The Philippines was so wonderful. Thank all of you who were praying for us, everything come together incredibly. The entire trip was full of great ministry, fellowship, good times, and not as good times, but overall God was in it all. And because of that everything was perfect.

So I'm in Osaka. The trip here was more eventful than I thought. I got on the plane in Naha as scheduled, but after about 20 minutes of flying it headed back to Naha. I didn't know this though because I was asleep. Imagine, if you will, my shock when I woke up to a sad voice telling us we have arrived in Naha because of some mechanical malfunction. I never realized how many people complain when things like this happen. It didn't bother me, but it was hard to not let everyone else get to me.

It turned out for the best though because the next flight I was on I sat next to this cool girl. She didn't speak much english but it was loads of fun. I need to study more Japanese.

Well it's official. I have now been to more countries around the world than states in the US. I think that is a fairly important step in my travels. Obviously I just got back from South Korea. And man did I love it. The people were so great! The food was pretty good to, Japanese food is still better but the kimchi was delicious! Also, Korean nori (seaweed) is sensationally better than Japanese nori. We bought so much of it to bring back for friends, and of course some for ourselves!
