Today we went to Utsunomiya, and Yuji-san came with us. I've been praying for opportunities to talk to him about God, and I got to a little bit today. But there are barriers, some questions and struggles that need answers. I don't think I have the time here with Yuji-san to help him through it, but I suppose that's what facebook is going to have to be for. Pray for him, that God would open his heart and mind to the gospel.
Classes are going well. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Nikko, teaching. We did some more group teaching sessions at the kindergarten up there, similar to what we did for the kindergarten in Omochanomachi. It was fun. I've decided that kindergarteners are my very favorite age to teach in large groups. They are so great!
Summer school starts next week. Pray that we can plan a great course that will teach the kids a lot, both about English, and about God.
Slightly amusing story: at dinner tonight, it was my turn to pray. We joked a bit about me praying in Japanese. I said all I knew in Japanese was how to say "Dear God," and "Amen." After I spent about half a minute butchering "Dear God" in Japanese, Ruriko-san said, "Pray in English... please."

I have no idea how to pray in Japanese either, but its cool to hear that things are going well. ^_^
Actually, Josh, I think if you say "Okami-san," you're addressing a wolf. It's "Ai suru Kami-sama," If I remember correctly. And yes, you use "Amen"! High five!
