A break in the weather.

It has been hot around the Tokyo metropolitan with the weather reaching to 33C (90'F) with the humidity to the same percentage. God gave us a nice break from the heat with cool weather. Last night I slept with a blanket. Crazy in this time of July, thank you God.

Stepping out.

Today at the morning devotional breakfast Pastor Santou shared. Pastor Santou stepped out of his comfort zone and shared in English. It is not easy speaking a second language especially when you sharing out of Gods Word. But it was great to hear. Good job Pastor Santou.

Surfing at Kamakura!

Today was a national holiday dedicated to having a fun time at the beach. A group decided to go down to Kamakura to surf the waves. Kamakura is a very old town dating back to the time of the Samurais but now has adopted the surfing culture. I have never seen so many surfers here in Japan. It was special to surf the waves while Mt.Fuji stood in the background.

A clear day.

Never have I seen the city of Tokyo so clear on a day like today. This picture was taken on the famous "Rainbow Bridge" while driving to Kamakura.

CCFuchu Barbeque

CCFuchu held a Barbeque up in Okutama. God really blessed us as the weather forecast said it was going to rain all day but by God's Grace He held the water back. It was a blast to fellowship, eat and relax by the river.

Watermelon!

Watermelon is not a cheap fruit in Japan. A "cheap" watermelon can cost anywhere from $45 to $65 dollars. It was a blessing for the school to have been blessed with watermelon from my aunt.

Great artist.

Here are some pictures Nathan drew for the kids at the daycare. What great drawing. All the kids started arguing on who can take the drawings home. They were disappointed when I said they could not take them home.
