Yakiniku!!!

Here is one of the best resturants that you can eat at in Okinawa, Japan. This is where you get a bunch of uncooked niku (Meat) and go to your table where there is a little grill. You toss your food on the barbee and chow down!! Ahh this food is awesome. And while you're are waiting they have all you can drink soda, cotton candy, ice cream, and precooked meats and soups! Good stuff here!



YessAsa!! Of course this place is number 1!



This meal is a little more expensive, around $9.80 a meal, but it is worth the full belly afterwards!!!

Barclay Court Outreach

We came out here...passed out some tracts and flyers, and lead some worship right on the busy street of Barclay Court....right in front of a Drive thru Starbucks! Some of you might think I'm ruffing it out here....surely thats not the case as you can see from the trip we made the a store called BEST....which is really just like a BestBuy back in the States.


What we did here is hop in some massage chairs and get down with our bad selves. Mostly it put people to sleep. I wet my pants when I got on it, but thats just me....for Tom on the other hand, he was literally about to cry...poor Tommy baby....




Good times after a fruitful outreach!!!

Sorry!!!

It has almost been a month!!! Man time has flown....but i will try to do some makeup BLOGS here....so get ready....here they come!!!!!!!

The "What Resturant is this?" Game!!!!

Where can you draw on tables and chow on great chocolate cake after dinner?!?! Did you guess yet...well for all lovers of Italian food...you better know....yep that is right, they have a.....






MACARONI GRILL!!!! whoooowhooooo!!! They have the Macaroni Grill here on Foster base...and when I went and spent the night with the people I minister with on Sunday night Youth group on Foster...they took me here!! It was a blessing....mmmm i chowed on some veal....reminds me of the day that Jon, Lina, and Krystal took me out before i left....tears.....haha good times.

Pray for Mark!

This is Mark...Mike and I were witnessing around the church and we saw this guy...so we walked up, started talking to him, and he ended up excepting Jesus as his Lord and Savior....he

is a Catholic that goes to church every Sunday, like most Philippino people, but he didnt know for sure if he was going to heaven or not...and since he had never said or really prayed that he believed that Jesus died for his sins, he prayed it....i know i will never see this man again, and most likely you will neither, but know that this man will be in heaven, and I am sure because our Lord promised us in His Word that if we "confess our sins, He is just and faithful to forgive us..." and usher us into Eternity with the Father...Praise the Lord huh?

Please pray for the Philippines!! 70% of the island are believers in Catholicism, which is great because they know about Jesus, but I believe that most people are like this man, Mark, dead in their dead religion of Jesus in the Catholic faith. Not that people that are Catholics are going to go to hell, but so often (even with our Christian church all over the US) we as people lose our faith in Jesus, and end up serving a church or a person. Please, if you do not know Jesus in a relationship, give your life to Him! He will bless you beyond reason!

Before and After

Here is my before and after beautifulness!! Yessss i love it! But the story of my actual just haircut is crazy, to make a long story short....i thought i was getting my hair cut by a woman...but really it was a man dressed as a woman, straight up a transvestite...i was pretty grossed out, obviously since I am not very ready to approve of that sort of thing...but it really made me think about just sin in general, it is very deceieving, and I really prayed for that person's sin, and not just a "gross transvestite" that cut my hair... all in all, it was a crazy experience, but it only cost me 40 Pesos, which is like .80 cents, so i was happy...i just left pretty quick....

look at what RJ did to my head!!! he is awesome!! we just were messin around, last night before we went home...what ya gonna do to someone your not gonna see for a long time....make great moments!!! Here ya go!

This is how they came out...if you couldnt see it in the video very well.... ILOILO on both sides of the head...and an awesome Calvary dove....

This is a pic of Grace and her son Edrick...i drove them down to the airport the day we left...nah just kidding...we just saw this bike and took a picture. It is a memorable picture....and that is because Grace takes pictures....she doesnt like to be in them...so thank you Grace for the nice picture of you and your son with me!! Love ya guys...

Balut and Pizza!!

Well...i am a philippino now...i have done it all...ive been to manila, eaten with my hands, gone to the SM mall, and now have eaten BALUT!!!! Balut is a duck embryo that is stopped before it is hatched, and hard boiled. What you do is crack the eggshell, suck down the embryonic fluid (haha that is gross sounding...but it just tastes like chicken broth with no salt), and peel away the rest of the shell, pour some salt on it (very important...or you would taste EVERYTHING!!!), and chow the whole egg....as you can see, Matt took a bite off it, didn't chew it whole....check out its insides....mmm....now my turn...



Somebody took my camera and got this picture...really it looks funny, but i did enjoy it. The taste was fine, but the grossest thing was the textures of the duck in your mouth... yeh think about that one....the egg shell on the inside is pretty amazing...alright enough grossing you out...

Oh yeh and my pizza (first picture) was really good! That's it, it really wasnt about the pizza at all...i lied, sorry.... till next time!!!!!

Sunday Worship

This was a definite blessing from the Lord...Tom asked me if I could lead worship on the Sunday morning service, I felt really privileged to do it for the Lord. It was especially cool because I had never got to play with really any of these guys (other than Zach, on the box in the back), so here are the names:

Mark Starr (Bass masta), Zach (djembe freak), Matt Gaston (Matt the Mean guitar licks brotha), and Casi (Gospel diva extraordinare)....

nah all joking aside....these guys were a blessing, and really we had no time to practice, but the music and vocals were so fresh, i was worried, but God was so faithful and blessed me with some sweeto time in worship with my friends. Praise the Lord!

Eatin at Barrio Inasal

Ahh man....this is the famous Barrio Inasal...here you see that you eat on a fresh plate of banana leaf, but those utensils I did not use. As you can see in the far right picture, my hands have food on them...yes, culturally Pinoys either eat with utensils or just with there hands! It was great...and look at that chicken, and garlic rice, and pork....mmmm...its making me drool again. But that wasnt it....go down to find what else we had...



Ahh...this is the BEST mango i have ever eaten in my life....this is the seed of the mango, and you can suck on it for like 30 minutes and still get the juice out (reminds me of momma's porkchops...ahh i miss your food!)...but after that huge meal...i had to work it off by monkeying around...fun times.

Sweet Fellowship in the PI

In this pic all of us Bible College students had to introduce ourselves and had to say one thing that we liked or liked to do. I said that I liked to worship, but that I like Fruity Pebbles and Colgate. They laughed at me, like usual. lol



This was the norm here in the main sactuary on the 3rd floor of there church building...spending time taking pictures, worshipping and jamming new great oldie songs, any spending time with Jesus...awesome.



These are the 4 tomodachis...Ivan, Marku Starru, burnt Danieru-san (me), and Isaac Tovar look-alike Niel...this is a pic of us chillin is the back of a tiny jeep of RJ's. Rj is the cool worship leader dude...blessings to you bro...oh yeh i cant forget little Edrick in the front seat too...he was a cool kiddo.
