Psalms 138:8a  The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever...

Today was fairly uneventful.  I had a short orientation session followed by a small lunch with some Japanese students that studied throughout Oregon last year.  Afterwards a friend from my Oregon group and I went exploring around town and ended up finding a billiards locale where we played a few games.  In the same department store, there is also a bowling alley so we will likely get a group to go there sometime.

It's rainy here now as a typhoon is hitting Japan so the cool down in temperature has been very nice compared to the hot, humid temperature that met me my first week here.  I feel like I've been gone much longer than just about a week, but it is encouraging to know I have lots more time to learn the language and meet new friends.

If you could be praying that I get over the cold I currently have that would be much appreciated.
