We Have Arrived in Japan!!!!!

We were so sad that the convention finished! But, we didnt have time to be emoitonal for long because our tour schedule is VERY hectic!

The period of time immediately after the convention was great! The applause went for literally about 15 minutes, the tears were freely flowing and nobody wanted to leave. But, leave we had to as the convention was being handed back about one hour after the concluding prayer. The stage had been disassembled within ten minutes...... and everyone spilled out onto the concourse.

There was one brother i met whom I will never forget. His name is Kim SuMin. I had met him in the lobby of our hotel. After exchanging greetings, he told me that he was going to prison over the neutrality issue in six months as every young male Jehovahs Witness in Korea does. This literally made me cry. Which made him cry. Which made Kylie cry. Which is making me cry just thinking about it. Anyway, he found me after the convention and again .... MORE TEARS...... you get my drift.

CAPS LOCK IS NOT WORKING - SORRY, I AM NOT YELLING AT YOU......

ANYWAY, WE ARE IN KYOTO NOW. WE JUST LEFT OSAKA TODAY AND ON THE WAY, WE WENT PAST KOBE. OUR TOUR IS HECTIC! DONT KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DO IT! MISSING YOU ALL!

  3. It must have been so good!! Ours was great - the drama was so moving (was it the same? Cos someone said in Sydney they had a slightly different scenario). Have heaps of fun and don't forget to say "cheezu!"
