Smuggled

The joy of reading very few books is that I really like the ones I read! God's Smuggler is definitely one of the most enlightening stories ever written. I've actually been experiencing a fair amount of guilt for the past two days after learning about actual individuals and even whole churches with no Bible. Why don't I cherish every opportunity to read God's Word? But, just now, as I was folding my laundry and making my bed, I refused to move my Bible to its not so uncommon alternative place, the floor. My Bible is too precious to sit on the ground and will have a higher place on a shelf and hopefully more frequently in my hands.

16 hours

I'm now back in CA where 16 hours were restored to me. It's still crazy to me that Japan is almost a whole day ahead of us!

Now that I'm getting adjusted to the time difference, I'm realizing that I'm mostly adjusted to the cultural differences too. Running on the left side of the road, throwing both paper and plastic trash into the same can, and leaving my shoes on inside...it just takes me a while to stop bowing. But I'm still realizing how amazing my trip back to Tokyo was. I'm so thankful for the people I got to visit there!!! And thank you for praying for our trip!!! There are pictures on facebook and I tried to load a video on here but failed. I'll keep working on showing the skit some of my teammates performed for Japanese students (and I'll put it on facebook.) The last outreach went well just like the first, and three people decided to trust Christ with their lives! ♥
