wow its been too long.....

ok. i have to apologize. it's been over a month and a half since i've posted on here. anna is disgusted im sure. she updates 3 times a day i think. anyways i did just send an email out so that should be your main source of the info. i do have a funny story though from yesterday. so movies in tokyo or slightly pricey. 1800 yen for a normal person. however, on the 1st of each month they are only 1000 yen. 800 yen off without doing anything! very nice. however of course most of the good movies appearantly come out between the 3rd and the 20. wouldn't you know. also even though i live in one of the busiest areas of the WORLD, none of the theatres in shibuya have more than 4 screens. now atleast none of the movies are doubling up and showing the same thing as another. so that is a positive. but there are 5 theatres at my station and here is the breakdown of screens per theatre: 4, 2, 2, 1, and 1. ARE YOU SERIOUS!? and one of the movies was a french (or italian, not sure) movie. therefore foreign language (french or italian)AND foreign subtitles (japanese). a little much for me to follow. actually the 2 movies i wanted to see opened 10/3 and 10/10 (although appearantly it premiered in tokyo 9/21 but who knows where). now here is the real kicker. the last showing at ALL the theatres....was between 7-7:45. what is that?! shibuya is hopping till 1am everyday. in decatur during school on the weekdays movies don't even START till 6. whewww. anyways good part of it was we found all the theatres in the area. and there was some adventure involved. (and yes i know i used WAY to many capital letters in there.)

anyways, i just got back from a retreat last week in the mountains. and this week we start rolling on going to the universities. so prays would be amazing. ya'll feel free to pray for anna, paul, and mallory my peeps elsewhere in the world. amazingly ive heard from all 3 of them in the last 3 days! so i know they would appreciate some prayin' too.

you guys are great!
