just wanna post some stuff about the assembly in nagaoka..so far yesterday was my second time there..the first time i went there was by taxi..rm 30 plus..can say quite expensive la compare to bus only around rm6..but since i dint know the place ..

anyway..the assembly here is really small..13 ppl??around there la..2 small kids ,2 high school and one college student...
hmm...the difference about the practise and all is almost the same,except they have unleavened bread for the Lord's supper...dint understand what they were praying about..and they say amen together a few times during a prayer rather than us at the end of the prayer.

after the morning worship is lunch..which shocked me even more cos they bring their own lunch...if in malaysia,everyone share together everything brought no??this is one of the culture differences that i dont really like...

after lunch is prayer and bible reading..unlike malaysia where whoever can voice out their opinion whenever the want.they take turns to do that...so u cant disagree and just nod in agreement.....last week was bible reading in ezra and yesterday was tracting...they gave out tracts at the station....

after that is ministry meeting..yup their meetings continue until around 3.30pm...and they have gospel meetings on wednesday..which ill start attending from this week on..

they are now taking turns to pick me up from sch..which im very grateful for..so i save a lot of time..and money of course
oh..and another thing is that they have a prayer before the donation box is pass around...so if ure in fellowship ure expected to put some money in it..

erm...so far..its the same la..just that i feel its quite cold in here..the ppl are very closed up unlike malaysia,but i think prob its because im still new...well they are being more friendly now..
brother elton fairfield has contacted the brethren here in nagaoka...
there will be a conference in niigata..at least a few hours from here..and the brethren including him from sapporo,hokkaido will be attending it.too bad i dont think i will be able to join..cos studying hours clashes with the conference..

that's about it with the assembly here,im glad i can find some place where they practises the same teaching...just need to brush up my japs and start understanding what they are praying about..lol...
