Day 7: Friday

This morning the girls on the team and Donn went on a fashion tour with a to-be buyer named Masa. Yu went with us to interpret and we had an amazing time in Sunshine City and Hirajuku enjoying Tokyo's crazy sense of fashion. There is no real way to capture how truly fashionable this city is; they have their own style and everyone always looks dressed to the last accessory, men and women, young and old. We found some really amazing pieces too; I'm telling you that I found the place to buy everything "my style"-- if I had the resources... they would be spent, haha.

Right after the tour, Donn, Ally, Joanna, Kristen, and I jumped on a bus for a 1.5 hour train ride to a church where our team did a service. I did prophetic art and then after sharing a few testimonies and doing a little teaching, we did some team prophecy and gave words to the congregation. During ministry time, the presence of the Lord was really heavy and it was apparent to all who were there. It was really great to be at this particular church because the Spirit was very present and welcomed there-- we even received some refreshing at the end from them and I was given a couple prophetic words.

We missed the last bus so some very generous church members drove us all the way in to Tokyo and now-- here I am! Another memorable day in Japan, that is for sure. Hopefully I can get some really solid rest tonight... our whole team needs it! Lots of go-go-go. Without a doubt I am loving this nation and my time here, but I am ready to come home! We have a few busy days remaining, but that only means there's sufficient grace awaiting.

Fire and shalom to you!
