the stuff and the happenings
Woo! After about 2 weeks I finally made it back to the internet. Since GRIT has started much has gone on. (Much of which you have seen in picture format.) It has been a very busy time full of exercise, Japanese study, English conversation classes, and much more. Recently (Monday to be precise) Jacob, the Smith family, and I traveled to Miakonojo for the ABWE field council meeting. It was great to get back with the missionaries again and begin looking toward what will be going on after GRIT is over. One of the biggest things I am looking forward to is Japanese study. Currently, several of us are studying a few hours each week but after GRIT is over I will be studying about 40 hours a week. Of course these 40 hours will be class and focused study times and be ooutside of our "people times" which, since they will be with Japanese people, will also be something akin to language study... kind of looking forward to that. Well, I'm afraid I need to get going and work on my sermon and some homework before this evening's English conversation group.PS The conversation groups are interesting this evening we have 5 people coming. They have been a great outreach tool and we have been able to share the gospel at least once at all of them. Through them we have made great connections that those of us who will be here longer will be able to follow up on. Anyway, later.

Hey, Andrew,
I thought about you the other day when I was watching the Last Samurai. If Tom Cruise's character is any indication, immersion is the best way to learn a language. "You should hear the Captain blatherin' on in Blackfoot!"
On a different note, will there be any opportunities to use your musical abilities over there?
