As I fly over the Pacific looking forward to the weeks to come I realize just how appropriate the scriptures Claudia read on Thursday evening. “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”IICorinthians 4:7 (but read through v 11). I realize how much I need to rely on the strength of God to be able to help others in these next three weeks. I am looking forward to working with a strong team this next week.
God was faithful to allow some of the food I took in my carry-on to pass. It was a paste in greater than 3oz measure and should have been in my checked luggage. They had mercy on me when I told them why I needed it and told them they could take it if they needed to do so.
Got here safely at 4:35pm. Found the right train. It doesn’t really feel like I was gone except that everyone has cell phones on the trains now. Also Tokyo is exceptionally dark as people are still conserving electricity so they don’t have as many blackouts.
