For the glory of his name. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. I have been tagged in a game I was not aware I was a part of, but since I'm such a sport I'll play too. What I can gather is that people who are tagged make a random list up to five.or something like that. So I will make a list. Here I go. Things I'm looking forward to about going home:. 2) going to church, singing to and worshiping God from the heart with many other people and just soaking for a while. I know even in saying it'll be nice being aroun...

For the glory of his name. Friday, December 29, 2006. But none-the-less I thought I would share some Christmas memories with all of you that I did not get to share in the yultide with in Canada this year. Of course there were all my little Japanese-Israelite children speaking poorly accented English. We did the Christmas story play in two towns, so we had performances on back to back days, which was quite hectic. ANDOH WOW. I'M ON A JAPANESE FRIEND'S COMPUTER AND I JUST ACCIDENTLY HIT SOME SORT OF CA...

One of my friends teaches hip hop dance, so starting tonight I'm her newest student. haha. I cannot picture it in my mind or know what to expect, so I just have no idea how to prepare myself mentally for that one.it'll be.an experience. But maybe by the time I come home I'll be cool and be able to dance haha. Posted by Erika @ 3:52 PM. Monday, October 09, 2006. So this year's Thanksgivi...

I bought bars of soap for my sinks when I first got here, and when I got home I read the package. Right on the top where "Dove" gets printed, mine say "Naive". How appropriate; I laugh to myself every time I wash my hands. Apparently those who have never had a (Japanese) dehumidifer before. And I also mix up words in my head when I'm talking. You all know I have a speech impedi...

(One set even featured the Aladdin song "A Whole New World" which I may or may not have sang along with really loudly just because I knew the song; and hey, it was Aladdin, who can't help but sing to Aladdin? Occasionally the wind would bring firework shrapnel the way of the crowd. When it first started coming I was like, 'I want to catch a piece!

At first it was really weird to start playing the role of camp counsellor and friend because I am these kids' teacher, but I eventually learned how to play with these kids and still keep their respect as a teacher, I think. They're all good kids. I like them. It was also a trick getting 6 little boys excited about doing a cheer about our small group mascot, the snake. Posted by Erika @ 11:39 PM. Monday, July 24, 2006.

For the glory of his name. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. But I like it. And we're going to Tokyo on Friday. How exciting. Life is so different around here, starting two weeks ago when Kaila came to begin teaching. It's almost hard to describe what it's like to have people my age around and be able to laugh and just hang out again. I need my own personal life counsellor.and a maid. Maybe I could be so lucky as to aquire a 2-for-1: both of those in the same person. Apply here. Posted by Erika @ 6:33 AM.

For the glory of his name. Friday, September 22, 2006. That will be the other challenge though: actually getting it out, reading Japanese in front of a bunch of year-weathered failing ears in a voice that allows them to hear. I need to install a microphone into my voice box. Maybe God will do that for me, if not for just the ten minutes I'm speaking on Sunday. This is definitely a stretching experience for me, this whole Japan thing is.but it's all an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. It would s...

It figures. why not go to Japan to celebrate American Thanksgiving? It was a cozy day with fun people. I guess when you give things up and decide to be content living without them, sometimes they get given back in a way you never thought of. Posted by Erika @ 10:43 PM. Tuesday, November 14, 2006.
