back home

Hey there all,
well im back at my home in Japan now, after a good holiday. It was very fun to be traveling around and getting sometime off work. I was able to meet up with lots of people that i have met through working at northstar and was also able to stay in friends houses while on my trip. I spent only a few days in Osaka and then went off to tokyo, i spent a week there just checking things out and having fun. I saw all the popular places and experianced riding the train system there, very crazy if you have ever thought that the sky train in vancouver or the train in calgary is hard go to tokyo. I also got the chance to go to a Japanese rock show and on saterday night i went to a church that was having a youth gathering, i was really cool for me to see so many Japanese people praising God. Also that night there was 3 people that commited there lifes to Christ.
Well now im back at north star and the snow has mostly melted, and we are preparing for our mountain biking season. We already have a camp coming this friday so if you could just pray that we will be ready to go hard again. Thanks tons all.
