Hello to all. Well it has been one week since I started quarantine. In fact I am able to spell quarantine right after writing it so many times. Well to start out this past week has probably been one of the most boring weeks I have ever had in my entire life. Anywho I have had plenty of time to eat, sleep, repeat and read and kind of just sit and think about things for a while. Although I have hated it for the most part, it has done me some good. It has taught me some patience which I hope will stay with me for a while. I always get patience and then after a while it seems to wear off. Some of you also may be wondering what is the food like. Well to be honest I have had about nothing but cereal and sandwhiches, however I have had a steak dinner whcih is the best steak I have ever had and let me tell you, the milk is so good. I have drank more milk since I have been there then I would in like 3 months in the states. It is so good. Also the sushi and other foods I have had are wonderful. More about taht later. Anyways as far as some good other good things that have happened, here they are:
For one, I have a couple Bibles in my room. I have also had a few visitors in my room that have visited me although I am not supposed to have any. However when these visitors visit me the first thing they see sitting out in my room is my Bible. I don't even have to say anything whatsoever because it is the first thing they see and mention when they come in my room. It is so cool and has brought up many discussions among them. In fact one guy told me that he used to be a Christian but he got in a fight with his mom and thought that if Jesus had anger like his mom did towards him he wanted no part in Christianity because he wanted to live a happy life. Well we got to talking for about an hour and told him that is really not how it is to be a Christian and I have persuaded him to go to church with me on Sunday which is Suogoi which means awesome in Japanese. It is great that I am already starting to do mission work while being qurantined.
For two, I have one of the most generous landlords or people I have ever met. My landlord and his wife makes me dinner every night. He does not expect money or anything in return and he does this for all of the international students that live in his apartment complex. This has been such an amazing blessing to me because it keeps me from having to cook so much. He also has taken me out one time just to have a nice little time outside my apartment and bought me a steak dinner. It was so delicious and the best I have ever eaten in the entire world. I tried to pay but he said he wanted it to be on him. He has really taught me to be more giving with things. I don't know why he is so generous but it blows me away with his way of getting me food all the time and just all the many he things he has done to make me feel welcomed since I have been in qurantine.
Last but not least, I get to leave my apartment out of qurantine Saturday. I also get to start school on Monday. I am so happy and I am looking forward to school once in my life. Most of my classes pretty much occur Monday - Wednesday and tutoring on Thursday and Friday for Japanese. However these classes will be 90 minutes which is a very long time for me. It should become very interesting because 45 minute classes at times are real long for me. However I am really looking forward to it. I will also get to attend church on Sunday and see many people that I have not got to see yet since I have been here. After Friday night, Japan is going to start kicking in gear and rocking so much. I cannot wait.
Well that is about all that is going on right now which is a lot but its not. It is kind of an update on what has been happening in my life since I have been here. I will write more when I am actually free this time becaue I didnt think I would have anything to say until I got out but a lot had happened so I thought it would be good for an update. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers as time goes on with this.
