Saturday




Yesterday was a really interesting day; we had so many neat opportunities. We began the day by traveling back to the Odori church to help with the kids' club/mission school again. It's a pretty long trip by subway and/or train. The train station is quite an experience-one of the most crowded places I've ever been-but it's an adventure. The mission school started at 10, and we participated in songs, games, and Bible time for the first hour. After snack time, we were given the opportunity to teach the younger kids some English. I got to teach on body parts, and the kids really seemed to get into the lesson. It's exciting to do something we're passionate about and have trained for in school. We stayed in Odori for lunch and then took the train back. We prepared our dish for the potluck party we were invited to last night. The missionaries are invited to this party every year. It is put on by an English club, and it's a really great opportunity to get to know some unbelievers in the area. We had fun and made some new friends. Please pray for us this week as we begin Japanese lessons and continue to follow up on some new friendships.
