Day 21

Hey all!

The past week or so has flown by which is sort of a relief! The first week and a half dragged by and I was afraid the whole summer would be like that! We began having the first group of volunteers come last week and I got to have my first group on Wednesday. They're a group of I-Witness kids from Nebraska and Kansas which is sort of cool to have people that live near me. Most of the other interns here are either from Texas, Mississippi or Louisiana. It's also cool to have a group because the more people we have on the streets, the more likely people are to stop and talk to us. Also, the groups have so much energy and it passes on to us! :)
I took my group to Asakusa temple last Saturday and this time it was easier for me to be there. Some of the girls had a tough time with it so I spent most of the time praying with them and reading scripture. It just re-enforced the power of prayer and the power of Christ's name to me.
My team at the station has yet to have any real, lasting contacts so that's sort of frustrating but I know we are still helping in some way. Just by being there and prayer walking and handing out Hope tracks makes a difference. We're hoping to met up with some people this week for Bible study; I'll let you know how it goes.
So far 20 people have come to Christ in the past three weeks and many more are on the verge. The interns that have been here before are amazed at how many we've had so far. God is doing great things in Japan. I posted more pictures on Facebook today and will write more when more things happen!
