Trying to Focus

Hi. So the interns are all gone, and the next phase of my term here is starting. It's going to be in transition mode for the rest of this month I believe. My supervisors will be leaving at the end of the month, which I'll be so sad about! Of course we have great interim supervisors who will be taking charge, but getting used to a different leadership style takes time. The rest of this month is also a rest/take a breath/catch up with life sort of time. We will be meeting with high interest contacts/friends for this time, but it's not real pursuing like it was in the summer. It's much more humane. lol.

I don't know why, but I've been having trouble focusing lately. I get really lethargic and drowsy during really important times, and i don't want to depend on coffee to get me through the day :( so I try to stay away from that stuff as much as possible. Perhaps it's because there are too many people to worry about/pray about/to spend time with, so it's all just a big mess in my head. My head feels really unorganized, and I'm trying to get it organized through tangible means, such as writing info on slips of paper, but then when I try to start a system, I forget and then I start another one, and pretty soon I end up with 5 systems i started which I keep forgetting about anyways lol! I think I need prayer in this area...like that I can have a clear head, to organize my ministry here, and to actually get things done I'd say.

Today there were 5 Japanese people at church today :) It was good. I wondered if it'd be awkward without the interns and because my supervisors are transitioning out, but it was actually fine! We got to have worship for the first time in Y-san's house. So we moved from a karaoke church to a Japanese believer's home! She offered her home, and yay it was great :)

3 career missionaries and now 1 journeyman, all on my team, are sick. With some flu. So 3 missionaries were out of church today. I hope I don't get sick!!!

Thank you for reading :)
