Some pics from 2 weeks ago...

Ministry and school have been rolling right along here in Okinawa, but in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it's nice to take time out for weddings... On Friday the 26th of October, Daniel Sedota and Jayme Neumann were happily married by Pastor Tom. One of the best weddings I've ever been to. Laid back, casual, not too long. : )

Basically, for the Pastoral Ministry class, Tom did a class on how to do a marriage ceremony. Pastor Tim, who sat in on the class, will be the pastor marrying his sister and her fiance. The class was a lot of fun to sit in on, plus! I got to be the best man. : D

Happy best man. Really, I was more excited than anyone up there.

To the right, we have Pastor Tim and Ayu speaking to a Japanese man at an outreach we did at Mihama.

Although I advised against it, Jesse tried to evangelize a giant dragon...It seemed like it was going well, but I guess he just wasn't having it...

Here's another pic of Aaron on duty at Futenma........yup, it's hard work helping out in the nursery....

Here's Jayme and Jesse preparing to enter the doorway to the spirit world...Fortunately, and to my own relief, the door was locked. Jayme: "Aww, why is it locked" Aaron: "Why is it locked! Are you kidding! Do you really want things from the Spirit world coming through that door!"...I certainly didn't.

2 Sundays ago. (i think) I got to head down to Naha with Josh and Natsuki to check out an "Industrial Matsuri". The Matsuri, or festival, is held to show off products manufactured here on Okinawa. It was nice getting to sample all kinds of different foods and snacks, as well as getting to see some neat things made here on Okinawa.

The dark area at the upper right of the picture with Josh, Natsuki, and I is from my camera lens cover that has chosen to go retarded. It doesn't open on its own anymore and doesn't always want to stay open when you take pictures...But the picture still came out good I think.

The next day, we did some yard work over at the Girl's D-House. Sosi and Daniel decided that this sign needed to be moved, so they pretty much ripped it out of the ground...Good times. I took a really funny video of Tom cutting back the grass with Party Van, but unfortunately it's pretty long and I don't know if I could upload it.

Well, that's it for pictures from 2 weeks ago. When I get the pictures off my camera, I'll be sure to post up some more recent pics. If you would like to hear more details about what's going on here and things like that, shoot me an e-mail some time or leave me a comment with your email. Also, I really have no idea who actually looks at or utilizes this blog, so if you do, an occasional comment would be nice. Maybe you can leave a suggestion for things you would like to hear more about, or even put in a request for a picture of something or just let me know that there really are people out there who look at this thing.. : ) Well, take care everyone.
