So what have we been doing?
Probably too much to express in a single post, we've been in Sapporo for three weeks, interacting with students at three of the local(ish) universities: HokuDai, Tokai and Oasa.
Mondays have been spent meeting the HokuDai and Tokai English speaking groups (ESS).
Tuesdays have been spent meeting with people and the Oasa English Open House.
Wednesdays have been spent at SACLA, where Japanese students can meet with international students at HokuDai. Followed by HokuDai ESS and the English Bible Study in the evenings.
Thursdays have been a more relaxing day, with just a prayer meeting at the OMF HQ in Sapporo.
Fridays have been spent with the Tokai ESS having lunch, and teaching English to a class of physicists.
Saturdays have always been a day with much mixing and usually no determined schedule.
Sundays are usually spent at the church which we are associated with, though a few occasions have appeared where we have been round to other churches.
So how long have we got left now? One Week.
We return to Tokyo in 9 days, headed for home shortly after.
What you may be asking is, what's happening before that?
And hence I present the fmZERO farewell party at the OMF HQ in Sapporo.
Please come and say farewell to all the team, as this may be the last opportunity to see them.
