Well it is about 4pm on December 31st, 2009. Almost 2010. It's weird to see the passing of the decade in which The entirety of my high school and undergraduate years took place. And it was almost one year ago that I found out I would be coming to Japan to do Mission work. It is incredible how much God has guided and changed my life over the course of the last decade, and also exciting to see what direction it may go in the the coming decade. I pray that everyone has a safe and fun New Year celebration, enjoy the time, and don't forget to reflect and thank God for all the blessing he has given and the trials he has gotten you through.
Happy New YEAR!!

Closer and closer to christmas time...
Each year it seems to come around faster. My first christmas season in Japan has been pretty great. People and stores here don't really "over-do" christmas decoration and sales, but there are still enough of them that you know what is going on, it's nice. A very welcome reprieve from the "black-friday" mentality.
At churches there have been alot of good events. I posted some pictures the other day and will link them here at the end of my post. A few christmas parties, some get-togethers, and lots of other fun happenings. The next few days will be pretty good/busy with various christmas parties and church services. I am certainly looking forward to them all.
So I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and (I should have another post before new years to tell you this but...) a Happy New Year!!

Well hello there!
Hello dear friends,
Can you believe.. my first semester of Japanese class is almost already finished! That is crazy! It feels like I just got here, but in reality it has been almost 3 months already! Time sure does fly. My latest newsletter can get you caught up on most of the happenings this last month. Lately things have just been getting busier in preparation for the christmas break and all the great activates that will happen in it. This friday is my first japanese speech! That is exciting, but a little nerve-racking since the audience will be mostly native japanese speakers.. After I do mine I am going to try to snag a video of it and maybe but the translation underneath and post it for yall. Wish me luck these next few busy days as classes and activates all wrap up!
