What's been going on...

In my last post, I only had 15min to make it, so I really just posted pictures.
Here is what has been going on so far,
the past two weeks have been midterms, and so far I have 3 of my 5 midterms done. I just finished my Minor Prophets midterm today, and I already finished my Japanese and Revelation Midterm last week. Friday I have my Exodus midterm, and then I don't know when exactly but my childrens ministery midterm should be soon.
Classes have been going really good, and God has been showing me so much!
on march 5th we had a birthday party for my sister 'manda', Hannah and Samantha. it was so much fun, we had a spa/nails/relax time party. we all took turns washing each others feet and we painted ares nails and put face masks on. we had games and the birthday girls opened there presents. and of course there was ~food~ yummy!

Also for one of are free days we went to Churaumi, the aquarium! I had been there before so I didn't go in, but I did see the dolphine show again and saw the Manatees and the turtles. Kawaii~

One thing that has been going on, and alot of people in the states have been scared about is the Tsunami and Earthquake in mainland Japan. Just letting everyone, we are all fine here in Okinawa and that you don't have to worry. one thing I do say is, please pray for mainland Japan. Through this hard time, the people of Japan need to turn from there sins and idols and turn to God. Through these hard times, God can be glorified for His mercy and grace. The people of Japan need to hear the gospel and need to give there lives to Christ. so please keep Japan in your prayers, and pray that there eyes and hearts are opened to God and they give there lives to God. ~God is truly amazing~

Like I said in the last post, on the 29th we all leave for the island of Tonaki Jima, and the people who are going to Korea leave early on the 31st because, on April 1st we leave for Korea~ Yea!!!
Please keep us in your prayers as we go to Tonaki Jima and Korea, and also when the other group goes to Guam and Hokaido. pray that God opens many oppritunitys to share the Gospel with the people from those places.

Well, 1/2 of the semester is done. we are halfway done! the next time I update might be 3/4 of the semester is done? I dunno, lol!
