Tokyo!

Tokyo is a beautiful place. My first impression as I was taking a train into the city was: wow this is beautiful!...and there are a lot of rice patties. The place I am staying is wonderful, and because of the length of the trip I am not feeling too jet lagged. All in all it was about 23 hours of travel from when my plane left DFW-not as bad as I was expecting.

I am staying in a missionary guest house, had a lovely breakfast and devotion time with the staff here, and am about to head out for the day. I have today to explore, as well as 2 days at the end of the week. Between then I will be doing ministry with teams here in Tokyo, though I am not sure exactly what, I imagine evangelism, prayer walks, and English classes will be in the mix. A guy named Hunter is picking me up here tomorrow morning, so I guess I'll find out then!

I can see how people fall in love with Tokyo, so far I'm digging it.
