Hokuzanso-The Next Day

The second day at Hokuzanso started early when Jane and two of the Melanies woke up early and went to see the ocean at sunrise...it was a lovely sight and they said they felt they had been led by God to be there at that time and see His beautiful creation.

The rest of the gang woke up a bit later and began work on the main camping building. The men worked on cleaning off the roof while the women worked at cleaning the sleeping mats. The mats required getting them out of the closet, putting them up and hitting the dust out, carrying them out to the basketball court to be wiped down and then finally putting them back again.

Mrs. Kawamitsu was overjoyed and said that our WV team was the hardest working team she has had up at the camp. Mr. Kawamitsu was in shock and thankful for the new weed-eater that Roger bought for him. He kept saying, "kansha shiteimasu, kansha shiteimasu", (I am so thankful) over and over again. As the group were getting on the bus, Mrs. Kawamitsu pointed at Si and said, "You look like an international movie star." Si will certainly want to come back.

The team left the camp and headed to the pineapple park and were able to taste a bit of pineapple and drink some pineapple juice. They arrived back at school in time to enjoy dinner and Bible study with the missionary teachers at OCSI.

Tomorrow is a trip to the Peace Park and then shopping at international street...then to the airport by 9:20 for their trip back to the US.
