New group!

Hey all!
So we got our second group of the summer today! They are missionary kids from East Asia. We were all kind of nervous of them at first because some missionary kids can be a little weird, but I really like my group. They are all around age 15 or 16 but they are much more mature than that. Today we took them to Shinjuku Government Towers (the same towers I got lost at last time; but this time I went with other people so I didn't get lost :) ) and then we did five minute English with them. They are all excited about being here; some came from India and Thailand where they have to be careful about drinking water and still have holes in the floor for toilets! Needless to say, Tokyo is very fast paced and high tech for some of them. I'm excited for the rest of the week because I feel they will be a great group to work with and will meet alot of Japanese!
There is one downside to them though; we as interns have to attend all their orientations in the mornings which means I have to get up at like 6:15Am. I haven't been up that early in a while!! But I think it'll be worth it; you know, it's for Jesus and all. :)
Tomorrow we'll be going to Asaskusa temple to have them prayer walk and then do 5 minute English again. I'll try to share if any funny or exciting stories happen!
It's crazy to think I only have two weeks left. Time has flown by recently and will only go faster now that I have my group. Before I know it I will be back in KC!!
