Today was a very relaxing day. Last night, 15 players left and stayed at the Uenoshiba church. Four others went to another church, and the rest stayed at Pastor BJ's. All expressed their joy at being able to worship with the Japanese. The churches are very small and I am always impressed at how faithful they despite their numbers. At Pastor BJ's church, we had the pleasure of meeting his sister and family. The husband is a pastor, and they have recently moved back from Chicago to work at a church in Nagoya. At each church, after the service, we had lunch with the church members. They do this every week. After the services, we had free time until 5pm, when we left for the game with Mr Mizuno's team. He has been involved with the Seahorses for many years and is the captain of the team that BJ plays on called the F.C. Papas. We played 20 minutes against them, and then played 2 20 minute periods of 15 v 15 (instead of the normal 11 v 11). It was a great time. Afterwards we gave gifts of the team brochure and a Seahorse lanyard and Todd gave his testimony. Pray that the Todd's words and the message on the back of the brochure will find their way into their hearts. We showered at the field and then had dinner at Big Boy (formerly Bob's Big Boy).
