KGK day two :)

Hey support team :)

Kat DC here

Today started off with the looooongest sleep in so far :D (atleast for Fi, Kev and I who were going to International Christian University and didn't have to meet Miyuki until 1:30pm :)

Then after a brief trip to the first department store we've seen (you could buy bikes and stationary and so much more! and we only go to the first level) because we'd arrived early, we met Miyuki and headed to ICU. KGK has a club room in their club building there, all of the clubs do, and in there 11 of us met for fellowship. We started with singing a song together (which they sung in English to accommodate us!), then opened 1 Corinthians 5 together and shared our thoughts. It was so great to open the Word with brothers and sisters from another culture, and, thanks to three of the members who could speak English, have fellowship bi-lingually!

After this we headed back to MushashiSakai hoping to spend our free time in the department store, buying postcards and gifts, but on the way there I got more and more sick to the point where I had to say to Fi that we needed to find a place to sit like nowwww

that was a challenge

there aren't really places to sit in Japan it seems

so we perched on a wall like the Gaijin (foreigners) we are

at this point, i was not loving Japan I'll tell you

We split ways, which meant I missed out on the prayer meeting tonight :(

And I was not looking forward to catching the train for almost an hour home while feeling so so sick

But then, in Asakusa station (when i finally made it there, took me longer than an hour with all of the stops to sit down and try to stop being nauseous) it all hit me and was going to uh come up (to be lovely) so i just knelt beside a wall where there was a drain, feeling terrible and like I was the most horrible Gaijin ever! Then this lovely lady came to see if I was ok. It was obvious that neither of us spoke the other person's language, so she just rubbed my back until I was done being sick, and could get up.

THEN the dude in the uniform at the station came over and offered me a sick bay sort of thing to lay down in

AND another tourist came over to offer to buy me water or something

I was wondering as I walked away feeling very loved, whether this would happen in Sydney, or whether someone would assume that I was just homeless, or drunk, or not worth their time.

Anyways, there's my day for you!

I did make it back to the hostel, and after sleeping away the afternoon I think I feel much better. Hopefully I won't have to miss out on tomorrow!! (serving at a chapel and lunch for the less fortunate then splitting up into two teams again to visit two KGK groups! YAY!)

In Him
