Refreshed

父の日おめでとう！　Happy Fathers’ Day!

I just want to say that my dad is awesome; I am not just saying this because it is Fathers’ Day, but he really is. He is so talented, smart, has a heart of giving (even when he cannot give), and best of all, he is a follower of Christ. When my dad finally started coming to church about what…7-8 years now? I simply couldn’t believe such transformation and could only believe that it was God’s doing. I am very proud of you 아빠! I wish I could do so much more for you, but I am certainly trying my best. I love you!

This week was my first week back in Japan. I got my Visa!! Now I am back and ready to serve the people here in Japan and J-House! This week has been quite refreshing. I have experienced and seen things (that I always did before I went back to Cali) in a new perspective and a fresh heart. To not worry about what it was like before, but to keep being positive and to not be discouraged by what the enemy throws in my way. And as I was doing this, things just seem a lot lighter on my shoulders. I didn’t care if someone didn’t want to accept a flyer that I offered them, or if someone totally just ignores me when I ask if they spoke English. I feel like I can do much more when I don’t let things discourage me. So far, it has been working refreshingly well!

This week also, Sam Song from Cali came and it has also been refreshing for us Jesus Soldiers. He is here to kind of check out J-House and see if he wants to come back as a Jesus Soldier in September. He has a few very good options and opportunities back home as well, so the Jesus Soldiers and I are all keeping him in our prayers. He indeed brings a very refreshing attitude to J-House that we desperately need. It is also fun to have another guy in this lonely 2^nd floor. Haha :D

God has certainly been working, and I know that it is not only here in Japan. I am praying for my youth group and P. JP and Rebekah for their Cambodia mission outreach! I hope that all goes smoothly and even the preparation time will be fruitful and that their hearts will grow more and more for the people of Cambodia!

I am really hungry now, so I am going to out with Sam and Kyle!　またね〜
