saying,
"Don't you cry,
I told you I'd be back someday."
(alternative ending: I will never leave your side)

I don't think I've ever slept as good in my whole life as I do here!
I haven't dreamt every night in a long time...
---!
AHhhh,oh yes!
I have a challenge for you:
For one week, write down 1 thing that God has blessed you with THAT day.
After that one week, try to do another week.
=] Even in the hard times, there is still something to be thankful for!
