Pastor's conference at Okutama

Monday through Wednesday, I attended the Pastor's conference at Okutama. There were many familiar faces there, including Jon Piper! I was able to hang out with Jon and also with other people. The main theme of the conference teaching was about God's grace. Pastor Bill Stonebreaker and Tim Newman and Bob Haags taught us from the Word. The thing I enjoyed the most was the fellowship time. Was able to talk with many people and just had a relaxing time with everyone. A real blessed time.

月曜から水曜日、パスタース・カンファレンスに参加しました。久しぶりに会う方も参加していて、すごいよい時間を過ごしました。（ジョンもいたよ！）カンファレンスの教えのテーマは神の恵みでした。ビル牧師、ティム牧師、とボブ牧師が御言葉から教えてくれました。一番よかったのは交わりのときかな。多くの人々とゆんたくしながら、リラックスできました。とても祝福な時をもてました。

my first basketball game!

On Saturday the 5th, I went to Tokorozawa with Pastor Rich and Candice to watch a basketball game. A guy who is in the Saitama Broncos team goes to Pastor Travis's church in Tokorozawa. So Pastor Travis invited us if we would like to come and watch the game and cheer him on. However, the Saitama Broncos was going against Ryukyu Golden Kings. So I went and cheered the Saitama Broncos, but the Okinawa team was winning. So in the end, in my heart, I was cheering for the Ryukyu Golden Kings. The final result of the game.....Broncos 75, Golden Kings 96. Ryukyu Golden Kings won the game. It was an exciting game!

　　

土曜日にリッチ牧師とキャンディスと一緒にバスケの試合見に所沢に行きました。トラベス牧師の教会に埼玉ブロンコスのバスケチームに入っている方がいて、試合があるから見に来る？って誘われていきました。しかし！なんと！埼玉ブロンコス対琉球ゴールデンキングスだったのだ！！！！！埼玉ブロンコスのチームにいる方を応援していたけど…沖縄からの攻めがやばかった。結局琉球ゴールデンキングス応援しちゃった（ジャンジャン♪）。結果は………………………ブロンコス７５点、ゴールデンキングス９６点。琉球ゴールデンキングスが勝ちました。とてもすごい試合だった！

Busy and nothing to blog? (only English)

well, these days, I have been busy with the preschool and also with the Bible college, and I have not had the time to post anything for a long time. So to catch-up on some stuff, I'm posting this one, haha.

First of all, at CCFuch, we had a Family fun night on Sunday night. On this particular day, the church (as well as the Preschool) invited the people to come and join for a little carnival time. It is similar to the Fall Festival at CCOkinawa. We had fun games and gave out toys and candies. We even had two of the girls who comes to the jyuku teach the kids some dance moves. About two hundred people came over, and it was just a fun fellowship time.

Second I made a new Okinawa friend here at Tokyo. He came to Tokyo for college, but right now he is working. So on Tuesday we both had some free time, so we decided to go to Round 1. We played some arcade games, but mainly we went to karaoke. It was great just to hang with him and to get to know each other.

Thirdly, Caroline, who came from Hawaii to help out with the preschool left yesterday. She was here for about two months or so. She is planning to come back around April, but still waiting on the Lord for directions. She was a huge blessing here at CCFuchu, and we will miss her very much.

That is about it, and this time it is only in English. So sorry.

Dinner with Rika

Rika Wunderlich (Rob's wife) came down to Tokyo to attend her friend's wedding ceremony. Before she went back to Okinawa, she wanted to see both me and Zach. So she invited both of us to her mother's house for a dinner. It was great seeing Rika again, and I had a blessed time. Rika's mom made some great dinner and also Rika's friend brought home-made dessert.

ワンダーリッチ・りか（ロバートの奥さん）は友達の結婚式に参加するため東京に訪れました。彼女は沖縄に 帰る前にトッキーとザックに会いたいと思い、私たちを彼女の家で夕飯に招いてくれました。りかさんとまた会えて嬉しかったよ！とても祝福な時でした。りかさんのお母さんが手巻き寿司を作ってくれて、りかさんのお友達はデザートを持ってきてくれました！でーじまーさんだったよ！

yesterday after church, Rich, Candice, Caroline, Zach, Aisha, Aisha's mom, and I went to a huge home center close to one of the base here in Tokyo area. The place was huge, and I mean huge. It was like Ikea to me!!! But it was a good fellowship time with Aisha and her mom!

昨日の午後、リッチ、キャンディス、キャロライン、ザック、あいしゃ、あいしゃのママ、と一緒に大きいホームセンターに行きました。そのジョイフル・ホンダはでーじ大きかった、アキアぐらいの大きさ（マジで！）でも、あいしゃとあいしゃのママとの交わりの時間はとても良かったよ～！

運動会！

On Saturday, We Go Eigo Fuch had a Sports day at Fuch Forest park! Many of the families came and had a enjoyable time. The big event for the kids was the relay race, which they practiced at the park by the school, a week before the sports day. And I think the parents enjoyed their event of dodge-ball, but i enjoyed their jump ropes haha. It was just a great blessing to get to know the parents and the kids more outside the school.

土曜日は府中の森公園でウィーゴー英語の運動会が行われました。多くの家族が来て楽しい時間を持てました。運動会のメイン・イベントはリレー。運動会の前の一週間は学校の近くで練習をしていたんだよ！パパママは多分ドッジボールをエンジョイしたと思うけど、俺的には縄跳びが面白かった。学校以外で子供たちと子供の両親と時間を過ごしたのがすごい祝福な時間だった！

Kichijyouji 吉祥寺

Today, a lady from the church, Mizue-san, took me and Caroline to Kichijyouji. We went around the place, and it was packed with people.

For lunch we had Indian curry, and afterwards we went to one of the park and rode on a row boat. It was a great fellowship time and a great day! Thank you Mizue-san and Caroline!!

今日、みずえさんが俺とキャロラインを吉祥寺に連れて行ってくれました。吉祥寺ら辺を歩き回った！土曜だから人がいっぱいでした！

昼にインドのカレーを食べ、その後公園に行きボートに乗りました。とてもすばらしい交わりの時間でした。みずえさんとキャロライン、今日はありがとうございます。
