The Mask

I came down with a nasty cold, dry cough and a headache last Tuesday. Had to spend most of the day resting in bed.

Here in Japan, people wear a mask when they have a cold. This is to prevent spreading the germs to others. Quite a good reason to wear one...but not a comfortable one indeed. You have a runny nose and wearing a mask, imagine what happens. Also, you breathe out and breathe in the same hot air all the time.

I don't like wearing a mask when I have a cold, but I have to. Or else I get glares from people around me whenever I sneeze or even when I just exhale. Masks make my cold worse, really!

Saturday

Back to blogging...after a very long absence from the blogging scene :)

This week....

* classes had resumed after the winter break

* busy sorting things for packing...can't believe how much I've accumulated for these 5 years...when I came in 2005, I only brought one suitcase!

* got a call from Mailyn...my precious former student in Bethany Christian School decades ago...now a physical therapist in the US and is doing her share of telling others about our Lord as well as discipling ladies in her church. What a blessing to know what God has been doing in her life!

Jesus is rocking Kansai !!!

My tomorrow

Looks like I'm all set to go.
My Bible study group is now being handled by Michelle, the CMS missionary . The Genesis ladies group which Hiroko and I formed in 2005 is now with Kellie, another CMS missionary . A lady teacher from Australia will come next year to take over my English classes. Clearly, God is moving me to a new field and work from March 2011 onward. Where and what is that exactly? I still don't know.
