God is truly good

Dear Everyone,
I just got back from a wonderful day filled with fellowship, juicy teryaki burgers, and more English Bible (hope you're satisfied clay) studies. I felt much better today than I have been and I thank all of you who prayed for my well being. We started the day a bit later than usual due to a busy schedule yesterday which went without a nap that we have been accustomed to getting. After having the usual cereal and leftovers for breakfast we headed out for a KGK Bible study at Kyoto University.
As is the college custom, no one is ever one time and so we started a bit later than we anticipated and ended up just fellowshipping/praying for each others needs. After that Bible study it was right on to another which was about a mile down the street. We arrived to our second English Bible study a bit early. Just to remind you, these Bible studies are advertised all over the college campuses as a way to attract people to work on and their English while also educating them on Christianity. Today's lesson was even more powerful than the first.
We had three adults who attended, two of which were not Christian. Me and teammate got a chance to share our testimonies which was really enlightening to the two non-Christians and very encouraging to the only Christian lady. We studied the story of the paralyzed man whose friends lowered him thru the roof to Jesus. The Bible study was only supposed to run around an hour but ended up close to two and a half. I really sensed the Lord there as He spoke from His Word and thru His servants to the non-believers. It was an encouragement to me seeing as how afterwards all the adults intently desired to attend again not only for English practice but for spiritual education. The pastor from the church service we went to earlier in the week was present and asked me to share with the church again thru song. So I will be singing another a cappella song which I am very excited about. I look forward to not only praising the Lord but hopefully encouraging my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord. Pray that the Lord will reveal the right song to me and that it will touch someones life.
After leaving that wonderful Bible study, it was time to eat and come home. We ate a place called Mos Burgers which was really delicious and satisfying. One of my favorite aspects about Japan right now is the food no matter whether I have had it or not. I am quite tired and looking forward to resting and getting up for a new day tommorrow. Continue to pray for the English Bible studies that the Lord would draw people to Himself thru an interest in language...


Only By Grace,
