Hey!
Our new English classes have started up this week. We have 8 different classes that people have signed up for and 1-2 students in each. I get to teach the English Music and Lyrics class and am really excited about that. There is one student in that class. There is also an English Bible Class which has two students in it, one of which is not Christian. That is something to definitely praise God for. I am also assisting one of the English teachers (Wendy) in her classes on Thursday in Fujigaoka. It is a very full day with 8 classes. I leave home at 7 am and don't get home until 10 that night. I really enjoy assisting those classes and look forward to getting to know the students better. Please pray for us that we would be able to teach English effectively and have the courage and boldness to share the Gospel with our students and other people we meet. I have been growing in my faith a lot during my time here. God has been teaching me about patience a lot and that sometimes I have to wait. I have been learning to trust God and trust that He has great things in store for me. I am really learning to wait on God. Please continue to pray for the people of Japan that there hearts would be open to God's truth and love. Pray that God will fill us with joy. Pray that we will be shining lights for God here. Pray that we will continue to grow in our faith and spend time with God regularly and spend time in prayer. Tomorrow in church one person is getting baptized and two people are coming into membership and giving their testimonies. Pray that it would go well and that the man getting baptized would not back out. Pray for the believers in Japan as well that they would stay strong in their faith and be bold in their faith. I am very excited to see how God is going to work here and in our lives. Until next time, Sayonara
