Another Update from the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’

by sejwa on May 26, 2010

I only have a few more days doing research here in Japan. My last day is May 31st. I can’t believe I’ve almost been here a month already. I feel like I just got here, and there is still a lot more Carlo and I have to do. We will have to continue the work by correspondence. You could pray that the rest of my time at RIKEN is productive.
On Sunday I am going to meet Hiromichi’s parents. Hiromichi is one of my classmates at WashU. Hiromichi had told me before I left that they would be willing to have me stay with them, so during my last week in Japan I will be staying with them, although for a few days I will be in Kyoto. I am excited
about this opportunity to live with a Japanese family. Please pray that I would be a light to them. This past Sunday I worshiped at a church that I think is not too far from where Hiromichi’s parents live, so I am considering inviting them to go to this church with me on Sunday June 6th. Thank you for your prayers. I often get frustrated with research, but God is helping me to have a good attitude and to be joyful.

Wow, I can hardly believe you’ve been there a month either! I am excited for you that you get to live with Hiromichi’s parents for a little bit. What will you be doing in Kyoto?

You are in my prayers!

I’ll pray, too. That will be interesting to live with a Japanese family.
