6/24/10

I'm getting very confused with the dates. Oh well.

Today was pretty cool, we went to all 3 campuses (Doshisha, Kyodai and Ritsu). We had Eukiyum lead us through all of the campuses. It was exciting to see the campuses again after a whole year. While we were at Doshisha, we met with a Japanese student (I forgot her name) and she told us about how she became a Christian and how she wants to help her friends now. We also met a staff worker that's working with Eukiyum. Then we went to Kyoto University. Kyoto University, or Kyodai, is the second best school in Japan (behind Tokyo University). The atmosphere at Kyodai is very gloomy and kind of intimidating to be honest. Doshisha's atmosphere was somewhat lighter, but the only difference between the two campuses was that there were 2385792475908347205 bikes lined up. After we toured around Kyodai, we went to Ritsu. I was very excited because I was supposed to meet up with two students that I met last year, but I had told him that I would be coming to campus around 12, and we didn't get to Ritsu until 4:30. So when I got there, the two student's were gone. For the most part, everyone loved the atmosphere at Ritsu because there were a lot of students walking around, and there were a lot of people dancing. Although I'm going to miss going to Ritsu this year, I'm excited to go to either Doshisha or Kyodai this year.
When we got home, I had to take a dump so I ran into the house. When I finished doing my business, I reached over to get some toilet paper. I noticed something was different. Yep, there wasn't any toilet paper. I then opened the door and yelled out for help. Thankfully, someone responded and I told them about the pickle I was in. So some people from my team ran to the convenience store to get some TP. If I were talking to my sister, I would have said "I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!" and she would completely understood. So after waiting about 15 minutes alone and bored on the toilet, I got my desired treasure and was satisfied.
Even though this may seem like a pointless and moronic story, it really got me praising God for blessing me with such a cool team. I honestly was kind of worried prior to this trip because I didn't know how my team was going to be, but now I'm praising God for everyone here. =]

  1. The boys are happy you were able to find your treasure. Nolan/Shane/Luke will be happy to send you more treasure if needed. I had to explain what TP was to Shane though. Mark
