Study Time...

Joel and I returned from Miyakonojo Wednesday after 3 days of work on missionary Chris Sadowitz's house. Chris is hoping to move in October and need some help with a few jobs requiring more than one person. I am so glad I am not a builder!

After returning home I received the news that Pastor Kishimoto wants me to preach on Sunday. I am glad he is confident enough in my Japanese ability to ask me this late but I would still like more time to prepare! However, I am working on a series on sanctification so I am not totally starting from scratch. I do need to learn several new words each time I preach though. This time I needed to learn the word for "mission", as in the mission of the chuch is to develop disciples who are developing disciples. Pastor Ohara is trying to get the church interested in discipleship training so maybe this message will help him explain why it is important.

It is Saturday morning and time for a long run, a little over one hour. I see just a little sun and it sounds like the rain may be about to stop. It's gonna be a great day!
