"Farewell" at Manila Japanese Christian Church マニラ日本語教会のみなさん、しばしご機嫌よう!
「ダブルクリックして大きくみてね。」
Fellowship with MJCC members: We had a Palm Sunday preach titled, “The time we choose to love someone ‘til the end, we will find true “freedom” in us.” It was kinda challenging for me to be transformed.
For a half year I committed to go to and serve MJCC, the people there have been so awesome, they have been now more and more jolly, happier, and energetic in order to see how great God's works are upon them.
すばらしい日本人教会のみんさん、この半年ほどの間僕をこころから受け入れ、いろんなアドバイスで僕を育てて下さってありがとうございます。またみなさんにお会いできることを今から楽しみにしています。東京方面に来られたときはぜひ、お茶を一緒にしましょうね。

My Graduation day!ハレルヤ、ついに卒業式
On the Saturday April 4th, 2009:
I felt like I have been already far away from being as a seminarian back in Japan but once I came back to the beautiful campus and attend in my own graduation, I could only find amazing God’s grace in my old days here in Manila in the Philippines. It was just awesome that God had sustained me for more than three years-of-study which was pretty hard for me not only to finish all my credits but also to acheve a better quality in my study.
Well, I can say that I did all my best at that time, but at the same time I confess that studying at a seminary was not only my goal, but there were several desires I alwasy wanted to cultivate. I never gave up to improve skills of my Trumpet and Piano and more than anything building up the relatioships with my friends was “MUST” and far more important than merely doing study. Becauseu of them, it might have a little bit limited more study(it sounds like an excuse though, well, it is acceptable to myself)
この3年3ヶ月の間、神は僕にマニラで神学の勉強を学ばすことを許され、はっきりいって牢獄に入れられていると思う日々を送っていました。提出期限前は最高、睡眠時間が30分だけで、数十分後にはもうその日の授業がスタートするという時もありました。「神さま、お願いですから寝させてください!」と文句を言いながら本気で叫んでいました。ハッキリいうなら、勉強自体に苦労したというよりも、「本当の学問とはなにか?」と、「なぜ(高得点を取るために)教授達を喜ばさないといないのか」という疑問に板挟みされていました。後者の質問の”コツ”を掴むことが最後まで十分にできなくて、苦労しました。もっともっと楽しみながら純粋に勉強したかったです。(もしそうならもう2年卒業までかかっていたでしょう)なのでこれから死ぬまで勉強を楽しみまーす。
まず、①勉強嫌いの僕が、勉強が大好きになりました。勉強にいくら時間を費やしても、楽しめる感じです。
Let us do "Naruto of Night" next time again!
