Sunday Love.

Sunday's are one of my favorite days of the week here in Tokyo. It's kind of our "family day," at least that's how it feels to me. All of the interns, missionaries, and volunteer teams gather at Koganei Park for some good 'ole church! We usually share a few testimonies & stories about the things God is doing in Japan, followed by singing and usually a word from Jeff. After church takes place...We eat delicious Turkish Kebabs & stuff ourselves until we're corpulent little piglets, & then we attempt to burn it all off by playing a rather competitive game of Capture the Flag. (Oh yeah, I should mention-sometimes opponents don't honor sportsmanship and do a little sneaky cheating here and there). Not butt-hurt or anything.

:)

Today we had our usual family time, followed by Capture the Flag in the rain. The rainfall really started to come down. I thought for sure we'd leave the park & do coffee shop ministry, or something else indoors. Well I thought incorrectly. Apparently more rainfall translated to: Let's play a game of Ultimate Frisbee! Although I love this game...

I must admit, I wasn't too enthusiastic about running around some more, especially in the slippery grass (which is certainly due for a trim). Nevertheless we divided up into teams, inviting some Japanese people to play with us, by the names of Kiroji and Mika. (They had another friend but I can't remember her name!) We had a BLAST. I even got the wind knocked out of me in the first five minutes of the game. Took a blow to the rib-cage. Not gonna lie...I started to quietly shed a tear but then attempted to walk it off like a man. HA. Gosh, this was one of my favorite days. You know it's a good day when there's a combination of Tokyo rainfall and sweat in and through your clothing. Also bright green grass-blades in strange regions of the body. What a great day of fellowship. Less than 4 more weeks here. Yikes.
