I have decided that Sunday's are my most depressing day up here. Which is the total opposite of how I feel at home. Monday-Saturday I'm busy, busy, busy. Then Sunday comes and I go to church where I see other families and an unfamiliar church family....and it reminds me of all I have back home. Today we sang a really good song though, reminding me that HE is all I need....and He's still with me, even up here.

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;

For Thee, all the follies of sin I resign;

My gracious Redeemer, My Savior art Thou;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,

And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;

I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.

I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,

And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;

And say, when the death-dew lies cold on my brow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight,

I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;

I'll sing with a glittering crown on my brow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now...

In other news: I was elected an officer of the International Student Club. I wasn't going to volunteer because I'm so busy, but the Director of Admissions volunteered me anyway. So I have a board meeting with that this week.

It is absolutely beautiful up here. I think my favorite part of God's creation is water. I might even give up mountains, for water. Of course, if I live in Japan, I could probably have both...hehe....

Love and MISS you guys...
