Just yesterday I came back from an island called Tonaki Island. It is a small island, that is considered a historical preservation. But this island at the moment has only one Christian on it. His name is Izuru san, and he is the only Christian on the island.

We traveled to Tonaki this week for about three days. We had a Christmas party with Izuru, which was his first one. We worshiped together, fellowshipped, and spent time together. Altogether it was a blessed time. Tonaki is where my grandmother's old house is... So I went to go check that out and all that fun stuff...

This is the main road. It is one of the few roads with lights on it so its easy to find. The Church has a house on this road, in front of one of the few restaurants on Tonaki... I think there are like 3 or 4 of them haha...

Here is a picture from what I call the DoCoMo hill... Because this is the hill that has the cell phone companies' tower on it. DoCoMo is the company so its is dubbed the DoCoMo hill. My grandmother's house is somewhere in that village... Actually... All the houses are in that village...

So we spent some time on Tonaki. It was a good time of fellowship with Izuru san.

But now I am back in Oki (Didn't get sea sick either way praise the Lord)... And we have some random things planned. It is more like we were invited to spend Christmas (and the surrounding days) with many different people... So now our small group is going to have a lot of Christmas's...

Also it looks like I may have a job soon, so please pray as it is an early morning job... 4:30am - 12:30pm, or 10:00am - 6:00 pm... So please pray for all this...

This song has been on my mind a lot lately. Love it... Thought I would share it with everyone.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;

May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
