Great weekend!

This past weekend, Pastor Tim and Intern Aaron helped lead a fun adventure up to the northern part of Okinawa. We went to the Genga River, which is just north of Nago. The water was cool and fresh, and the little "falls" were fun to jump from. We also got to play a fun "game" called スイカ割り (suika wari): split the watermelon. It's almost like an Okinawan equivalent of the Mexican pinata. But instead of being in the air, the watermelon is on the ground. Here I got a shot of Yoshua in the split second before he connected with the watermelon. I also have a video of Jesse's adventure. Finally, Yoshua taught some of us white boys how to do old-school face-painting. Basically the guys rubbed two rocks together until it formed a "paste" and then smeared it on each other's faces. Below are a few shots of Pastor Tim. They got a lot of great colors out of those rocks!


Praise God for beautiful weather (it's been raining since we got back Saturday afternoon, and is supposed to keep raining through Wednesday) and a great chance to bond as guys while enjoying His creation!
