On July 15th Amy and I went up to Kanagi by train and met up with Adrian and Deborah in transit. The entire trip was full of excitement. Upon arriving, the four of us helped a German missionary, Angela, hand out tracts in the area surrounding where she lived. After we finished with this she drove us to Kanagi Chapel where the Messers', the German Missionary couple that ran Kanagi Chapel lived. Once we arrived, Amy and I gave an english lesson to Japanese children, ranging in age from 2 years of age to 6. Meanwhile, Adrian and Deborah were preparing dinner, which we all enjoyed at the conclusion of the english lesson.
Then we went to an Onsen or natural hotspring, which we all seemed to enjoy, and then Adrian and I spent the night at Kanagi Chapel and Deborah and Amy spent the night at Angela's house. After spending the night there we met up in the morning to go and work on the Messer's vacation home. Although such places are provided for the missionaries, due to Heika Messer's severe allergies they had to buy a more modern place which contained less allergens, so we spent the day dismanteling old furniture, removing old grout, stripping the walls of wallpaper, as well as ripping up the old vinyl flooring in some of the rooms. All in all it was a great experience and God was definately with us throughout it all.
