February already! I apologize for taking so long to update (again). There are some days where I'm just so drained because I have evening classes and then I have to take the train back home. Nonetheless, it's all worth it. In one of my classes I got my first question after a bible message :) This student is actually interested in learning more about Christianity! Praise God for that. It's very encouraging to hear! Please keep this ministry in your prayer. They are looking for teachers for next Fall...so if you're a single female and is interested in serving the Lord in Japan.....then feel free to ask me about it!

My mother learned how to use skype! My brother and I never thought our mother would go near a computer..but she did it! Now we get to chat with each other...and see each other on the webcam!

We have an open-house party at my apartment in 10 days! A way to connect with our students. I'm looking forward to that! It'll be nice to chat with them outside of the classroom and church setting :) Hoping to make this into a more regular event... maybe once a month...or twice? Time to pick up the Japanese language. But body gestures are great too!

Everything is great here :) I'm healthy and happy! Weather is still good..gets a bit chilly every now and then but better than Toronto on any given day.


We had a tacoyaki party :) Don't worry guys, I'll buy the mold and make it for you when I'm home! It's basically batter with a lot of other things like ginger, onions, cabbage...and whatever you want to throw in there. We even put in chocolate at one point..... :|


Kristy and I made chocolate chip/banana "muffins" with the "oven setting" in the microwave. It turned out alright...looks kind of..."different" from the normal muffins we bake in the oven. But hey, I guess it's the effect of radiation! Ha..but here is the cross section of our deadly creation....eating half of it destroyed us.


I made fried rice...and cupped them (with a mold) into these shapes! Okay, it was my day off..so I had time to have fun with my food.


Some of my students :)

Alrighty, that's all for now. E-mail me if you want more details about how I'm doing in life...or in general..or if you just want to catch up :)
