Well, I found some interesting scriptures from the Bible lately. It seems like my life is filled with trials, but reading from the Bible, it shows God has not only intended it to stay that way forever. Psalms 35:27 says "Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant". And it goes on in Leviticus 26:3-4 saying "If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I will give you rain in it's season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit". Then after that it lists more blessings. So this shows that there are blessings to come following after the Lord, even though there seems to be many trials to reach that point. Though I always think how many times would the trials repeat themselves after every blessings you receive? I guess it doesn't end till we reach Heaven.

 Recently I met a friend of ours on the road. She befriended me and Bethany before. She likes mountain climbing even though she is old and has some physical problems. But she is amazingly strong to climb the mountain almost every day. Anyway I talked with her the other day over 10minutes in Japanese, I think. It was one of the longest conversations that I had. Difficult but yet rewarding to see what I could understand. It has been raining here in Haibara off and on. Getting ready to share from the Word this month at Lifesong church. I found out that my friend that I work out with, recently bought some whiskey and had some. So that was some discouraging news. I wish he can come back to church and get saved. I had a new student come to the Tuesday English class. It was a good time and we had several Christian ladies witnessing to the new student. Our neighbor came too class too, an old Christian friend of ours. Most of my students giving the new student their testimonies of how they met the Lord. Our neighbor is such a sweet lady and strong in the Lord. She gave me a ride home and kept repeating "Don't give up" about life, my driver's license, and my friend that I work out with. I would like to thank all for your prayers and support. Hope Last Chance Chapel is doing well. Remember not to give up when you see changes happening or everything seems to be so hard. Remember God will give His rain of blessings in due season.
