Bandai and Bowling



We had a rare opportunity to to hang out with Okubo sensei yesterday. He is our friend, pastor, and an important teacher at Wakakusa English School. We went to Bandai-Atami for a hike to see the autumn leaves. It was beautiful. The best part of the whole day was seeing Okubo sensei able to just relax and hang-out for a while. He works so hard...six, sometimes seven days a week (if you count his Sunday sermon and Sunday school teaching). Last night, in a rare moment, Okubo sensei agreed to go bowling with us on a whim. It was really fun. We had some dinner, and after an already full day, we went bowling for a little exercise in silliness. It was very therapeutic. We really like that guy.

Please keep Okubo sensei in your prayers.
