Day 2: Language arts!

Considering Bishop schools are out for the Summer, today our students had a chance to head back to school! One of the local schools invited our kids to come out and teach conversational English for the day. The chance to interact with international students is often a challenge and always a fun experience, but experiencing the interaction on international soil? Priceless. This turned out to be the trip highlight so far.

For the remainder of our time in Tokyo we will be spending a lot of time connecting with those in our community at English Language Parties, Church services, and day-to-day friendships. Our time here in Tokyo is speeding by and our trip up North is just around the corner. This week will contrast with next week suddenly and soberly. From the wealth and "normal" life of Tokyo to the devestation and destruction of Sendai...it will certainly be an eye-opener. Pray for us and pray with us.



 These kids like the "peace" sign.


Reading, Writing...

The Japanese boys enjoyed saying "beautiful" an awful lot.
