Here we go...

I met 3 Japanese people yesterday. It's a sign!!! I'm just kidding. But there is an enlarging of my heart for the people of that land. I've not been outside the country since the age of 2. Well, Tiajuana, and only once! Catalina count? For the last 2 years of Navajo missions, I felt His tug to a new place. And that new place was Japan when last year's team shared upon their return. I knew it then. But even then, it's a struggle to step up when the time comes. But in doing, you remember that new place He wants you to be. I'm so blessed to be a part of the this team to Japan and for many reasons. And many more only understood in hindsight. Pastor Daniel Brown once said that he can't think of a better way of expressing his love for God than loving [God's] people. And that's what missions is, isn't it? It may look logistically in vbs, bbq's, building homes, seminars. But it's loving people, even if it's not convenient for you. So, the 7 of us are going to Japan or at least that's the plan for now. I think there were 7 that went on a boat trip and landed on Giligan's Island. We're 7 and we're going to an island. Who's Giligan? Hannah....
