NOTE THAT PAUL, KOUSEI, DANIEL & LEO WERE INTERVIEWED ON A RADIO STATION. IT WAS LIVE. YOU CAN FIND THE INTERVIEW IN THE BLOG HEADER, EITHER THE COMPLETE INTERVIEW, OR THE EDITED ENGLISH ONLY VERSION.
We woke up at 7 to eat breakfast and then clean up for the church service. All of our stuff had to be packed up as if to leave and carried downstairs to a storage room until after church. At 12, we had lunch across the street again at Sako's. Darn, BLT's again. Oh hurt me. Then we had down time until 4 when we began the shuttle service to the field for the games tonight with F-18 pilot Russell Davis' new soccer ministry. We got there early and had about 90 minutes to kill until game time. The facility is just a few years old and beautiful. When it was finally opened, it just so happened that the Seahorses were in town for a tour and had the honor of playing the very first game there. There were six teams that played, so we play short 20 minute or 15 minute games so everyone could play each other. The team from our host church, Calvary Chapel Iwakuni won the tournament. JMac and Axel played for them. After the game, Russell Davis closed the time with an encouragement for those who came tonight, to keep coming to the pickup games that they have every two weeks. The turnout tonight was great, which was exactly what we had hoped our presence would do to give Russell's new ministry a boost. After Russell spoke, Todd did his testimony and we passed out the team brochures and Paul's life story in both English and Japanese. Then we were shuttled to McDonalds for dinner. The ordering got really messed up and it took almost 2 hours to get out of there. We didn't get back to the church until almost midnight. Tomorrow we get to go to Hiroshima and Miyajima.
