It still smells like burning! I am told that farmers are now burning up their fields since harvest is over, so it smells like burning all day. Then, it doesn't really help when I live on the 7th floor. Hehe..however, I am very thankful for being here. God has provided more than enough for me. Aside from the materialistic aspect such as a roof over my head (might I add, a 3 bedroom apartment for one of me...and a bidet that I dare not to use!), He has given me a wonderful group of people to watch out for me and to care for me. Greeted by my host family for 4 days in Tokyo, I am once again greeted by even more people now that I am here in Nagoya. I have a "mom" here in Shippo, Nagoya, and she hugged me when I first met her. I was really surprised but it was very pleasant because she was excited to see me. It's amazing because we don't even know each other. Christ love. It is through Him that we can have this kind of relationship with one another. Sick :D

In Tokyo, my last day there, I went to an International Church for Sunday worship. I was blown away that morning. Worship was excellent! The first song we sang was in English, which was followed by Japanese. Not knowing how to sing the song, I just stood there and absorbed my surrounding. It was the most beautiful sound ever. It was absolutely astounding to be reminded that we all belong to God and are His children regardless of our background. Here, there were people of different ethnicity and background worshipping this one Christian God. Unity is beautiful. Imagine the things that we can do when we work together as a body. Ahhh...."You are beautiful beyond description..." (love that song).

Hmm..what else? Well, I got skype today! Anyhooooz, that's it for now. I took videos but they are too big to upload on this page. Sooooooo...too bad. Teaching starts next week :D More updates soon!
