Ahhh...

A beautiful day it was :) We went to Zanpa beach this morning for about an hour, blue water and white sand. Then after lunch we went to the Thousand People Cave (I don't know if that's what it's really called, but that's what Pastor Tommy calls it haha.) Crazy WWII historical significance there. Absolutely beautiful! Then we went to a private beach for a little over two hours. Never swam so much in my life! Well, that's probably not true, but still... A few caves in the cliffs there, too. Thousands of sea cucumbers, tons of sea urchin, lots of sea glass, blue water, white sand, wonderful breeze, and perfect water. Ahhh....

Here in Japan, they drive on the wrong side of the road, separate their trash by "combustible" and "incombustible," wave (which is apparently not rude *ahem*,) slurp noodles (a funny sight haha,) and so much more.

Well, gotta go to a men's BBQ! Miss you guys and I'm praying for all of you!

Love,

Amazing =)

I am here in Japan and amazed! It is so much more than I had imagined! I am so glad to finally be here after nearly two years of prayer and longing. The Lord definitely answers prayers! =D Worship was amazing, it is so neat to sing familiar worship songs in English and in Japanese. The flight was long and I didn't get any sleep, but I was able to sleep well last night ;) I have nearly hit my head on almost every doorway here HAHA! Anyway, I am here and I am safe and I am ready to serve the Lord and His people. I miss you guys, but I honestly don't long to go back :P

God bless you all,
John-Michael
