Sorry for the mistake, I accidentally clicked enter after putting my title and it just posted the date. A thousand apologies to the 10 people who've read my blog =]
In the morning the leaders had a meeting at 8am, so that meant I had to wake up at 7:30. Bleh. The meeting went really smoothly, and it was cool to see how the directors worked with each other. I'm trying to soak up everything from these meetings, so that one day I may be able to lead a team to Japan (But that's not for a long, long long, long time) After our meeting, it was our personal time with the Lord. I went to the store around the corner to get some breakfast, and ate it under a tree in front of the store. After I finished eating, I read a passage from John and meditated on it for a while. Then I went back home to listen to worship music. At around 11:45, our team left for our campuses. I ate lunch in the cafeteria with Andy, Carrie, Jared and Cindy. We ate pretty quickly because we all wanted to start our ministry time. We split up into guys and girls groups because the girls wanted to go together. We walked to the information station, and found out there was an English group, a Christian group, and a Glee club! I was excited about all 3! Then at 2:40, we met up with Sato (the contact that we met last thursday). We talked to him for a good 2 1/2 hours about a lot of things, but wasn't able to get into a spiritual conversation. It's okay though, because I feel like we got closer to Sato on a personal level. And I know God will give us the perfect opportunity to bring it up, we just have to stay patient and trust the Lord. At around 5, we had to go back to the house. I feel like today was a long day, but a good day as well. I really need rest right now because I feel physically drained. Please pray for strength for our entire team, because the humidity is really zapping our energy during the day. I miss all of you so much, and I can't wait to see you all in 5 weeks.

Shawn,
ReplyDeleteGlad you are taking time with the Lord. Aren't you glad that he renews your
strength each day. Will be praying for Sato that the Lord will give you an
opportunity to share spiritual matters with him. PShin gave a great message on Christ walking on water and how Peter met him and sank.
It was the turning point of Peter's life because he really tested Christ and
he saved him. Failure became his turnaround point in his life. Have been
praying for your folks. Carl
Hope you're able to keep up your strength. What is your mail address out there?
