Wow. That's all I have to say. Wow. This latest meeting has been a bit of an eye opener. Many thanks once again to Sean, Joshua, and Brendon for the delicious meal and devotional. I think that was what I atleast needed to hear, especially after hearing how deeply in dept we are. The situation is dire: we haven't even covered our airfair yet. The money needs to come together soon. Same with our worship team. We also would like some donations. Besides the ones on the list already, we would like the following: cloth diapers (they wash them out at the orphaniges), children's toys that won't break easily, deflated beachballs, and last but certainly not least: BUBBLES!!!! Beyond that, we need prayer and preparation concerning our health whilst away.
Now, for the good news. Preparations for this year's drama are well underway, and things appear to be shaping up nicely. Nicole deserves alot of credit for directing us all in such a professional manner. That has really sped things up. The worship team is coming together and it sounds like we will be getting some great sound equipment, thanks to one Kelly Sakanashi. I have a powerpoint set up and need to mearly refine it.
On a more personal note: we need prayer that the Yenokida children get to their grandparent's place safely. That Nicole's projects for this trip would resolve themselves in her absence. And that I would find some way to lead this group of rowdy highschoolers and now ex-highschoolers as God would want me to lead them. Here goes. HOOAH!!!

Yehaa! He did it!!!
Some great news to report after one team building day and one planning day. We finally have our drama and music all but selected! Yippee!!! Even more great news: reports indicate that Kelly Sakanashi has prepared a sound diagram and equipment for us. We'll have access to gear that's on the same level as Lighthouse. Our new prayer request include: that God would open our eyes to the ways that the people we serve see the world, that I would learn how best to use this new equipment, and that all of the money would come in soon. Hooah!!!!
