First Post in Japan!
Hey Guys!
I have for the first time here, a good internet connection! It's been such a wonderful experience, I am truly blessed to be here! Today was the first day that it was just me and my mom. Yesterday we said goodbye to my older bro and sis who are now starting their 5 month DTS training!
So today we took two trains (the names escape me at the moment lol) but I am actually getting use to all of it! It's fun also paying with the Yen, and surprisingly a lot of things are so much cheaper here then in the states! And vending machines are on almost every single street! lol....anyway, we walked to a store something like walmart meets home depot, and looked for some materials for one of the projects here which is tileing, found most of the stuff, however, taking boxes of tiles and materials aren't so fun when you have to take a train and walk 20 minutes lol, so happily we found out that we could get the heavier materials delivered!! On the way back we stopped to get some noodles, my first since being in Japan!! Woohoo!! so good! (^_^)
Anyway, can't hog the internet lol, write more later! And I can really feel that God is going to do great things through this trip!!

Day 1
Probably won't be many posts after this....
So it's 1:16 in the morning...you may ask...WHAT ON EARTH AM I STILL DOING UP??? Well partly due to excitement, and the other part due to a sugary substance called "Cream Soda" I have come to this. So as we speak I have finished packing! (woohoo, I'll be 'rechecking' my bags in the morning) Hope I can carry this all with me.
Anyway, I found out I can do blogs on my iTouch, so if I get internet I'm totally posting...
I just wish you all a wonderful month if I don't hear from you, but if you'd like to send me an email, it's : Photojoe09@yahoo.com
I'm DEFINITELY having Starbucks at the airport! *Yawn* Good night friends...7 hours...the start of the next month

1 Week!!
Update:
Just received the hand made Cross a good friend of ours made for us to take to Japan! Now I can finish packing my carry-on bag! Woo!
Also I finally got a chance to go to the bank and clear up the credit card stuff, I should be..emphasis on "should be" haha...but yeah should be able to use my debit card to withdraw money while in Japan. Just pray clumsy me doesn't lose it! ;)
My Music Cd's as well as the Japanese/English New Testament arrived in the mail! I am very happy it came before my trip. I love my new CD's! the music really helps to calm me when I feel overwhelmed and excited about what's coming up.
God is wonderful!
Until next time.....

Japan, 9 DAYS!
So I just wanted to post a test just to get this all started. Well I don't know how often I will be able to update it, but I will try posting something here whenever I get a chance to do so.
Anyway, as of today, I am pretty much packed! Woohoo, so happy...oh and we got some yen to cover costs of train and airport stuff.
