I met some women at a park and they saw my bracelets! I got to share with them because of my bracelets!
A girl who was met at our university has become a believer! This is why we are here!!!
Things have been busy and relaxing. I have moved into a M's house while they are in the sates with five of the high school girls. It has already been a blessing to share the next six weeks with these awesome girls! The neighborhood we are in is pretty different than Shibuya. I have a bike here, so that is really fun. Unfortunately, I get lots of stares when I am riding down the street with my bike loaded down with groceries.

We have had a student team from California with us for the last three weeks. They have blown my mind along with the other volunteer teams. It is our job as interns to serve the volunteer teams and minister to them. The volunteer teams that we have had are awesome. They end up ministering to us which is such a blessing.
On Tuesday, we had our intern retreat. This was a much need break to just recharge and relax. It was nice to not ride a train for a little while and leave the hustle and bustle of the city. The retreat was at a Bible camp in the mountains. The views were breathtaking.

We came back to the city on Thursday. On Friday July 2, my team and I went to Chofu baptist church again. This week, the church had planned a sushi party for their English ministry. The ladies there, taught us how to make sushi. I had never seen that much raw fish before. The food was pretty different from Texas food, but I actually kinda liked it! The ladies at this church are awesome! Please be praying for them, most are not believers.
So much food!
E and I with one of the fans she got us.

Me and precious T. She is a believer and has a huge heart for her people. She teaches a small group that I attended two weeks ago on Sunday.
