Sunday we had a nice morning sleeping in. Chris was shooting for noon but came up short at 11:15am. Not bad since it's probably been 4 1/2 years since he's slept in... We had a wonderful lunch of Kobe beef at ITOH dining. There were several courses involved with the meal, but all were appropriately sized and we never felt overwhelmingly full. It was, of course, delicious. After lunch we walked through Kobe to take in more of the sights and just how life is here. We were able to join the Kohl's at their church, Kobe Bible Fellowship. It was amazing to experience a worship/sermon in another country - let alone Japan. The songs switched from English to Japanese halfway through each song. Fortunately, it was all on screen and phonetically spelled for us to follow along. After church, we were going to have a "light dinner" after our Kobe beef lunch... We ended up at a sushi restaurant (surprise, surprise). I don't know the name of it but as you can see, it has a conveyor belt that runs through it. We just grabbed what we wanted off the line as it came by! It didn't end up being such a light dinner, for me at any rate, because I completely lacked self control... I can't speak for the others but I can say that all the plates in front of us were not just ours! During our time here with J&K, I have been struck by a verse in 2 Timothy that says..."Pursue faith and love and peace, and enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts."
