Last Day of School Celebration



All us girls (Iza, Ina, Tamiko, Megan, Melissa, Amanda, Christina, and Kelsi) this semester for the last day of school after we finished all our finals took puri kura pictures at Denen and Melissa, Iza, and i just realized that the booths are perfect dance floors because of the amazingly exiting music.

Kelsi and Melissa Send off



We prayed for Kelsi and Melissa (in between Tamiko and Pastor Tommy) as they are the only students who went back to the states after the semester ended. The girls' D house definitely is emptier without them. They will be sorely missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Barrios Goodbye


The Barrios family have been a definite blessing and addition to the church family here in CC Ginowan they will be leaving this week so the church had a potluck or going away party for them on Sunday after service. Dave and Liz have been a beautiful couple who both have amazing testimonies of what the Lord has done in their lives in bringing them to him and have been led by the Lord. They're beautiful kids are Julia, Alondra, and Niko who are so very adorably hilarious. We're going to miss spunky girl and our Lilo and Stitch.

Baptism



One of the Marines, Josh, at Futenma Chapel (where Eder usually minsters at) got baptized this Saturday at Sunset beach. Praise the Lord for His transforming power it was a blessing for all the Bible college to support Josh in his public proclamation for the inward change.

Beach hang out


Melody Janssen and her friend Avery from Indiana came to hang out with us, take puri kura with us at Mihama then swim with Kelsi and me at Sunset beach for the afternoon on Saturday after the women's breakfast. They're very cute and we had fun.

Woman's Breakfast


We had a women's breakfast this past Saturday where my mom taught and Yumi translated. She showed a couple of Izak's videos like the harvest, light in the darkness, and the good helper. She taught on Matt 9:37 talking about how the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. It was a good breakfast we are so blessed to have amazing cooks.

Graduation




Last Thursday we had the Graduation ceremony for the graduates this semester, Iza, Rusty, and Nate.It was a good night they all got dressed up in kimonos for it. They looked great Naoko-san, Kayo. Joanna, and Megan did a great job in dressing them all up. They all have amazing futures ahead of them as they have finished this stepping stone in their lives.
