Day 5

Day 5: SOOOO glad that we got to sleep in this morning, all the way to 8am. For those of you who don't know, the sun actually comes up around 4:30 am here. And thus, it's kinda hard to sleep in past 7. So anyway, we got to have our first group meeting since Robert and Tyler got here. They both said they didn't sleep very well due to jetlag and loud neighborhood cats. Since Robert couldn't sleep, he decided to wake me and David with a loud "rise and shine sleeping beauties!" So that's how our day began. The four of us went with missionaries Joyce and Susan to the XA Bible study at Meiji University. They just started the Bible study there last spring, and it's risky having it there because the university is very strict about religious organizations. Nonetheless, it went well, and we got to do some discussion time with some students during lunch as well. It was really cool because David, Tyler and I got to answer some really tough questions that this one girl (who's a professor) had about God. It was amazing to watch how she started comprehending what we were telling her. After that we started heading back to the train station, but not without first stopping by some of the music stores. No joke, in the distance between the station and the college, there were probably 15 music stores! I went into about 6 of them and no exaggeration, there were probably more than 800 guitars in those 6 stores alone! After that, we headed back to the XA Student Center.
