Feeling better

Hey all, I'm sorry I have not posted lately, but my laptop is not working at the present moment. I dropped my laptop before leaving for Japan and I ruined my charger. My actual laptop works fine, but since the charger doesn't work, I can't charge my laptop. I ordered a charger on the internet and it'll be here in like 3-4 weeks, so I'm using someone else's laptop mean while. Anyways, that's the reason why I haven't posted lately.

I've been feeling better from the pain caused by my ulcer. I've also been eating a lot less because I feel full fast, and I've stayed away from salty, spicy, caffeine, raw vegetables and citrus fruits. It's been hard at times to get used to it, but I think I'm used to it now. My team has been a huge encouragement and they have challenged me to not be as stubborn and not feel like I have to be strong all the time. I've always been the type of person that has felt that I have to be the strongest person in the team in all areas. It's not something that I feel everyone else is expecting, but especially as the leader, I feel like I have to be the one that people can lean on. But my team has told me that they don't expect for me to be the strongest. They have continually verbalized that we are all in this together and I couldn't say enough words on how much I appreciate them.

We have about 7 students for our English classes that start on Friday and Saturday of this week/weekend. It has been a bit discouraging to get so little response out of 10,000 fliers, but we know that God has plans that we don't know about yet. We have confidence in our God and know that He knows what's going on and the purpose of all of this. We've learned about patience a lot through all of this. Please continue to pray that we look for His will in everything and we wait upon the Lord for everything. Thank you for the prayers and blessings upon blessings for all of you! Much love from Japan! Sayonara!
