Aaron from Ch**a

Let me intoduce to you Aaron. For some of you who do not know him, he is our first missionary sent from CCGinowan here in Okinawa. He is serving the Lord in Ch**a. Some of you might wonder why we have to block out faces and some specific words. It is against the law to preach the Gospel in this country and if these missionaries are found out they will be (at the least) kicked out of the country. If you are a local from the country you will be put in jail. Here is a little bit of an article from Aaron's blog. If you want to read the whole article you can click onto his blog http://www.aaronsluciddream.blogspot.com/ . But remember as you write him not to use our christian lingo. He will get the idea of what you are saying. Please read his article below:
Dajia hao!Good news and bad news...First the good news! School has begun! Everything is under way and things are moving fast around here. These first couple of days have been a blast and a great learning experience. Every day we're challenged with new vocab and working on things like grammar, pronunciation, and our character writing. It's crazy how fast they're moving and Tojer and I are really glad we studied ahead a little. Yesterday we had an International Student meeting and I decided to take a "shadow boxing" class, or what's known as Tai-chi. All around town you can see people doing it in the morning, but because we're not so diligent and school starts at 8:00am, they opened up a class on Wednesday's from 3 to 5. So like I said, we're keeping plenty busy around here and are glad we've been able to start school up. It's also nice because there are foreigners from all over the world at the Language College, so it's nice getting to know all kinds of different people. In our A-ban class there are two Americans (Tojer and I), a Korean guy, a Canadian guy, an Italian guy, a Swedish guy, and one girl who is Mongolian. So far 7 of us, but it's kind of strange because the class list has about 14 names on it. We'll see if we get some more students in the next couple days........................
