The next moring, our kids had fun waking up some of the students who overslept! We enjoyed panckes and eggs for breakfast.
Updates on the life and ministry of the Pfeil family - missionaries in Japan with MTW. We have recently moved to Tokyo to support Grace City Church Tokyo, and look forward to helping start the next Tokyo church-plant.

Crossway "Overnight"
We had 5 Japanese students and several other friends spend the night. We watched the Christian movie "Fireproof" (which you can rent in any Japanese video store under the name "Firestorm"). We had a good discussion about relationships, and then stayed up late playing games and playing the Wii (you can see it projected against a white sheet in the background!)

Jon Translating at Oyumino Alive
It has been a great blessing to work together with Dedachi-san, our Japanese Pastor. When I lead the worship service in English, he translates into Japanese, and when he leads in Japanese, I usually translate for him into English.
Translating sermons takes more preparation on my part (working through the sermon script in advance) but has been good language learning and good ministry experience for me. I've done it 4 or 5 times now and each time I've felt more and more comfortable and had to rely on my notes less and less. Language learning is a life-long process!
