Last Days in Yonezawa
Monday we went to the mission school in Oguni. We got to meet some of the students, ride their back hill (sticky, wet snow!) and talk about God with them. Most of them aren`t Christians but were curious to talk to us about our faith.
月曜は小国にあるキリスト教独立学園に行きました。生徒たちと裏山でスノボしたり、神さまの話をしたりしました。だいたいの生徒はクリスチャンじゃなかったけど、僕らの信仰の話に興味をもってくれたよ。
Back in Yonezawa we went out for dinner with Takashi from Zeail, it was great to spend some more time with him.
米沢に帰ってきて、ＺＩＡＥＬのタカシとごはんを食べに行ったよ。彼とまたあって話せるなんてすてきだ！
Tuesday was bluebird and Travis and Moni went riding. Everyone else was either sick or injured…Michelle - Knee; Bruce and Jesse - cold/flu; Seiya - a visit to the dentist. Travis and Moni had a great morning riding with some guys from Zeail, but in the afternoon Trav crashed on the spine and dislocated his shoulder! Its unbelievable really, all 3 days that we rode in Yonezawa someone from our team went to the hospital. I know snowboarding is dangerous and accidents happen, but I really think this could be part of spiritual attack.
There were also other things happening to the SfC leaders. Please pray for us and for the Christians here. Pray especially for the discouragement that so easily comes with sickness and injury. 小春日和の火曜日、ＴｒａｖｉｓとＭｏｎｉはスノーボードに行きました。ほかのメンバーは調子が悪いか怪我をしてたんだ。Ｍｉｃｈｅｌｌｅはひざ、ＢｌｕｃｅとＪｅｓｓｅはかぜひき、誠也は歯医者さんに・・と。ＴｒａｖｉｓとＭｏｎｉはＺＩＥＡＬの子たちと朝のスノボを楽しんだんだけど、午後Ｔｒａｖｉｓは肩を脱臼しちゃったんだ！ホント信じられないよね。僕たちが米沢でスノボした3日ともティームの誰かが病院のお世話になるなんて。確かにスノーボードは危険だしアクシデントはつきものだけど、これは絶対霊的な戦いだと思うよ。ＳＦＣのリーダーたちにはほかにもいろいろおこってるんだ。僕らのために、またここのクリスチャンのために祈ってください。特に病気や怪我で僕たちがくじかれないように。
Tuesday night we had a great dinner and SfC Bible study at Makikos house. It was a great wrap up to our time in Yonezawa. The team was so blessed by everyone we stayed with.
火曜の夜は真紀子の家ですてきな食事をした後、ＳＦＣバイブルスタディーをしました。米沢滞在のいい締めくくりの夜でした。ティームのみんなは、米沢のみんなと、とても恵まれたときを過ごしました。
Wednesday was a travel day back to Gifu. This time we had some good weather and were able to see Mt Fuji from the window of the bullet train! 
水曜は岐阜に戻りました。天気が良くて、新幹線の窓から富士山も見えたよ。
