Hey, guys! I can't believe it's been 2 weeks so far. Time has flown by soooo fast! I'm over my first hard week of adjustment. Getting used to a new time zone, new culture, different food, learning train-riding strategies (such as memorizing which lines to take we're, when, etc), budgeting, and just fighting off the devil's constant attacks is mostly over. God is helping me get through everything. He obviously has a big plan for this. I'm his servant, ready to work for him.
Nowadays I'm just living life. Last Monday I was going to go with a missionary family that arrived on Saturday, but someone called me last minute and asked if there was anyone available to watch a 6-month baby while his mom attended a care group. Why in the world not? I am here to serve, and that was a chance I quickly jumped at. :) Later that day several of my friends (The girl Yuuki, Wam, Tye and Ben came over and we all did homework or language practice. That night Yuuki emailed me asking if she could come over and hang out with me the next day. !!!!!!!!!!!! I've wanted to for a while! So Tuesday after our missionary and Fuse planning meetings and prayer were over (which, btw, we're wonderful! Tim and Christine Huber are back from their trip, so they made breakfast for the team. We all ate a wonderful meal before diving into important matters the King gave us to do), we headed up to a university, 25 minute's walk from the Noborito church. Yuuki, Wam, Yuki, and some of their friends were there and we all had lunch together before heading back. Rosie and Yuuki and I went to the basement and practiced our languages together. My brain was fried from trying to figure out how to say things. In Japanese, the verbs are ALWAYS at the end of a sentence, but the other words can be mixed up and still be understood. So confusing. After that, we girls did our nails before heading to a restaurant. The night before, on fb, I had mentioned wanting rice. Yuuki saw that and offered to let us go eat rice somewhere. :) She was so sweet! That was also during the typhoon night, however. So we fought the wind and rain with our umbrellas. Hahah
The next couple days have been relaxing. I'm just hanging out at the church, available whenever someone wants to hangout. Tonight we are having out dinner and games in the basement, tomorrow I'm going with Rosie and Yuuki to Tokyo, and Sunday will be Fuse, and my 3rd Sunday in Japan!! :) God is good. He knows what he's doing.
