"Together forever and never to part." -Rick Astley

It's been 2 ½ weeks that I've been living with the Japan team. This isn't my first time on a mission trip, so I'm not unfamiliar in living with a bunch of non-relatives under the same roof – biggest team I've been with was 10 other people! (That's not including my brother.) Anyway, living with the Tyndale team has been fine so far – no big issues... unless I'm the cause of trouble and nobody has told me yet! But yeah, I feel that the team has good cooperation just with living together – grocery shopping, shower schedules, washing dishes – everyone's open to do whatever needs to be done. Night times can be crazy – it gets to the point where everyone laughs at the most insignificant things, but it's hilarious. Yeah... I think that's about all I've got to say for now. Good times.

Amazed and Excited.


Japan has been such an experience and has not fell short of the expectations I had coming here. One of the most surprising things for me is how much I felt at home the moment we touched down. A lot of the residential housing and things looked very similar to when I going visit family in Trinidad and most of the other things were very similar to Toronto. It is so awesome to see what God is doing in Tsugaru Church and related Chapels. I can't wait to see what God is going to do next and the anticipation only builds as we participate in some of the activities that have helped the church get to its point today. I always doubted the effect of street playing and handing out tracks until I heard some of the Testimonies of some of the people here. We had our first concert on Saturday Night and we had a blast. The Ghents told us after how many new people and old church goers came that night. I can't explain the awe and excitement that comes along with seen a lot of what God has done, knowing that your currently a part of his work, and knowing that he's going to do so much more here.

Nick.
