Japan Mission Team 1: Day 8 > 선교 일지

Greetings, family! ♥♥♥

Today was the first day of our second week here in Higashikurume!

We're learning that when you follow Jesus, routine is not always the answer.

We're learning to be flexible and open to new possibilities and continued adventure with the Lord!

We caught some nice photos of Jin, today!

Here are two.

Hi Saenuri Family! Teacher Wall-E (Claire) is protecting me from all the paparazzi! - Jin

Teacher Tiana (Victoria) joined us today!!! She is an amazing teacher, and we're so thankful for her. : )

We made kazoos during crafts time today..

Teacher Godzilla (Stanley) and Teacher Peter Pan (Chris) acted out John the Baptist baptizing Jesus today,

and the kids made a joyful noise to understand that baptisms are celebrations.. especially in heaven!

Maybe we understood too well... the sound of many kazoos kept ringing in our ears until after VBS. ^.^;

We were invited to one of our student's ballet recitals this evening! 

Pastor Kang and SMN treated us to a home bbq tonight!

The pork was so delicious, and we all enjoyed each other's company and the beautiful~ sunset.

After our night worship, we had another outing to the supermarket to eat ice cream and encourage each other by word of mouth.

It was a tiring day, but we are learning so much and having so much fun.

Please pray that we will be healthy!

Many of us have been struggling with different aches and pains recently.

Ashley's bottom wisdom teeth are impacted (growing wrong), and her left wisdom tooth began to grow at a rapid pace last week.. her cheek has been swollen since and she has dealt with much pain. She will be going to the dentist tomorrow to have it checked!

Sarah, along with all of us, has gotten bit by a lot of mosquitos. She, however, has allergies to the bites and one of her mosquito bites swelled up to be an oval larger than her hand. 

Nanyoung has been serving so much physically--helping with the Kang family and their physical labor. Her arms have been aching a lot, but she still persists to serve regardless.

Please pray that they will find strength in the Lord and that God may heal them!

Please pray that the rest of us will receive love from our God so that we can be vessels of His love and joy. : )

Please pray for our kids and their parents!

Please pray for God's will to be done!

Please pray that we will do our best!

Please pray that we will learn more about being God's children. : )

We love you and Thank you,

Stanley, Chris, Hannah, Timmy, Victoria, Sarah, Ashley, Claire, Nanyoung, and Amy
