Recently I been going through some trying times, trying to cope with the cultural differences between  America and Japan. But we had a good service on Sunday where a guest speaker spoke. He preached on how we are all foreigners set apart to be holy for God. Those who become Christians are different and become one family. So we don't have to be defined by the cultural differences from which country we

came from. We become a new race of people set apart to be holy for God. We have the Word of God
now describing what kind of people we are. So this was a comforting message to hear what I could understand of it, since it was mostly in Japanese. Afterwards we had our youth service at Family Koen Mae. A park where I used to go to when I was little. It was a good time of hanging out with the youth and playing sports. It was great to see so many youth smiling and enjoying themselves playing sports. And the weather was good too, since last time we could not do it because it was raining.
