- We arrived safely in Hamadera, Osaka, Japan around 8 pm on Friday. ~ 13 hr plane ride with a layover
- Saturday - Orientation, music rehearsal, and we spent the day walking around Namba with students from Osaka Prefecture University.
- Sunday - Hamadera Bible Church - fellowship with church members and dinner with OPU students. Steve and Priscilla shared their testimonies in front of the church. Cool stuff. After dinner and after most everyone went home we tried onsen....
- Monday - prepping for the next week. shopping for supporters, etc...
Thoughts: So far I'm absolutely loving it here. It kind of feels like a home coming after you spent a long time away and forgot all of the language except for a few sentences and words...the only difference is that I never knew the language in the first place.
I have no complaints, although I do wish I could get more sleep, since I've only been getting ~ 6 hrs a night so far. It's soo much cooler than I was expecting, so that's been a huge blessing, even though it is humid.
Sharing the gospel is more difficult than in the states, and it's not just the language barrier, the culture is different too.
As you can probably tell, my grammar skills are failing... sad times. ;)

McD's ice cream
Fried mochi
Yes, those are Pringles, I don't know if they taste the same though.
Teriyaki burger - I ate one from McD's tonight...not sure if tastes the same as those pictured below since I didn't have those.
