Oooo.....
I am soooo tired. Andrea and I woke up early this morning to talk with our Evan in Japan. It was a good chat. I really do miss the kid. It is so strange how I could almost forget the way he sounds. Well I'm off to play Narnia with my little bro. 'Till next time.

*suspence*
So, yesterday our Sensei told me and Andrea that he may have a chance for us to go back to Japan!!!!! He says it will be much less excpensive then before. I am sooo excited! I can hardly believe it! But.... it is not final yet so we can't be to excited. (as if I'm not already syked) :)
It would be sometime in 2009, and Sensei has challenged us to learn as much Japanese as possible before then. (any suggestions?) He also wants us to take a few courses to learn how to teach English as a second language and to learn how to share the gospel. It sounds like it's going to be a rocky year this year but I'll take whatever God gives me! Whatever He gives me the strength to handle.

Sunday Fun
I had a pretty amazing day today. Our pastor's message was soo uplifting. And the music! I couldn't believe it! They played, almost exclusively, hymns! I was so proud of them. Normally all they play are praise songs which to me seem very self centered and definitely not about glorifying God.
Then we continued with our Sunday school lesson on Creation vs. Evolution. Very cool. The teacher talked about the flood, and evidence for the ark, and showed a very well done video of what the flood may have looked like. I should really expound but I don't have time.... maybe later.
After an awful night of sleep (due to almost demonic dreams-perhaps satan was at it again?) the morning was very refreshing.
And there was even more! Believe it or not.
We stayed for Japanese church at 1:00 and the church picnic at 3:00. It was great to see the Hamematsu's again. I love those guys.... :) Hey, added it's a good way to get the language fresh in my mind.
The church picnic was okay but, you know any picnic where you can consume coke and cotton candy for FREE, is going to be at least okay. :D
It rained so we didn't get to do it outside, (which is MUCH better) and hardly any of my friends where there and the ones that were, pretty much ignored me..... what can I say, I'm popular. But my own sister was there with me so's it was okay.
After that we headed to the B.'s house for our little Sunday study. It was very good. We are on "Thy will be done" in the Lord's prayer study. It is fascinating to dig deeper into the meaning. All around a very good day, for sure.
