korre wa calpis des keh??

Ahhhh; one more week to go in Sendai... Its crazy how fast time flies.. Last week, we had the last of our open houses and international cafes.. Praise God that numbers have been good throughout and that new people are still turning up and hearing the Gospel for the very first time... Many people have heard the name of Jesus and what he actually did for the first time on this trip so praise God that we could change some of the darker misconceptions some of the people here in Japan have about Christianity.... (think boring 'Christian' highschools where its pseudo Christian morals, no Jesus and boring chapel and songs)....

ANyway, this week we have a different plan.. we will be having a KIDS Camp on Wednesday and thursday..It'll be totally new for me.. I havent done anything with kids since I was a kid (apart from playing with my niece and that usually involves watching Sky Sports).. AHhhhh so pray pray.. coz Kids are great witnesses... at church, a few people became Christians because their kids came home and said things like 'daddy, whats a soul??'.. 'mommy, i want to go to church today.. what happens when we die?'.... parents often send their kids to these english kid camps so lets pray that God can work with strength.....

Here are some other random thoughts
1- Calpis is a great drink... sure, it sounds like something not so polite but its really great... glass of calpis in London costs like 2 pounds, here its like 50p
2- Pot noodle technology here is at a different level!
3- They are selling Mariah Carey cds for 50p.. if anyone wants one, drop a comment.. she realy must have fallen off BADLY here in Japan!
4- No one on the team knows what 'bare good' means..
5- 'Lets Marry' (in japanese) can either mean 'do you want to marry me' or 'i do not want to marry you'.....talking about confusing for the people here!!!
