26 days left

Not much new has happened in the past week or so. Nothing as exciting as last time I wrote...although I'm kind of thankful for that. :)
We have more volunteers here but my station doesn't have any so the time is passing kind of slow again. We're all starting to get a little antsy to be going home. We haven't seen as many people come to Christ as in previous weeks and we're all starting to lose focus and wonder what we're doing wrong. It's hard and long, but we understand there's a purpose to us being here so it's not that bad.
On my off day last Friday we went to another city called Yokohama and walked around. It was sort of nice to get out of Tokyo and such but it was still a city with lots of buildings and people. I can't wait for the end of July when we go back to Mt Fuji to climb it. It will be nice to see nature again. On Friday we also went to TGIFridays to eat dinner. It was way too expensive but good because it was American sized portions which is rare here. Also they have free refills (if you're willing to pay the 499 yen-about $5) which is also a rare thing. I had a massive chicken burger which was incredible. I'm really going to enjoy American sized portions when I get back. :) Also, I'll enjoy eating fruits and vegetables. Here an apple is like $2 and they only have apples, oranges, bananas and sometims kiwi. I can't wait to eat watermelon, cantelope, honeydew, pinapple, and grapes!! haha, I'm basically talking about food in this post..sorry. :D
There isn't much on my schedule this week; just the usual. I'm meeting with the lady who bought me sushi again on Wednesday. This time I'm visiting her at work; she works at a hospital in a nearby sub-city called Shinokubo. She said she'll make food for me again, which I'm hoping is regular food and not something with eye balls...but we'll see. That's about it though..hopefully something exciting or new happens this week so I have something new to talk about in the next post!
