Well, my first flight (from Des Moines to Minneapolis) was delayed an hour, but luckily I still arrived in enough time to catch my flight from Minneapolis to Tokyo Narita (which was nearly 12 hours long). I wasn't able to sleep much on the plane, even though I was tired. I can't believe how many times they offered us food... none of which I thought was very good. Next time I will probably decline some of it! Going through customs was uneventful, but then we had to get on a bus for a 2 hour bus ride to the naval base. It was very hard to stay awake, but we were told adjusting to the time would be much easier if we didn't sleep then.
Today we took a walking tour of the base, did some get to know you activities, and practiced songs that we will be singing. Now we have some free time before staff meetings tonight, so thought I'd update people on how the first day has been so far! Tomorrow will start a week of orientation before we begin the actual Camp Adventure program.
The weather was cool and somewhat rainy this morning, but the sun came out and warmed things up this afternoon. This month is part of the rainy season here in Japan, so will need to get used to clouds and rain. I haven't taken many pictures yet, but hope to soon and then will share them on here!
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers during my trip here! During the next week, I ask for prayers while forming relationships with my peers and for easy transitions. Thanks again! Have a great week. :)
