".......But the greatest of these is love."
All we can say for today is "WOW." What an amazing day! The last couple of days have been cram packed with classes, lectures, speeches, teachers, anything and everything to get ready in the learning aspect of missions, and everything we are about to do and encounter in Japan! But today was a day of absolute busy FUN. We had a day of learning respect, the science of balloon animals, and the art of face painting! But most important we experienced the positive and negative aspects of ourselves. We took a personality quiz before we even arrived here in Nashville, and little did we know those questions were going to show us the exact person we are. It was entirely amazing to have yourself opened up to you in the way we saw today. So many times we are blinded in who we are and our strengths and weaknesses. But this just took it all and slammed it in our faces. It was such a blessing and so humbling (if that's a word!) to really realize who you are.
Our TEAM has become one of the closes teams here on campus, and we came to learn it is because we all share a similar personality traits, we care. Something as simple as, we care! How amazing our GOD is! We had the most amazing worship service tonight, and GOD showed us how easily he works. Just in three days 11 complete strangers came together completely, and i mean completely, as one in CHRIST. We have been working towards this the entire time and for it to happen was GODS precious hand working, and creating what we need to be! Each of us have our strengths and weaknesses, each of us contribute such an important role, and tonight when one person felt weak, we all became weak, that person went to the altar, we all went to the altar. Such, such a beautiful sight! I wish all could experience what we are here! PRAISE GOD, enough said! We can all honestly say that we LOVE one another!!

What an adventure this has become! I new in my heart that this was going to be amazing and that God was going to do some amazing things, not only in my life, but in everyone's around me! Its so incredible to see how much is being done in this group of kids! Everyone back home, you think our worship is good! You have NO IDEA! It's so free and so unashamed to raise your hands, and just submit yourself entirely to our lord! Today our TEAM truly fell in love with one another! It was a slower day today. FINALLY! we had so much fun with everything today with the face painting and balloons, watching the cosby show, and just hanging out with everyone! I'm having the absolute best time of my life!
-Church Family, Love you all! Please keep praying for us, we will always need that, especially when its time to head out to Japan.
-Mr.& Mrs. Lester, thank you so much for introducing this idea to me! It's truly changing my life, and without GOD using you to get to me, i dont know that it would all have been the same.
-Rob, sum ting wong! Your right about the bullet! One of the speakers talked about it! and i was wrong! Love you, miss you! Thank you for letting me use your bible! Its been of great use and is being used greatly!
-Mom, thank you for letting me do this! I'm having the best time of my life, and i really feel that GOD is using me, and i know now what my purpose is! I love you to the moon and back! Miss you!

-Sammi, i haven't forgotten to get you a fortune cookie!
-Stacie and Calvin, Thank you so much for getting me here, and putting up with my emotionalism! I'm having so much fun, and you two are just the best! love you!
-Shane, Oh mylanta! I cant even believe that you ate Cuban food for two weeks! We had it for dinner tonight, it was the worst tasting thing ever, and in the middle of WORSHIP service, i felt terrible, and in the middle of it all ran to the bathroom and puked my guts out! it was terrible! So kudos for your strong stomach!
LOVE YOU ALL BUNCHES!!!!
