Horn to Horn Combat









Whaoooooo, this was sweet to see another Okinawan Kustom. We got to go to a bull fight, it's just like sumo fighting but with bullz...it was pretty sweet there was Eisa dancers and really buff guys posing next to the somewhat buffer bulls. It was a blast, and really fun to watch.

Study hard...Relax easy=]








Man it was good to get a vacation, see how mid-terms were on the way it was great to just relax and get back in focus. What even almost as great was finally being able to buy a drink and get a refill! Even on Hot Chocalate!!!!mmmmmmm...we ended up going up to Okuma and just had a sweet time, its a resort reserved only for military, and since we got hook up we were able to spend 4 days 3 nights there and waaaahhhhhhhhoooo it was great we had the chance to just relax...explore...catch up on work...BANNA BOAT...and watch a the sports on a big screen tv with endless whip cream on top hot chocalets=]]]]. It was a great time and God spoke to us a lot especially those time just reading His word surrounded by gorgeous beaches in the day and numerous stars at night:).

Night at Mihama






Fun night, after the scavenger hunt we went down to Nihama and one of our bands Haku Gaijin was invited to play at a concert thing there. So they played and they did great afterwards we did some street witnessing and were able to pass out full books to the people and share with them about Christ...It was a fun night and a blessing overall, I got to see people who I havent been able to see in two years since my last visit here=].

Man this was a fun day, we had the different youth groups from New Life Academy and Foster come together for a Scavenger hunt at Mihama. It was a blast God blessed us with great whether and we ran all up and down Mihama Center. Through Dragon Palace, Jusco, American Depot...everywhere just trying to beat the other teams to finding all of the items it was a blast and we got the kuripura to prove it.

Man this is deffinitely a night I think i'll probably talk about years from now. Man it started off as a normal day we actually just planned the night before to go to a big pentecostal outreach here on island. Most of us have never really been to a pentecostal service but we just nwanted to go check it out. So on our way we did what every chubs missionaries do and stopped to get something to eat. We decided to stop by the local hotspar(like a 7/11 or AMPM) while unbeknownst to us there was a thrashing upstairs with a military man in a smoke shop. The man then came down stole from the hot spar harassed a couple people and then left. The Japanese really didnt know what to do when a couple of us decided to try and talk to this guy because in fact some of the guys with us new him. Next thing we know the police are showing trying to apprehend this, under drug infuence, man. Seeing he was in the military it took 3...4 of the officers to retain him, after about 10 minutes the guys ends up on the floor handcuffed and screaming. While the police tried to figure out the whole story with the rest of the crowd I went to the guy and tried talking to him and just trying to point him to Christ. Hopefully he remembered what I said when he woke up the next day in Japanese jail. While that was happening the other guys were speaking with his friend and through all the circumstances his friend rededicated his life to the Lord. After all this we still ended up going to the outreach, as late as we were, we ended going. That was just a different exerience in itself, only good thing I can say is I really liked th glowsticks:), and through out all of the night and it's experiences God just really showed us how much this island and country needs God and how much they hunger for HIs word and just need to know who He is. Keep this island in prayer and us as theres always things happen to stop us from doing God's work here, pray for these people and their lack of knowledge of who God really is.

New Life Academy Retreat






We had a great time hanging out with these kids and being invited to host their youth retreat. God used us in such a strong way out there it was amazing. Through all the messages and sharing His love some of the kids came to know Jesus and it was awesome to see the Lord move. Just keep all those kids in your prayers that they will stay strong with God and follow Him full heartedly, especially knowing that most of them are going back to a home that is in into the Japanese religion of ancestoral worship and buddhism. So just keep them in prayer cause i know they'll need it.
