We decided to go to her house to have a picnic. It turned out to be a good day. We ate from our obentos, shared a snack and the kids played. After a while the kids all moved into the playroom. We began to talk about everyday stuff. Then she asked me "What is Easter? Why is it celebration?" The Lord has given me yet another opportunity to share the Gospel with her again. For 45 minutes of uninterrupted quite, I was able to show her in the Bible about the cross. I was able to share with her what Jesus did for her. How he gave His life willingly for her. I was able to show her about the Resurrection. She was shocked to hear the Jesus "physically" was raised from the dead. {she kept saying "physically? physically?"} She had many questions again today.
How old do you have to be to become a Christian?
If I die will I go to heaven?
What is sin?
Why did Jesus take my punishment for sin?
She said her mother and father are Buddhist. She told me, "I am still searching."
So you see, God was in the rain. At the park we might not have been able to talk uninterrupted. Under the cherry blossoms the subject might not have come up about Easter. I am thankful today for the rain! She is looking forward to church on Sunday. This will be her first Easter service and I am praying that maybe this Sunday will be the day she becomes a Christian. The day she asks Jesus in her heart. Please continue to pray with me for my friend.

Oh Lord, YOU are soooo all over this relationship. YOU have gone to great lengths to put them together. Even the typhoon wind obeys you. Lord, we send our prayers there - they will arrive right on time - to the Easter service and the hours before and after. What a fertile ground for the seeds already sown.
