6/11/09 - Team B
Once in Hachioji we met Eriya-san, the same staff member from Kichijoji. Maria, Ian, Eriya-san,an "OB," and myself went to a nearby station. Two very large schools were nearby, one with over 2000 students the other with 500. Because it was raining we were handing out our tracts right at the station exit. The rain did not stop us from being able to hand out all 200 of the tracts we brought with us. And there were still a lot of students going by when we finished. We could have handed out closer to 400 if we had had them. We went back though and waited, and waited. Then we realized that the only one missing was Brandon. Since he is new to japan he doesn't know the train system well. While he had left with a Japanese student she had to leave. In short he had no idea how to get back. Ryan, One of the other DTS members said to call Dave because that is what Brandon would do.
In the mean time most of our team members were getting extremely worried. Some ofus (myself included) knew that Brandon wouldn't go anywhere and would just wait to be picked up. Breakfast was thus late again but we eventually got to our skit and I worked on my testimony for I was going to share that night. Hi-BA rented out a small room in one of the rally. Once it started it was soon filled. Among the Japanese students from ASIJ there as well, at least for part of it.The rally went well with some people being interested in learning more about Christ. After good conversations in Saizeria during supper we headed back to CAJ for bed.It would be another early morning.
