hank you for your prayers this past Sunday! We had first-time visitors come for both the morning and evening services! I think that might be a first for the church here. Additionally, Bro. Hill allowed me to preach the Sunday morning service this past Sunday and Rosie taught the children. It was definitely a learning experience for both of us, and we appreciate the opportunities to serve.
One of the visitors was a young man (25) who had spent some time in the US. He has been to church before, but is not saved from what I can tell. We plan to meet and talk tomorrow afternoon so please be praying for that time. His name is Leo.
Rosie continues to knock her studies out of the park. This past week, they did some calligraphy in class and she seems to have the magic touch. Please continue to pray for her as she speaks, reads, and writes Japanese!

From the News
Japan is very big on cleanliness. In fact, it is normal for people to stay around and help clean up, even after church events. If you wonder how this came about, you might find this article to be interesting
