chiharu, ma-chan and kaio came over to play.. c and I was chat it up.. so fun to have some one that can totally run with my POOR english grammar.. I realize here I USE WAY TO many slang words.. as can even my american friends understand me at all times?? NOOOO
what was interesting today is ma-chan was SOOO stressed out that we did not have instructions to tennis.. which I was MAD to see how the boys just throw the games in the container RATHER then respecting their own property!!!!!!!!! we will be WORKING on that!!!
anyways.. he really wanted to READ the instructions RATHER then just diving in to play.. ( even though tad kept getting in his personal space, right up in his face trying to show him) I felt so bad.. and it reminded me just how japanese he is.. NOW i know we know Americans like this.. but DEEP rooted in the japanese culture is the NEED to do the right thing.. the right way.. how can you NOT respect that!!!! this is why I just know deeply in my heart.. even if they do not come across the gospel in this life.. they will be up on the highest mountain in the here after!!! mark my words on that!!!!! MARK"EM


OH and the biggest thing of all.. TODAY.. TOOOOOOOODDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY was the first day I FINALLY heard you boys busting out your Japanese.. it was just coming to you while you were trying to communicate. now I did still hear english WITH a japanese dialect... but the SMILE .. the grin from ear to ear on my face was very apparent as THIS is what i am SO hoping for.. that you will speak and love all this country has to offer. OH my word.. and jonah even said of COURSE while in front of ma- chan.. that he wants to stay in Japan longer!!!!!!
so I think just maybe its starting to sink in!!!!!!! YEAH.. only took what about 4 1/2 months..
