Trying to get to church on Sunday

Sorry if this blog is really annoying with all the times and stuff.
Ok, here goes!
So, Sunday morning I took the bus at 8:04. It only leaves from their station once every hour. They are station number ten and the picture on the signs in this area is a mermaid. In nearby parts of the town they have fish On their signs and other things like that. So I took the bus to the station. I took the train at 8:33 and I didn't get to Rokko station until 9:15. the free pickup shuttle comes at 9. I guessed that I would miss it, but I didn't really come up with a back up plan. So after too much time I managed to get ona bus that goes near the church. It dropped me off and then I tried to find the church using the map they gave me at the station. Actually I decided to be smart and instead of fruit for the next ten or twenty I just decided to go to the convenience store and ask. I'm glad I did, but I still got lost. I ended up walking up this really steep hill in a neighborhood looking for the church. I walked for bout twenty minutes up hill till I reached it. Think like the hill in whisper of the heart that they ride up on the boys bike. So I get there AFTER the service is over bit o well I just figured I'd stay for the bible study. So I did. That and the potluck. The people were really nice and very amazed that I actually hiked up the whole hill. Um, as I I had a choice. I just took a train 40 minutes to get here, I wasn't about to just go back!so I got a tide back to he station and then after that I missed the bus back to their house and was going to have to wait 50 minutes so they picked me up. I called on a pay phone. I can actually use those you know! So now they Are finishing upa pottery class. I helpf out do some things and we are goingt to have dinner soon. That's it for today!

  5. From what I've read from your blog looks like you really had a rough time in china. I'm glad you got to enjoy some of your there. I'm also glad to read that you made it to Japan safe. What kind of church was the one that you went to, and did you have trouble understanding the bible study?

  6. Hi all! Yay! thanks for all the comments!
    About the church:
    it is called Kobe Union CHurch.
    Everything was in english, so I had no probablem understanding it!
    The bible study was about 1 john chapter 3, the end of it I think. About the end times and anti christ...very interesting.

    Jordan, I am so glad you are reading!
