Day 25 & 26: Yesterday, Saturday, was our last free Saturday on project... TIME IS FLYING BY TOO QUICKLY!!! We spent the day at Tokyo Disneyland and it was sooo fun! The weather stunk and it was crowded but it was an amazing day! Maki, Lillian, Hideo, and Paul (a core student from the UH movement) met us there and honestly, spending the day with them was awesome!! It was cool that it was our day off and yet, we got to invite some really special friends to come with us! My favorites of the day would definitely have to be "One Man's Dream" (a show) and Mickey's Philharmagic (4D show) as well as Winnie the Pooh! Now, I love Disneyland in Cali, but there are some things we should learn from the Japanese! :)
Sunday, this morning, had an awesome meeting with Ryan Ito and Abi Arakawa. They have done a phenomenal job leading the campus team and just seeing that this week is going to be hard not just for them but for the team as we begin to wind down and finish well and bring closure to the amazing people God has crossed our paths with... from there, came back, took a short nap, grabbed lunch, and then headed to church. Maki and Jan as well as another student Steven Arita and Cherise Osaki met came to church too! Praise God! I found myself just praying soooooo hard that His love would touch their hearts someway today in service and that he would meet them wherever they were at. Such an awesome thing that they came today!!! We sang Kari Jobe's You are Good and it was just a reminder of just how good He is and that I want these people to know that on a personal level! Continue to pray for them too and for us as we share Him with them this week. My heart wants so much for them to be a part of this family of God!!!! Afterward, grabbed coffee with Lyndsey and Yurika and just had some good, needed connection time before our team meeting. Been having headaches again so please pray for those... :T Otherwise, team meeting went really well.
Please be praying for our team this week as we finish well. Please pray for team unity! Pray that we would be able to get the closure we need before heading out and that ultimately, we would continue to be compelled by Christ's love in everything we do. Pray for Gen and I as we lead and again, that we would be completely surrendered and dependent on what He has! Today was the first day I really began to get sad about leaving and having to say goodbye to all the new friends we've met... knowing that it will always seem like we need more time. Pray for our team retreat this weekend that it would be restful and a time of celebrating what the Lord has done! Crazy it's coming to an end... thanks for all your prayers!!!
