Leaving a place I love....

to go to another place I love. This is bittersweet. I have fallen in love with the people of Japan, this city, all the members of the IMB Tokyo and all the friendships we have made!! This is such an amazing place and these people have such potential, they are just so lost... and that's what hurts the most. PLEASE KEEP JAPAN IN YOUR PRAYERS!

Wednesday we went to Tsuda College and had a great time playing games, singing and getting to know the girls of the Bible study.

Today we had debriefing and got to receive some sweet proof that we played a role in helping the Japanese come one step closer to knowing Christ. They made us an incredible DVD of pics and us singing. If you remember, ask me to see it and I will show it to you. I am very proud.

After that we had lunch at Momopara (my most favorite Skiaki restaurant) and then sang, attempted 5 minute English, played frisbee and had a photo shoot (seriously)....

The best part of the day was the end... The "Friendship Party".. God brought a good number of people and we all had a lot of fun together and I got to share the Gospel to Chiaki, so that is such a great feeling. The we all had ice cream at "Sweden's" and laughed some more and here we are.. packing our things.

I will write more when I get home and gather my thoughts... I also have a TON of pictures.

I LOVE JAPAN!!!

Gwen Stefani concert, here I come...

MY SONG FOR THE SUMMER:

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus
- Hillsong: Mighty To Save
