nothing.

oh wow, ive been neglecting to update this for some reason or another, i have to keep up! So i have been doing a lot lately, especially homework! But now I have to get on top of chuck tracks! and get them done before the middle mark of the semester. So im starting out my first ministry at the coffeeshop, which is a movie night for the highschoolers out here in okinawa. We are not going to be showing strictly christian movies, but movies that are aimed toward the youth of today. this is not going to be so we can preach to them, but its going to be strictly to hang out with the kids and just love on them and show them that this coffee shop is here for them and used as a place of not just worship, but a place of just chilling and having fun with each other. So my japanese is getting so much better, I can fully read hiragana now, and I can read a bunch of Kanji, so to practice Ive been getting a lot of manga and just reading it over and over, although I dont know what like %95 of the words mean, im able to read it almost fluently in the sense that i can read the characters without any hesitation. So its really been coming fast to me. The only problem im really having is the speaking part, im just like afraid to go up to random people and start speaking to them, because as a Japanese normality, they normally dont go up to random people and start talking to them and having conversations, so if foreigners come up to them and just started rambling off any type of half good Japanese, then i dont know what would happen, they would probably just blow up. So Ive really bene enjoying it out here. I got to talk to most people out here and they have such a good idea of who God is, its really cool. Especially the chaplin of calvary chapel on the foster base. The best thing hes said is that he knows how to differentiate between USA and the Kingdom of heaven, he knows that God is not head over heels in love with America, because america is the worst country when it comes to christianity, like when it states in Revelation about the Church Of Leodoceia 3:16 “So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” as a church, america is the worst. They are infatuated with the world. with their big cars, their gold plated cross necklaces, and the way they live their lives. The cross should never be gold plated. Its making Jesus’s death seem like a good thing. It was not a good thing, sure its good because we can enter heaven, but no its not good because we had to have our forgotten groom killed so that we can enter in, and thats so bad. Im ashamed and im ashamed of most if not all christians, because no one has a clue of what it truly means to be a christian. ugh. But yeah so im enjoying myself, I might wanna stay out here for a while. Im not sure yet….

Happy birthday Jacqui!
