the Lord's Favor

--> Near the beginning of my time here in the Land of the Risen Son I asked for you (my followers) to pray for the Lord's favor and blessings on my life. The Lord's favor is continuously being poured out on me as I live and interact with the Japanese people. A few weeks ago I was at one of my favorite places, the soccer field at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. This is the field where I had previously met the middle school soccer players, and is also the place where I met my new friend Luqman Kimu.
--> Luqman is a young man my age who is studying abroad from his home in Malaysia. He loves soccer, video games, riding bicycles (mountain and street), and is basically my malaysian twin. Luqman also loves his god allah. Luqman is a practicing muslim who loves people and interacts very kindly.
--> Last night for the first time since we met I had the opportunity to hang out with, take tours of each other's houses and eat dinner with Luqman and his friend/roommate from Malaysia Ashrof. Both of these guys are devout followers of the muslim religion and are beautiful men inside and out. I know that their place in my life is very great and I know that by being friends with them our lives will change dramatically.
--> Please pray for my brothers Luqman and Ashrof and our relationship for the future.
