Karaoke!!!

So I had a couple new experiences in the last couple of days. Last night the whole group, minus 1, went to Karaoke last night, and some of us (including me) stayed up all night, not getting home until 7 AM, It was a blast we went out with a bunch of students and stayed up all night singing, this was after I helped with a childrens ministry and went to help out at the BHOP (sp?), the navs community ministry here. It is led by Sugimoto-San and Brendan and I got the chance to eat dinner at his house last Sunday and it was stellar, so much food. We also learned about how to figure out what is good green tea, and how to prepare it at his house. Getting back to the ministry stuff. I helped with children of light kids klub, doing filming and helping keep the kids under control, I think it has confirmed my desire to some day have kids (especially a son, plus I don't really think that desire needed to be confirmed, since I would have kids anyway if I get married). Mark Leis (the leader of the club) had his kids there and his son Benjamin (about 3) is a riot. After the club was done he rode in the van with us back to Joyhouse, and "showed" Mandy and I how to play road bingo. And during the club he would just hang all over me and guide me around. At the BHOP later that night, we went to a sort of hall to help them learn english, and Bryan, Matt, Molly, Tara, and I taught the song Isaiah 43. Then we worked on doing a short scene from "Catch me if You Can" and then we taught them the "Electric Slide", plus I met a couple of students from another university ini Shimizu that want to come to BEST. I thought that was really cool. Then today after I got some sleep (recovering from a night of karaoke) I went at 1 PM to a culture museum and Shinto shrine with Dan and one of the junior high students we are teaching english to at Shoyo Junior High in Shimizu. Then when we got back Caleb and I, with a little help from Koshi and Shigeo, cooked Curry and meat over rice for dinner and it turned out really great!! Anyway I think this is all except, that Thursday night I got to share my testimony, and I think I have found a guy to sort of start to develop a good friendship with. I will talk more about this later, as I still have to take care of laundry tonight. Please keep praying that the Spirit will lead in all situations with the students and the other members of the team, and also that my time with God will continue to be fruitful, thanks a bunch.
Grace and Peace,
Dustin
