Thanks!!!  (Posted by Ritsu)

WARM UP
During the English Conversation activity today, Colin, who just arrived from Okinawa, asked us    "Do you know how can we tell the difference the real Japanese or Japanese Hawaiian?"  We didn't know. The answer was
 "Real Japanese bows, but the Hawaiian Japanese nod their faces." (It's so true!!!)
Each time Colin visits us, he gives us a good laugh!  He is such a funny guy.
 
As for Ice Break, Wayne prepared a very good quiz game. We were all excited about which team is going to win.  Red team? or Blue team?

After the ice break, Kanako shared her testimony about Jesus to her friend. At first her friend didn't want to listen but her friend's heart got softened so she listened to what Kanako spoke. (Praise the Lord!)
 
WORSHIP 
Colin led the worship today. (Pastor Elmer joked that he himself is a Hawaiian but who can't play Ukulele, but Colin is the "Real Hawaiian man" who can play Ukulele.)
When I heard this,  I thought to myself. I can't pray Shamisen, so that means I'm fake Japanese!  Yes, I am!!!
 
MESSAGE
We watched a DVD about this Professor Howard Storm who had a serious case of stomachache and passed out in the hospital. He saw his body in the ER then followed these people and voices down the corridors for miles. They started to pull at him and bite him. He felt as if he was in a kind of hell. Then he called out to Jesus and Jesus talked and comforted him. He was then sent back to earth. That's his story. God bless.
 
REFRESHMENTS
Robert got us some nice and soft beef jerky and Colin brought us Cashew nut chocolate. They were so yummy!  We were totally spoiled by American products today!
