| | Shalom ya'll,
how is your week going? Mine is going great. I've been keeping busy, working at camp, doing English practice with some language school friends, gardening, etc. Good stuff. I don't think I have any pictures just yet, although I did take a picture of dinner tonight, which was gorgeous, and tasty I might add. So...ya, let's get right to it shall we?
Thursday was a big day, as I went to camp to help out there, but before Thursday I went with Maki to do some shopping in different places, most notably we bought a few light fixtures that really lighten up the apartment. Oh, I'll go ahead and take a few pictures, just a sec...
Well lets just get to the OBC stuff then. Okutama Bible Chalet, which
I've mentioned many times, is the camp that SEND runs in the mountains
of western Tokyo. This particular time I was helping out with
maintanence and cleaning while a ladies group from the military base
was retreating. I had some good times picking the brains of senior
missionaries, a church planter of about 30 years and the camp
maintanence director who, along with his six kids, pioneered the small
homeschool movement in SEND Japan. Here's a few pics from that nice
time. Unfortunately I don't have shots of the missionaries, just a
quick walk down by the river and Japanese style cafe after twilight so
these will have to do.
After coming home from that I had a nice day at Church on Sunday,
followed by gardening at the SEND center today on Monday. I also had a
chance to talk to a retired missionary who is substituting for a guy on
home service, as well as a missionary who had been in Japan for two
years as an English teacher and just returned this past Summer to start
full time language study. We cut way too much back in the garden, but
nobody was there to stop us except his one year old daughter and it
only took an empty pepsi can to distract her so we really brutalized
those plants. But they'll grow back. School starts next week, I think
I'll start preparing for that a little more until then. Thanks for your
prayers guys! God bless you all.
