Pictures are worth a thousand words

Since pictures are worth a thousand words, and I have so many words to say I think this post will just be pictures with captions!
I have been loving my time here and so I hope you enjoy seeing a glimpse of what my team and I have been up too this past week! A part of BEST club is the T (travel)... many of these pictures are from our BEST club to Kyoto.


Bible Night last Wednesday reading John 15

Cooking at our apartment- Yaki soba! 

Itadakimasu- What we say before we eat... yummy!
Getting ready to head to Kyoto 

I love Japan, this is a rest area on the highway! America needs to learn from this

Waiting for the Tokyo BEST fashion show to begin in Kyoto

The fashionable men of Tokyo BEST,
not only did the perform for the fashion show
but they wore their fashionable clothes all day around Kyoto

and the winner of the fashion show is....
Shunpei!

Beautiful area in Kyoto


Hanging out in a bamboo forest in Kyoto

Peaceful river on the other side of the Bamboo forest

The Golden Temple (Kinkakuji) one of the most famous sights in Kyoto

The foresty garden areas near the temples were beautiful!

the guys were pretty sad

Lovely pond and garden near the Silver temple
