Day 8 (Alan)
I am gonna keep mine short today.
So I am on the other half of the team that went to Nara. It was raining and hot, but we all enjoyed ourselves with the students a lot.
Yuichi was the guide for our team. About 6 to 8 students showed up. We first hit an empire palace and then we went to see the big buddha. We saw a lot of deers on the way and we stepped on a lot of deer poop too =P One of the students told me that the temple we visited for the big buddha is the oldest temple in the world.
It was a very long day, but it was very encouraging for me. I gotta to talk to one of the students named, Yabi. He is really genuine and kind. I spent pretty much the whole with him talking about God and being a christian, it was very exhausting, but it was very satisfying to see his hunger for this belief. He does not fully believe in God yet, but I can't wait to see what God is going to do in his life. I also overheard lucy sharing the gospel with Yuichi too. and I am sure that there are some other gospel conversation going on that I didn't hear, so please pray for these students' salvation.
Please pray that we will have good follow ups with the students after all these serious conversations. Also Lucy got sick from a cold, but she persevered and she is strong! So also please pray for her health too.
Here are some photos of the day:
