This past Thursday, we had our first class of MELT at Ryu-dai university!
For the first class, we had fun games and snacks, and just had a good time talking with the students and getting to know some new faces.
Most of the people that came were new students we hadn't met before. There also were some familiar faces too (good to see them again).
Jun, Yuka (or Yuko..gomen i forgot)
Natsuki and Anna (natsuki didn't want her face in the photo ahaha)
God has really blessed this ministry so far, it's really neat that I can be a part of this every week. The people we get to meet and help to learn english are priceless, there is nothing to trade for the chance we get to meet them. Just being a part of their lives, no matter how big or small it is, is completely amazing. This is what amazes me most about being out here and getting to do what God is letting me do. Sometimes i forget it, and i don't appreciate it when i get too far into making sure i am perfect in all I do. I miss it. But God always reminds me what it is that is amazing, and it's the hearts of these people that He wants to save.
The Okinawan and Japanese people are really unique, and have such awesome hearts and minds. Just their whole characters are so neat to get close too. God really keeps growing this love and care for them in my heart, i really wish i could see all of God's heart for them, He loves them so much.
Remember to pray for them when you think about them. They need your prayers.
God bless, more updates soon,
