Day one... GO!

After 14 hours of flying, an hour on a train and some walking, we arrived at our hostel in Tokyo and I crashed for a solid 9 hours of sleep. Today, sitting in the lobby, talking with one another, sharing verses, having breakfast, it was sweet fellowship as we get ready to head out on a bullet train to the northern part of the country to Sendai. Today, we will be getting to work.

I am surprised at how little culture shock I'm experiencing. Maybe it's because I've always been so attuned to other cultures and grew up always moving, but this is the first time I've been out of the country since I was four. It's sort of sureal, sort of just... every day, to be honest.

I think it's because I'm so set on being in Sendai and ready to work. I have a vision and am set on it, so to think of us having a mission the entire way, in tokyo, at a hostel, on the train, in the market... all of it, it's not hitting me. Pray for my heart, that it really connects in to the vision for this trip in general, and not just in the tsunami effected area.

I'll keep you all posted on how things go!
