So we flew out of Redding at 9 am Pacific time on Saturday, April 5th and here in Japan it's now 9:20pm on Sunday, April 6th. That means I've been up for almost forty hours, minus a few power naps, ranging from 5-45 minutes. I'm about to go crash and attempt to get at least 11 hours sleep, but I had to say "konnichiwa" and Japan is amazing! We got here just before sunset and I caught a glimpse of the beautiful cherry blossoms! We're catching the tail-end of the season, but just enough to enjoy it thoroughly.
We had a couple hour layover in San Francisco so I made a few quick phone calls before we had a team-prophecy session. The plane ride was long, but I made the most of the 10.5 hours and worked on my teaching on prophecy, began reading for my next homework-book, slept some, and watched a bit of the sequel to National Treasure. Once we landed in Tokyo-Narita Airport, I got my first passport stamp, discovered bidets in the bathroom, and coddled little Nava (Donn and Dia's year-old daughter) as she gazed with her wide, sleepy blue-eyes at the foreign surroundings. I've taken a few pictures and I'll attempt to share some tomorrow (we'll see what time looks like). After an hour-and-a-half train ride, we took a ten minute walk to our hostel, dropped our stuff, and ran for a bite of food at the local YWAM base. The rice-mix was great, but I have to admit the seaweed was a bit much.
Well, I'm off for a bit of sleep!
祝福 (Blessings!)
