Fun Times

Well, things are continuing pretty normally here in Japan. Some highlights since the last post include getting to do Shodo, which is Japanese calligraphy. It was really really fun, and I hope to be able to do more of it in the future. Also, there was snow! Apparently a pretty rare sight to have substantial snow in Tokyo. In the neighborhood where I live we got about 2 or 3 inches. Enough that I could build a few respectably sized snowmen. One of which is still holding on out front, though it did tip over a few days ago... It was great to finally have something nice come from cold weather! Another fun thing, just today I got to attend my new church for the month. This month it is Ikegami church, which in in the south and slightly west-ish part of Tokyo. I was the only foreigner in attendance which was great, it gave me a chance to have an (almost) entirely Japanese speaking morning and afternoon! Really fun, plus a great lunch after the service. I sent out my January newsletter out a few days ago, but forgot to put it up on the blog, so here it is! enjoy. January Newsletter
