Day 4: Tuesday

How much can Tokyo stand? We're here to find out! =) Today was a slower day... Some got up this morning to go to the fish market at 5 am and a few of us passed in order to get some much needed revivalist-rest. We added pineapple and bananas to our team breafast and had an agenda meeting and hung out-- there was too much rain to do anything else! I am really enjoying my team; they all have such vision and unique goals. There's a lot of purpose in our power-packed group of ten.

Cultural experience of the day: the bathhouse. It is exactly what it sounds like. The girls of the team all went for a "bonding" experience. Nothing like complete exposure in a foreign setting to make you feel chummy. Enough said.

On the way to our meeting, we picked up a meal to go (there's a Japanese word for it-- I'll figure it out) and wondered around a colorful shop-strip. I got some chocolate covered almonds to satisfy my chocolate craving and we all sampled some fried potatoes that were pretty great. Nothing like lots of walking and trains to get your appetite going!

Tonight we met with the YWAM base leaders, had some phenomenal worship, a message from Donn, and then our team prophesied. It's so good to refresh those that are in the trenches fighting for Japan. There really is nothing like meeting up with brothers and sisters and recognizing them by the Jesus in their eyes.

Over and out!
