Japan is beautiful in spring. the trees come alive, the clouds disappear, and Team Japan heads out to hand out fliers and get lost on trains. yeah, it happened a few times.
We just finished our time with the English school, teaching, fliering, and stapling our days away. Our contact is really good at making things fun though, even if handing out fliers isn`t my top pick job. we have performed for a church, who was so hospitable they did American style BBQ for us! it was so much fun to meet the young people of the church. It seems like the dads are the matchmakers over here though...
Last weekend we joined the
Tokyo YWAM base for street outreach, talking to local people, an worshipping God. It started out quietly, but ended off with a dance circle to some great Japanese/English praise! our team has learnt three more Japanese songs in the last week as well. Thanks youtube!
on our day off the staff decided they were tired, so Em, Daniel and I went to Hirajiku by ourselves. the most trouble we got in is the fact that we couldn't find our train, so the machines kinda ripped us off... we were good students. ;) Hirajiku is like the fashion insanity paradise of Japan. thrift shops and Cosplay abound!
we are also working on a couple videos, so I hope I can post them one day.
Next week we are working with a different school, and it will be a finale to our Japan trip. I have only been here a short while, but it may have stolen part of my heart. one week until Australia, seven until home. It makes me think. What`s the next step? where is God going to lead me next? How am I going to fit that Kimono in my suitcase?!
Are you bringing home a kimono for your momma? Was a dad trying to matchmake for you? Japan sounds beautiful. Love you.
