July 29th

God never ceases to amaze us. Through the Holy Spirit`s guidance our team members were matched with home stay families who are meant to be together. I can see the giftings and personal experiences come to life as the Lord uses each of each to minister to our host families. Several people have had the opportunity to share the gospel and others are simply showing the love of our Savior through their kindness and compassion. Please continue to pray for hearts to be open to the redemption He provides.

Our team enjoyed a day filled with outreach activities. Denise shared her delicious recipe of pineapple cake - we had a Math lesson with converting to the metric system of measuring different amounts. Then Cyndy shared how to cook pasta primavera. Several of the women in Sanda tried to find fresh grated parmesan cheese, but that wasn`t available. Oh well. The powdery grated cheese did the job and everyone said the pasta was oishii (tasty) after all. Our team members  rehearsed for line dancing scheduled for tomorrow. And even though we were sweaty, we practiced our Zumba steps. Ok, that`s it for now, time for oyasuminasai (bed time).
