Everyone is off to bed now. They're incredibly tired, but super determined. They got their first look at the devastation today an it rocked their world. It's one thing to see pictures and another thing entirely to stand in the school yard where 109 children lost their lives. The teens are beginning to really understand the gravity of what they are undertaking. The work today was hard, but they pursued it with everything their jet lagged bodies had. On the other side Onsen's (traditional Japanese baths that are like a spa) are now the entire team's favorite. That includes the guys! Pray for focus and unity tomorrow as we have our first meetings with the community leaders.

Great updates--What a life-changing experience these kids are having. Thank you, leaders, for making this possible.
