Full Day

Back to a three +-hour power cut this afternoon. Got two guestrooms cleaned and ready for occupancy and did a little work in the office before it though. Power came back on about 20 minutes before my Japanese tutor arrived so I was able to get the temperature up a little from the 11 degrees (C) it had fallen to during the outage. She brought a couple exercises in reading Japanese and answering questions/solving puzzles which were just difficult enough to make me want to figure them out. We also talked about the school where she now works, and a little about the relief efforts and OMF's involvement.

"For such a time as this..." keeps coming to mind.

Tomorrow's schedule from Tokyo Electric shows us due for our power cut starting at about 9:30 am so I can go to the office/Guest Home in the afternoon.

Today a team of OMFers traveled from Hokkaido to Aomori with the makings of a soup kitchen which they hope to get set up in an area where food has been difficult to get in. They will be working with a local Japanese pastor who can introduce them properly in the area where they want to work.
