Sherwood Chourou - Week 40 in Japan

Konnichiwa!

It's been another simple week, this round. We had many appointments, some of which fell through, others of which resulted in droppings, and a handful more which went pretty well, all things considered. Bit by bit, we're finding out the ripe wheat from among the tender stalks of the Wakkanai people. I find that this takes up a majority of the work effort in Japan, another heavy portion being simply searching for people to teach. While it's difficult to see the results, I'm glad I have the opportunity to do the Lord's work in such a wonderful place! 
That's all I really have to say as for dendou today. In other news, there was a mini snow festival this weekend! Lots of people made these things called ice candles, which is just a sort of pot made of ice in which a candle is placed. They are very pretty, and I have many pictures to share, so do enjoy!
Welp, that's my week. Hope everyone's doing great back home, and have a good week! Matta ne!

Photos:
 - Various ice candle displays,some of which have bonus snowmen (technically ice-men, but it's okay)
 - Someone used LEDs instead of candles. Cheater.
 - Only the mightiest of the frozen chosen may sit upon the penguin's glorious throne
 - An igloo. The inside had an ambience similar to that of a cultist demon summoning ritual, or a Dungeons and Dragons session. I may have chanted.
 - A pokemon manhole and balloons
 - We ate pizza and takoyaki (fried dough balls with octopus)

Sherwood Chourou - Week 38 in Japan

Konnichiwa! We are back to the slowish days once more. We've been dendoing and teaching plenty, but nothing outstanding has arisen ...
