Samaritan's Purse Japan's Mission Trip: March 31 - Day Off

Today Peter, myself, and some others traveled to Ishinomaki to go to the Mall. Peter and I dropped everyone off at the Mall and we went to several builders stores. Much of what they sell here is cool, and not available in the US. We then met the others at the Mall, had lunch and came back to the Camp. I took some pictures of hats in one of the stores, and a number of unusual USB devices.

We ate at the food court, had a hamburger, Japanese style. It was great!

It has been fun getting to know the other volunteers here, some are from Japan, some of the US and Canada, and a few from other locations such as Hong Kong, etc.

Last night someone tripped over my computer bag in the dark and my work glasses got knocked to the floor, when I found them this morning they were scratched. I should be able to use them next week but will have to go to the VA to see if they will replace the lenses.

God is at work here in the lives of those we help as well as our lives as well. Not all the volunteers are happy campers, some are not use to living like this, and some are having problems with the food being offered.
Please pray that they can see past this to encourage them in the work ahead of us.

It has turned cold again today, just when I thought ware weather would stay. Rain started around 4 PM and it makes it feel even colder. The heaters do not work well, especially with people coming in and out. The building has little installation which does not help.

Only Three more work days, we head for Tokyo Thursday, and fly out on Friday.
