GRIT prep

The Smith family is moving to downtown Kumamoto for the summer. Susan and the kids will be holding down the fort at the main apartment, handling cooking duties and leading some of the girls activities.

We have an amazing summer of outreach planned, everything from airsoft to participating in a worship service at a church in the area. Somewhere in the middle we have English conversation nights at a cafe, Mom and Kids get togethers, day trips with people from the YMCA, volunteer cleanup at a camp, and an English worship service each Sunday night. We have a pretty decent schedule before we even get into the discipleship training and exercise that makes up the core of the GRIT program.

Everyone arrives the 15, 16, and 17th, we have a light day on the 18th and then on the 19th the real GRIT begins with Japanese class and our first lessons. The day will end with about 5 hours of people time as we get together with some people interested in English and/or foriegners at a friends house in Yatushiro (just south of Kumamoto city). I am sure everyone will be exhausted at the end of the first day!

Stay tuned for more updates and photos starting this weekend!
