Saturday 7/28

Its time to play the Japanese again. This morning we played a 9 ining game and was tied into the 9th. 3 to 3, we were home team. We fell apart and they won 6 to 3. Close game but more importantly many of the same young people that we developed friendships with last week brought friends with them today. The english language brings so much power with it. They just want to talk about anything To practise want they have learned in class rooms or from the TV.
We ate Brazilian BBQ and are now going to rest for a few minutes. Then we will load the bus with all the karate equipment to go across town to do the exibition tonight. 700 boards, 250 bricks, 40 cinder blocks, 20 slabs of concrete and the bed of nails.This should be exciting to get all the little details worked out. Please continue to pray for good health, understanding of each others language bariers, for us to respond to the spirit and not our agenda, and for hearts to continue to be softened.
By the way this winter is pretty nice. Teh weather is mid 70´s every day so far.
Chow!
