Yukiko and prayer

On Saturday only one person came to my adult class in the afternoon. This class from the beginning has had a lesser number of people and the most consistent attenders called before to say they couldn't make it. But Yuki showed up and I was glad to have a student. She is a fun girl to talk to, interesting and she does like to talk. Sometimes it's hard to make her stop, ha! But it's good because she really wants to learn.

After we finished class she went to talk to Sudo Sensei, I didn't know about what but later he told me what she said. She was asking about the prayer meeting on Wednesday because she is interested in attending. Apparently she has some kind of problem that she would like to share and be prayed for. She has a Christian friend who has been encouraging her to go to church. I didn't realize until Saturday, but of all my students she is the most open to the gospel. And I think she is ready. Please pray that she would come on Wednesday and that she would have the courage to share her problem and the church members would act in wisdom and love to encourage and support her. And of course pray that through her hardships she would come to see Jesus as her Savior, Lord, and help in time of need.

Yuki also asked Sudo Sensei what she could do after I leave to continue studying English. She and my other student Sayoko, who I've mentioned before, have been wondering. (Please pray that on Wednesday I have the opportunity to share the gospel with Sayoko when I offer to give her the electronic dictionary I have.) The original tentative plan I made was to be here for these three months and then see if God is leading me to come back in April to June of next year. I have felt that this is what God is leading me to do, but I would like your prayers to make the right choice. My choices don't just affect me, but they have a great affect on many others too.
