Trains....

Well yesterday started out ok and ended fabulously! I have to admit, some mornings it takes a lot to get myself energized and in the mood to go up to random strangers and talk to them... yesterday was one of those days and on top of it I had a gnarly headache. So we were at a park and not many people were there and not many opportunities to meet people, so it wasn't the best spot we've been too.

However, towards the evening we met at a Lutheran Center and had prayer and worship time with ALL the missionaries, interns, volunteers, etc. It was a great time! Our group sang the opening and closing, and then the worship band led us in SEVERAL songs and it was just a great time of refocus and worship through music and prayer.

After the service we went to TGIFriday's in Shibuya and had a great time! I got my beloved Sesame Jack Strips and a pepsi (with free refills.. woot).

The funniest part of the day was on the ride home. Before last night we had only seen the train crunch. Last night, we EXPERIENCED it. When I say train crunch I mean everyone trying to shove into one train car and literally push themselves in with all of their might until there is barely enough room to breathe inside. Me, Nathan, Brett and Christina were in the middle of all of this, and let's just say, as Christina would put it.. "we were spooning with the Japanese people standing up".. it was quite awkward, but hilarious at the same time. Brett and I couldn't stop laughing because he knew how awkward it was.

Anyway, that's my story. 6 days till home!

Please continue to pray for our group, as I know many of you are and we appreciate it so much. We have a lot of singing gigs this weekend and many of us are suffering the repercussions of second hand smoke. It's everywhere!!!
