In the Garden...literally

Dear Everyone,
When I say in the garden I mean in the garden. I awoke this morning after a late night and was told we would be doing some gardening. Apparently the Japanese-English translation of that means "breaking one's back to pull weeds in the rain". Once I learned this I was kind of apprehensive about the day, but you know God can even teach you something when its raining on you and you're pulling weeds.
As I labored for two hours and pulled weeds, I had an opportunity to just sing to the Lord and think over the trip thus far. Before I knew it, I was already done with my weeding. I give the Lord praise because we had the rest of the day to catch up on our rest and just relax.
I really enjoyed the afternoon and had it to look forward to sharing my testimony, which went well. Again, I got to sing with Cory and we had a great time of worship and praise to the Lord. As soon as that was over, it was time for me to share my testimony. I really believe the Lord used it to encourage people and it was an interesting experience to say one sentence and then have it translated. But it was well worth the wait. After the service the team and I sat around and fellowshipped for a few hours. I'm fairly tired now but wanted to share with you about today. Continue to pray for Kyoto Christian Fellowship and that their ministry would continue to reap the harvest because the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Thank you for all your support and I look forward to sharing more.


Only By Grace,
Cody
