Dancin in the rain..

Yesterday (Sunday) the day began as normal, we got up, got ready and headed to church. Then when we arrived we found out that there was a woman there who was from .....PERU! It was so ironic that we found a bit of Peru in Japan. Anyways she spoke mostly Spanish and so Joanna ended up being her "translator." It was just so interesting, but really cool that she got to use that in Japan. Who would have thought??
After the service we had lunch with the church as usual, and then we helped with cleanup again. Then some people headed upstairs and we practiced for later on. Then we took some of the kids to the park (only because they begged us :P)
*Sidenote- I got to share my testimony in church, with Laurence translating. I think it went pretty well!*
After the park we came back and hung out with the "youth" (youth meaning anyone 30 and under!) where they sang some songs and we heard two testimonies, and then we (team+Cambria and Sean) sang five songs, the team performed the drime and Darlene shared her testimony. It went really well and it was a lot of fun!! Then we all went downstairs and had some Okonomiyaki. I can't even describe how good it is!! Hopefully I will learn how to make it so I will never forget the taste. (Although I will probably not be able to make it as good as the Japanese, but that's just life!) Once we were done cleaning it was about 8:30. We were at church for over 10 hours but it was so much fun!!

Today we had a calligraphy lesson with Misaka-san and Kisuna-san from church. It was so much fun. We were working at it for three hours and we did some pretty neat stuff! I have a bunch of practicie papers and a fan and another nicer one. I am so glad we got to do that. It's such a beautiful art I think.
Then after we got home we had supper and then worked on our new drime. If you want to see which one we are doing you can click on the link for the Lifehouse "Everything" Drime, and that's the one. I am the girl, Simone plays Jesus, Amber is the one taunting the girl with money, Darlene is the girl who is drinking, Brianna is the model and Joanna represents death. If we work on it hard enough I think we can pull if off!! We practiced tonight and I have to get tossed around a lot, and now my legs are all rugburned and I got hit in the face once. I won't be able to do that everyday, but I think it'll work out nicely. It's actually a lot of fun, but more exhausting than I thought it would be!!
After we were done practicing we went outside, saw it was raining and decided to have a party in the rain! So we danced in the rain. It was so much fun to just enjoy ourselves and enjoy the rain!! Sometimes you have to take hold of those moments, and just live a little. It's good to act like a kid every so often, and even if I wake up with a cold tomorrow morning, it was will totally have been worth it!

Make the most of every moment because you can never get them back. Don't spend your time wshing you had done something, but when the opportunity arises, go out and do it. Live for today, for right now. Live for the moment.
