Our day of traveling from LA to Tokyo went really well, so thank you all who prayed for us. Our flight was on time, and actually arrived a bit early. We all made it through customs with surprising ease, and all of our bags arrived very quickly. We took 3 trains to get to our station, one of which (the one we were on the longest) had seats for everyone, it was delightful!!
So, what would a day of traveling be without a bit of mishap and excitement...haha, and how would Emily ever encounter such a day... well, really only one thing 'exciting' happened to me, and it had to do with an unfortunate water situation on the airplane. After getting through security, I filled my empty (BIG) water bottle for the plane ride, and prepared to stay fully hydrated for the 11ish hour flight. Well, between the sip I took before loading, and getting settled on the plane, I discovered that the lid had not been put on, and ALL the water had spilled all over the floor below my seat, drenching my pillow, sweatshirt, extra clothing and a few other things. Haha!! Thankfully it truly was not a big issue, and everything worked out just fine!
I am THRILLED to be back in Japan, I seriously just LOVE it here!!! Ahh!! My team is so awesome, and I have had the awesome privilage of being selected to be one of 4 campus leaders (?!?!).
Here are some pictures and a video (hopefully it works) for you all!! There will be an album posted on Facebook soon that I will post a link to. Please fill free to leave comments!
