Howdy, folks.
Thanks to all of you that are checking this blog and praying for this endeavor.
Today began when we left our hotel at 6:30am to begin passing out flyers (promoting the church`s English-speaking mininstry) a local train station. After this sometimes difficult and humbling experience (as rejection was often experienced), we enjoyed egg mcmuffins at the McDonalds next to the train station.
This evening, we put on a huge Texas night, with around 30 people in attendance. This was held at the Oyumino Chapel (not Honda). We had ten students (yeah!), most of whom we had seen before. Everyone was able to connect with the students and spend lots of quality time with them over some excellent taco salad and the best pralines this side of New Orleans. It was definitely one of the best Texas nights we have ever held, and the sight of 30 people line-dancing and laughing to some twangy Texas country music was a sight to behold.
Relationships with students are going well, and it is our hope that they continue to grow closer to the long-term missionaries and hopefully to Christ after we leave.
Love you, and good moring! (We are going to bed!)

Peach,
Gamma loved the commentary about the pralines. We all enjoy reading about the good work the Lord is doing through you all. We will continue to pray for you as you witness for our Lord. Love you. B.

Hello to this great team. Can only imagine how tired you are. Just not enough hours to sleep. Praying for strength and renewed vigor to be ready for every opportunity to touch the lives of these precious students. May you all feel the strength of the Lord. Love you all, Betty
