E-TEAM Tokyo News Archive 2007 Team Tokyo 2007

June 11th, 2007

Hello, from Team Tokyo 2007. We've all survived through training week, and we'll be boarding a plane and heading for Tokyo, Japan tomorrow (Tuesday, June 12th). We'll be heading to the airport at 6:45 am. From there we will be flying to Chicago where we have a layover of an approximated 2 hours. We will then be boarding a different plane and flying to Tokyo! Training week was very hard and stressful, but we all formed a team and not just a group of people. We've all worked very hard, and we're looking forward to our stay in Japan and doing our best at reaching lost souls.

We've learned a little bit of the Japanese language (we even learned a song in Japanese), and we've been learning to eat with chopsticks. We've all formed a tight group and our leaders are amazing! Services were long and very informational. We went to Walmart today and bought the last things that we will need for our stay in Japan. By the way, we are... Beth, Molly, Mandy, Autumn, Paige, Kelsy, TJ, Aaron, Brandon, Sherry, and Michael. We're all safe, and very excited! The plane ride is an expected 17 hours to Tokyo.

From all of the team, a message: "We love you mom and dad and miss you!"

Soon, God given, there will be photos available for your viewing pleasure!!! Keep checking back for updates!!!

God Bless you all, from the 2007 E-team Tokyo!
