I go....

Today is the second to last day in the United States. It is a sombering thought but, also, an exciting one, too. The contradiction is noted. I am learning more about this little program I am apart of now. It seems that it is bigger than anything I had ever thought of doing or thought to be apart of. I know that is vague but at this moment I feel like I am on the cusp of something really incredible. Going to Japan is incredible. What if I like it so much that I want to stay? That would be crazy. But, what if that is where I will finally fit in? Again, crazy. They have no hope in their culture. 100 high school/junior high students die every day from suicide. That is crazy. They need Jesus. They need Hope. They need Light. I do not go to Japan for myself alone. I go to Japan because someone else needs to learn of Jesus and I am the one who has been appointed to tell them. I go because I have been sent. I go because anything less is disobedience and death.

Hi Lady,

Well, today is Sunday and you are probably on your way by now. In a way, I envy you and your new adventures, but I am so proud of what you are doing. You are in God's hands and we know you will be well cared for. Write when you can and know we are thinking of you.

Love
Tricia
