Well, February is in full swing and the time is flying here. The Japanese school year is almost over and I felt like I just got here. I am planning on staying another year here, it's crazy to think that my six month contract as about come and gone! I really am going to focus on learning more Japanese in this next year and I have some lofty goals set! Let's hope I can meet them.
I just finished reading the Ragamuffin Gospel and I started The Case for Christ this week. Mom got me a copy and Michi a copy in Japanese to read so it should be a lot of fun to talk about it together. She really likes the idea of hearing a skeptics point of view about the whole Jesus thing.
I have also become a podcast fanatic. I listen to about 10 sermons a week--Rob Bell, Mark Driscoll (ironic those two are side by side!), Bow, Dean and a few others. It's a great way to "redeem my commute." (as Mark Driscoll calls it) I look forward to listening to sermons on the train as I make my way to Toyohashi. They also make time fly when I ride my bike around in the mountains!
It's getting warmer here, we still haven't had any snow to speak of. Not much of a winter compared to you all at home! Michi and I did go snowboarding last weekend, which was a blast! She's still a lot better than me, but I am getting better quickly. I need to find a way to get my board over here asap!
This weekend we are heading to Ise to visit the most famous shrine in Japan (again!) and to find a local microbrewery there. We are going to take the ferry from Irago to Toba, so I hope the weather's great and we have a nice ride!
Hope all of you are well at home, leave me a note!
