Who is teaching who?

Today as the children were going out for children's church, Cameron got
to the door and said, "samui!" (cold!) Later, he was singing to himself,
"dekinai, dekinai" (can't do it, can't do it). He is really starting to
learn Japanese! Mr. Miyazono said, "Cameron's pronunciation is really
good. It won't be long before he can act as your interpreter." Thanks
alot...as if I didn't feel that my Japanese was bad enough...

Good news! The rainy season has officially started! And I heard it
should be a really wet rainy season, unlike last year when the rice
paddies were drying up. Lots of rain means all of the bugs will be
looking for a dry place to hide, like our house...

Today, we had a Japanese missionary to a closed country reporting to the
church. He hadn't been here in 12 years! That's a long time between
reports. I learned that it is much easier for a Japanese missionary to
get into this closed country than it is for an American. Any Japanese
can visit this closed country for at least a few weeks (I forgot how
long exactly) WITHOUT a visa! Several Japanese missionaries live in Hong
Kong or Taiwan and travel to this closed country regularly to assist
national Christians. This just reinforced my belief that a strong church
in Japan is the key to reaching Asia. Pray for more workers for Japan!
