my best friends birthday week

it was a blessing to be part of Josh's twenty year old birthday here at Okinawa. He is a blessing for me and a very good friend whom I'm proud to say that he is my best friend.

well to start off his birthday week, on Tuesday one of the church member took me and Josh and another person to karaoke. It was suppose to be a graduation celebration, but the timing went off, so we just celebrated it as his graduation celebration and birthday celebration. It was a six hour karaoke, it was fun!

Then on Friday youth, the youth leaders bought him a cake and had a little celebration for him, by eating cake!

then on Saturday his grandparents took him out (with me too) to karaoke. But it was not for singing but for eating! haha, that was an interesting day. And singing and eating, we stayed there for about four hours.

Awesome present from above is that Josh got a job on base, and with that he will be able to support himself while he stays here in Okinawa.

Sadly to say, I am half happy and sad at the same time for him getting a job. He moved out from the d-house (the dormitory) and moved in to his grandparents house. He will not be here at the cafe as much, and I will miss him. But good thing is that he have Saturdays and Sundays off. So I will be able to spend time with him on Saturdays, if possible.





But happy birthday Josh! May God continue to bless you beyond your expectation! Be lead by the Spirit and keep on doing the good work for His glory!

Love ya man! again, happy birthday, (even though it was yesterday!) haha

summer break

I guess you can call it a summer break...But right now, everyone is taking the time off from school and enjoying their time. This will be my last summer for a long time in Okinawa as I am getting ready to go to main land Japan with Zach in August to start the Bible College in Tokyo. It will be a exciting time for me. But one thing that I want to do while I am here in Okinawa is to spend time with my friends and make the best time of it.
Great thing is that my two friends will be coming to Okinawa for a short time, but I get to spend time with them. One of the friend is a friend from Jr. High (from California), and his grandmother lives here in Okinawa. So he will be staying in Oki for about a month.
The other friend is a good friend of mine whom I met at High school in Okinawa. He was away in Arizona for the college, but back right now during the break.

I am looking forward for the things that God has stored for me this summer. And my desire is just to be lead by His Spirit. Cause I know that the flesh and Satan will try to bring some kind of quarrel between my friends. So I want to stand firm on the foundation of the Lord, so when those times do come, I will not be shaken.
