The afternoon began with the long awaited visit to the onsen. \u00a0For the guys that meant Gary, David and me. It was a great time of relaxing and getting to know each other better and soaking in some kind of chemically enriched water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While we were in the onsen, this bright young university student came in and sat next to me. \u00a0We had a great conversation and I met him again in the park adjoining the onsen where he was with his mother.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a hard time at first believing that she was really old enough to actually be his mother. \u00a0His Japanese name was Joey; this was the first time I had met a young man with that name here in Japan. \u00a0Joey seemed quite interested in trying out his English so I introduced him to Mosese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This evening we also went to a church in Sendai started by the FCBC church in Singapore. \u00a0We had visited this church \u00a0on one of our earlier Tohoku prayer trips so it was good to renew fellowship with them again. \u00a0The pastor was very kind and very happy that a YWAM team was coming to Sendai. \u00a0We discussed ways that we could work together with him and his church in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is Gary with one of the church members whose connection to YWAM goes back to the Ome days. \u00a0She remembers welcoming the McDaniel family when they first came there many years ago. \u00a0Her family went to Grace community church along with Sakura and Satsuki Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
