Hey, gang! I have some brief but big announcements: starting tomorrow, the team and I are doing not one, but two road trips! The first one will take us all the way south to the small town of Taco, located in the Chiba prefecture, where we'll help our teammate, Janet, pack her remaining things from her recently sold house.
And then, next Friday, we'll travel to the towns of Nozomi and Iwaki, which are in the Fukushima prefecture. There, we'll help out an after-school program, a language-exchange cafe, and hang out with the local ministry workers! When I return, I'll give you guys the full scoop, complete with photos and (if we're allowed) videos! Please pray that our trip will be safe, and that we'll show God's peace and grace wherever we go! Sorry for the short post, but a much bigger and exciting one will be here in a few weeks time!
And speaking of two weeks, I've decided that with all the chaos brewing online within the last few months being a detrimental effect on my emotional and mental well-being, I'm a-gonna take a two week fast from social media. Yup. No Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. With all this easy access to everyone's opinions, rational and otherwise, it can be difficult to keep one's head in the here and now, and with this ministry trips ahead of me, I desire to be as present as possible.
To be less-dramatic, I just want to take a short break from the internet. If you would like to contact me, which I'm always down for, please email me! If you don't have it already, here is my email:
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support, and have a most wonderful day!
Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
