Last night was our first party and it was AMAZING!! We had about 25-30 church members and readers come just to fellowship and enjoy each others company. We began by playing a few "ice breaker games" and then decorated picture frames. This was a great time for us to all share about our families and show each other where we are from. We learned a lot about where these people come from along with what is truly important to them. After this we decided to play one of the greatest games on earth.... PICTIONARY!! They LOVED it! I have never seen a group of adults act so excited and competitive over such a simple game before and i would not have traded it for anything! What a blast, they were too funny!

On a more serious note we have a few prayer requests and updates for all of you who are reading.
1. Yohko has returned home and is anxiously awaiting her next appointment. Praise God for her recovery but let us continue to lift up her next appointment to God.
2. There is a precious woman that attends church here named Reikko. She is one of the kindest and warm-hearted women I have met in a long time and I consider it an honor every time i get to talk to her. Reikko has always said that she is a proud grandma but it was not known until recently that her grandchild passed away 3 years ago; however, she still holds on to the love and care that any grandmother would for her child. Through this difficult time and grief Reikko had a dog, Kurr, who carried her through this rough time in her life. Kurr is now facing death and we are unsure how long he will be with us. Please pray for Reikko, she has already endured more loss than anyone should. We prayed with her today and each tear broke my heart. Pray that she will feel God's presence through this loss.
3. Asako, one of Michelle's readers, father went through heart surgery while we were here and is recovering with flying colors. Praise God!

We love you all so much and appreciate your prayers. God Bless you and keep you safe!

In Christ Alone,
Team OMAC
