In the Mail - 郵便物の喜び

I'll admit it - I absolutely love getting things in the mail. Even the rejection letter for a job the other day kinda put a smile on my face. But seriously, over the past few days I have been really blessed by a couple of great brothers in Okinawa. On Friday, I received a book in the mail from Simon. It's called "The story of the Bible gifted to the Japanese" (or something like that). I hope to read it, understand it, and use it to reach out to the people of Hokkaido!


僕はぶっちゃけ郵便物が大好きです。この前、仕事の申し込みが返却された時でさえ（拒否されたなのに）嬉しかった！先週の金曜日に沖縄にいる才門兄弟から本を送ってもらった。タイトルの通り、「日本人に贈る聖書ものがたり」という本だけど、少しは読んでみた。内容はそんなに難しくないけど読めない漢字があるからもっと漢字勉強しなきゃ！って思った。これからこの本を活かして、北海道の人たちにイエスキリストの愛を伝えて行きたいです！才門、ありがとう！

そして土曜日にブラザーチャックから琉球新報の号外が届きました！甲子園をずっと見てたのでこの号外を全部読んでみます！（沖尚だったらもっと興奮しちゃうけどとにかく興南高校おめでとう！）


Then on Saturday, I got a special edition of the Ryukyu Shimpo in the mail from brother Chuck. I had been watching the Japanese High School Baseball National Tournament all along, and was so excited when Konan High (from Okinawa) won it all - the first team in Okinawa to win the summer tournament, and the 6th team in all of Japan to win the spring-summer tournaments back-to-back! (I would have liked it even more if Okisho had been the team to accomplish the feat, but nonetheless, congrats to Konan!) And thanks to Chuck for thinking of me!
