After a long summer break, Chiba University classes started up again in October. We set up a casual coffeehouse atmosphere at Oyumino Chapel to welcome students back.
We enjoyed coffee, green tea, and a special treat - donuts from Makuhari COSTCO!
(Notice that we're sitting on the floor with the cool Japanese tables that can be set at both floor level and chair level.)
It was a good place to re-connect and tell stories from our summer break. Also a good opportunity to re-establish us as a community that values conversation and cultural exchange, but especially in a way that goes beyond the surface, and down to the heart level.
Pray for God to reveal Himself to these students.
Olivia's bilingual kindergarten together with Covenant Community School International had a Sports Day!
We started out with stretching and exercises all together in a big group.
This is a variation on a traditional Japanese Sports day game, except I had to fill in as the raised basket!
Olivia and I enjoyed the 3-legged race together. We were fast!
All the kids lined up to grab treats off a line (no hands). Olivia did great!
Olivia and I also had fun with the wheelbarrow race.
Annabella isn't a student, but we got into the fun with the "rice sack" race. I basically carried thet bag and bounced her up and down as if she was jumping! :)
