7/15/10 -The first day I put a title.

Sorry I accidentally just posted the date on the previous post.

Today's campus time was the most productive campus time this week. I met up with two of my contacts, Moto and Sato. I met up with Moto for lunch and we talked about a lot of deep things. I asked him if he had any stereotypes about Americans, and if Japanese people had any stereotypes with other Japanese people. I also asked him what he thought love was. All of his answers were pretty interesting because they were from the viewpoint of a native Japanese person. It even got deep enough for me to bring up the Gospel. I talked about God's love and how it's perfect, but it was kind of hard for him to understand. I was a bit sad because he said that it's hard for him to fully understand religions in general. After about 2 hours of just talking, he had to go study. I was so drained by that conversation because I had expected Moto to be more open to the Gospel. Then at 3pm I met up with Sato. It was cool because Sato had texted me and asked ME if I wanted to meet up. I hadn't seen Sato in 2 weeks, so I thought he just forgot about me. When I met up with him, it was cool just catching up. And since I knew that Sato was interested in Christianity, I just brought it up randomly without feeling awkward. Our team was given some manga books that explained the Gospel. So I gave him one and went through it with him. To my surprise, he understood almost everything! The only thing he didn't know about was Jesus, so I explained to him that Jesus died for our sins. At the end, I asked him if he understood everything and he said yes! Then I asked him if I could pray for him right there, and he said yes! Praise God! So I said a short prayer asking God to watch over Sato and bless his life. It was the first time that I've ever prayed for someone like this, and all I could say was that it was all God. After the prayer I asked Sato if he wanted to accept Christ into his life right now, but he said not yet. I asked him if he would ever want Jesus in his life and he said probably! That's better than no! It took me a couple of hours to process everything that just happened, but God is so good. While I was processing, I was just thinking about how small and insignificant I am and how much I need God in my life. All I can do right now is lift up Sato and Moto to God and let Him do the rest. There's literally no words that can describe how I'm feeling right now.
