15th day Oct.14th

We had great time in church. Our train pass will be expired tomorrow. We want to use it to the Max. We already have dinner appointment tonight with Pastor Ishikura, Family Christian Center. We arrived their town,Tsuchiura about 5:15PM . They took us to the wonderful Yakiniku(grilled meat) restaurant. We enjoyed food and conversation. Later on their daughters joined. Pastor Ishikura's wife, Noriko is the vice president of Japan Aglow. Since the president has been in the hospital, Noriko is temporary president. Pastor Ishikura owns a Real Estate company and works there during the week. どうせフルムーンの切符があるんだから、土浦のファミリークリスチャンセンターの石倉先生と夕飯を食べようということで、急の申し出にもかかわらず、石倉先生たちは応じてくれました。石倉牧師は不動産の会社を経営されており、範子夫人はアグローの副会長をされていて、とても忙しいお二人です。ありがとうございました。
	In spite of their busy schedule, they took time for us. We are hoping that both churches get together and do something great in the near future. そのうち両方の教会で一緒に何かすばらしいことが出来るといいですね。
We went back to Tokyo to take sleeping car train one more time to go back to big alligator town. We liked that Onsen,but did not have enough time on Saturday. We got on the train about 9PM. 東京(上野)に戻って、最後にもう一度寝台車に乗って大鰐温泉に行くことにしました。土曜日は一時間しか時間が無くて残念な思いをしたからです。　上野発9時　分の寝台に乗り込みました。
It might sound strange, but sleeping car is actually very comfortable to sleep. We are so sleepy now. Good night and see you tomorrow. 奇妙に聞こえるかもしれませんが、寝台列車の乗り心地はなかなかです。ジョンは家で寝るより、良く寝られると言ってます。　今晩はもう眠いので、おやすみなさい、また明日。
Today's travel distance:188miles=300km (本日の移動距離)
