This weekend could not have been packed any fuller. Friday, we had a team meeting for a few hours, and then headed to downtown Sapporo. We met up with a guy named Kota whom Jonathan met on a previous trip. We went with him, his friend, and Daniel to a famous Ramen shop for dinner. Afterwards, we watched a huge fireworks show put on by different fireworks companies. It was absolutely beautiful.
Saturday, we went to Odori for the last time. Missions school was great; it was a gorgeous day, so we got to spend a lot of time playing with the kids outside. We will really miss that church, and are so glad we got to be a part of it on Saturdays this summer. When we returned, we got ready for the yakisoba dinner party at the Yoshinos' house. Mrs. Yoshino picked us and Megan up and took us to her house. Mr. Yoshino and Nanae were there waiting, and Kazuko (one of Yoshinosan's unsaved friends) joined us too. We had the best time talking, exchanging English and Japanese words, looking at pictures, and playing with their dog, Luca. They are such a neat family.
This morning Jonathan preached in church. He taught from Ephesians 4 on the unity of the body of Christ. Nanae came with Mrs. Yoshino, so we were very excited. We all ate lunch together afterwards. Then, a group of us (some of the missionaries, Megan, Mika, Nanae, and us) went to sing karaoke and to see part of a dance festival in town. It was an amazing day. We are sad that we have to leave soon. We're just starting to learn enough and make enough friends to start to feel settled. This week will be a busy one too. Pray for us as we do what is asked of us and close our time here.
