- overnight camping on a deserted island where we chased away thieving monkeys who got away with a bag of marshmallows
- ate YUMMY Chinese food
- experienced a bit of America (tear) such as Popeyes (my first time actually) and Sephora (amazing)
- rode the tallest observation ferris wheel in the world
- got some henna done for the first time! yay!
- watched Sherlock Holmes in the theater (this was a big deal since movies in Japan come out like 6 months after America)
- experienced the Night Safari
Well being there, I missed a chance to speak to a Japanese family, and it started stirring up a sense of urgency in my heart. Then fellowshiping with other Christians and hearing stories of how God is working in their lives and surroundings, I was challenged to finish my term well!
So coming back to Tokyo was a great feeling. Tokyo has become very normal to me now, and I missed it. I missed Japanese rice, green tea, my bed, the train systems, Japanese people. I am excited to be here again and I pray that God will give me a great New Year to share Jesus and find those whom He is working in, and to continue building in my relationships with my friends here. Yay!
it's great to hear that you felt the sense of urgency... and maybe it sounds like japan is starting to feel more like... dare i say... home?? let's keep praying for the people of japan, your team, and the great things to happen in 2010. happy new year, sonya!
