Our last two days were filled with several activities. We split the team so that some of us could be with students in Yokohama while others stayed behind to work with students in Chiba. The Yokohama team held one last Texas night, which required a trip to the Tokyo Costco – where they had samples! Later that night we taught our last line dancing lessons and cooked taco salad (with some delicious guacomole, I might add!). The other team did some Tokyo siteseeing with Chiba students, and they got to see an answer to a prayer request – Masato showed up to do some siteseeing! The next day, the Yokohama team went to church in Yokohama. Actually, it’s Mariko’s home church when she’s in Tokyo. Then we did some last minute shopping and siteseeing before meeting up with the other team. The night’s activities included refreshments back at Midoridai Church, a party at the sento (that’s the public bath), and then a World Cup party. The sento was an experience, though there wasn’t any pressure to experience it fully. There was plenty of other stuff to do, including cheap and cool massage chairs, food, and more food. The world cup party that followed included a brief thanks and sendoff by the Impact team, and they presented each of us with a photo from Texas night at Midoridai. We love them. We spent our last night at the Oyumino Center, slumber party style. Our last day included a wrap-up meeting, prayer with the Impact staff, and some last minute shopping. Then it was off to the airport and our final goodbyes. I hate goodbyes. Especially when you’ve grown to love folks so much like our Impact friends! We were all sad to leave Japan, though we were ready to get back to the U.S. Still, our hearts were moved by what we saw in Tokyo. Less than one percent of the 120 million people of Japan are Christian, and you can see it in the joyless faces of thousands of people. Millions work and work and work, but for what? There is much to be done in Japan, and our small team was fortunate to be a small part of God’s work there. He was faithful every step of the way. From putting together the perfect team, to providing financial support, to providing prayer support, God was put together an experience that only He could. We loved getting to know and share Christ with the students, and the churches and Impact staff were such an encouragement. To God be the glory for all that He did while we were in Tokyo! So, a final thanks to all of you for keeping up with us on this blog. It’s meant more to us than you’ll ever know. Please keep Japan in your prayers, especially the Impact ministry staff and students! Sayonara, Bobo ボボ
