Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

[@signeknudsen8513]

Most Japanese people have studied English for ten years in school. They are shy about speaking and will say they don't speak English but in fact a person who speaks no Japanese will have no trouble getting by in Japan. Most Japanese understand English grammar better than many native English speakers. They value education there. The Japanese people have to learn to read and write 2000 characters in order to be fully literate and are learning them right through high school. It's a different mentality there. They are diligent people. Also polite, kind, peaceful, ethical and fun-loving.

For fishing you can usually find Suzuki (a sea bass) under salt water bridges that have lights on the bridge and you can find chinu usually around the boats by the seawalls. I've found that the tiny crabs work best for chinu with a small hook and size 4b weight just above the hook (the lead ones that you squeeze with pliers) both make for a great meal but Suzuki is by far more fun to catch.

Hey Mav, I subscribed to you awhile ago when I was looking for inspiration for my own stealth set-up! …I just started making van-life youtube videos and you were one of the people that inspired me to do it! ..keep up the good work man, your vids are so fun! 😊

[@alexdrexter6052]

Kyle, I literally just subscribed to you last week!!

Favorite KZbinr to watch, super chill, always positive about everything and basically feels like we’re on the trip with you seeing the world😂 usually watch before I fall asleep maybe after the army I’ll do this minus the camera👍🏽

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have to give props for putting yourself in a situation where English is not the main language. However, the experience that you'll acquire could be a great one. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos

damn so cool to see you tour Japan, visited there for the first time just as corona was kicking off was an absolute blast. Those Merch designs are also top tier 👌

Hey Mav, at some point it would be awesome to see a road-trip through parts of Europe. Really enjoyed this video!

[@TSUNAMI_007]

I don’t know why but seeing you here in Japan doing your thing just put a smile on my face, hope that you enjoy your stay and have a great Travel and adventure👍 Good luck Mav❤️

I love this so much! Quite surprised to see you doing a video in Japan, but it was the BEST kind of surprise! I can't wait to see where you go next. 日本にいた頃が懐かしく思える。😭
