Greetings Gang!
Thank you all so much for your prayers, and posts. Knowing that you guys are supporting us really does encourage us all!
Today was a fun day of sight seeing, walking, and shopping with the students. We had Yu, Natalie, Suguru, Haris, Yui, and another girl (who`s name I can`t remember) come with us today. We went to the top of tokyo tower, wich had an amazing view of the entire city (MASSIVE); went to Osaksa, a place with shrines and old arcitecture; and wen to Harajuku, which is a shiek shopping district combining elements of big city and small town with huge clothing stores and little t-shirt shops.
It is absolutely amazing how many students we are spending time with. Yuu, Natalie, & Haris we have spent time with before. But Suguru, Yui, and the other girl are all new to us. ( they have been with the church doing other stuff before though… Yui came to Dallas on a homestay program with PCPC & Oyumino). We would love it if you would continue to pray for all of them to come to Christ.
Haris (one of the students, who is still in high school, and is from Nepal) has a relatively unique situation. He will be leaving Japan soon to head back to Nepal. This means that, unlike the other students, he will only have a few months left to spend with the long term missionaries here before he is gone. We spent a lot of time with him today, and found out that he is Hindu (or Hindi…?) . Terry was able to talk talk to him at dinner tonight to tell him what we believe as Christians. We hope that this helped to plant a seed in his heart for Saving Faith. We were able to give him a Bible, also. We really want him to know how much the Lord loves him. Please pray that he will have many other opportunities to hear about Jesus both now in Japan, and when he goes back to Nepal.
Love you guys, TGIF!! Thank you all again for praying for us!!

Sooo great to get these updates. Lottie you do a really good job. Terry, I am so thrilled that you got to touch the life of someone connected with Nepal. Brought back the days of Sudeep I am sure. God works in such wonderous ways. Just praising His name this morning. Praying for all of you for your safety and for your STRENGTH and ENDURANCE through the Lord. Love to all, Betty
