Tachikawa, Japan

Yesterday was a good transition. We went to the Tachikawa Church of Christ and met as a team. We then went with the Takahashi's to Coffee & Curry for a lunch meeting. After we discussed the plans for the week, the team had a chance to get familiar with the local bus station and malls. Today started off with all of us meeting at the church at 9 to meet and have some quiet time. Then there was a large English lesson with mothers and their young children. It was a fun time! Three of us helped the Mortimers with that. Later, Tim, Brandon, and Amanda had individual English lessons. They all were a little nervous about it at first, but really enjoyed it after they got their first session under their belt. Mike and Missy went to Josui Church to help with English lessons there. Josui is the sister church of Tachikawa Church of Christ. Many of the seminary students go there. One of Amanda's students was Joshua who is a student at the seminary. For the rest of the afternoon, we just relaxed a bit before Tim and Andrew helped with a group English lesson, led by Hiromi. The three ladies had a fun time, and we had the chance to encourage them to come to the Gospel Concert later this month.
