Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Recently I applied for work teaching English in Kashihara. It looks like I might get the job. :)
I have been enjoying driving my new car around to places. It has been cold here and raining a lot. I wish the weather would clear up. :/
My classes are going well except none have accepted Jesus yet into their hearts. One of my elementary classes just laughed when I was saying that the Bible lesson was really true. Teaching the Bible to them can be frustrating and requires a lot of patience.  In the Pilgrim's Progress movie, Pilgrim says to his friend seeing kids mock him from a school window, "Leave them for they are children of darkness". But on the other hand, in the Jesus movie, you see Jesus still teaching and being friendly even when he is among people who laugh and don't believe. It is hard here, but learning these lessons in life helps me become more like Jesus. I know that whatever I endure, Jesus is enduring it with me. Thank you for your prayers for Japan and continue to pray that God will change this nation. God bless...
