Strapped myself in my seat, waiting for take-off at Heathrow, there was one simple thought on my mind, which was “I wonder what I will think as I arrive in Japan”
after all, in nearly every Biography of a missionary you read of the first thoughts of the missionaries.
As the plain started to move, as it took off, I said my farewell to Britain.
“well, I guess I won't be treading on British soil for a long time...” with that the desire to pray for the salvation of UK, and a revival of the church came upon me, so as the plane took off, I prayed for the land I was leaving.
11 hours later, the plain was about to arrive in Narita Airport, and there I was excited and expectant...
“what are my thoughts gonna be!?” ...and yet there was non. Kind of a anti-climax I guess, but I didn't feel anything :)
the weather-forecast said that we had a Typhoon on the way, I was excited, what a great way to start my new life in Japan! It was humid, but not hot. With a kind of cool breeze....
it was 9pm Japan time that I finally arrived in the church, which is 1pm UK time.
Oh, boy... I'm still straggling with Jet lag... I'm sleepy during the day, but can't sleep at night.
Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow, as the conference will be starting... and I don't want the first impression being “He falls a sleep during every single sermon”... ;)
well other than that, I will like to ask you to pray for a few things.
1)Part time Job
I want to get involved as much as possible with the church, and yet need to pay to keep alive, so I am looking for a job where I can get good money in little time. Please pray that I might find a suitable job.
2)Flat
the plan of living at the training house has fallen through, as there are two single ladies living there, and it is not appropriate for a single man to live there also. So, free accommodation has gone out of the window, and I have to find a place to live. Please pray that a cheap place in a suitable location might be found. And all paperwork to go smoothly.
3)Desk Work
I am also trying to sort out my paperworks etc, like National Insurance, Opening an Account and stuff... please pray that the desk jobs might finish swiftly!
Here are two video's!

Two – Coffee Vending machine...
