The End Is Near...

My apologies to all for my lack of pictures and blogs. The end stretch is finally here, and one large trip away from being done. The final trip is to Ooshima, an island off the coast of Tokyo/Yokohama. This will be four days long, from Friday through Monday, and will include a number of 'pair talks' with the students. After this trip, all that is left is a day off, a day for cleaning, and departure. This is the last opportunity to connect with the students. Please pray for two friends of mine here, Hiro and Tomohito, whom I have gotten to know rather well since I have come to Japan.

I had not blogged in awhile, so I decided it was about time to do so. Things here in Japan have been up and down, to be certain, but I shall spare you the details. We have had numerous events with the students here in BEST club, including a trip to Kyoto. Through these we have been able to learn more about each of the students, and which ones we connect with the most. Thus far, I seem to relate well with two, by the names of Tatsuya and Hiro. Both of these are great guys whom I look forward to spending more time with. Please pray that I will be able to connect with these guys and speak to them in such a way that interests them in the Bible (or something to that extent). I have no idea what they believe.
