Tamura-sanの車で朝9時に教会を出発。
Left the church at 9am with Tamura-san.
予定通り13時に、福島県須賀川にある、日本イエスキリスト教団の施設である「シオンの丘《に到着。
今回の地震を受けて、今ここが救援ポイントとして用いられている。
ちなみに原発からは約60km離れている。
丁度、東北教区の牧師会が行われており、挨拶をした。
夕方まで、Tamuraさんと、シオンの丘の旧礼拝堂の地下の
石壁が壊れたので、その撤去作業をした。
夕方、一人で部屋にいると、
震度5強の大きな地震があった。
びっくりした。
As planned, we arrived at "Zion's Hill" at one o'clock.
This is a place run by my church's organisation,
located in Sukagawa in Fukushima prefecture, around 60km from the
now infamous nuclear power plant.
This place is now used by many churches in the Tohoku region
to store goods, to house volunteers, etc.
The pastor's meeting was being held when we arrived,
where we introduced ourselves.
Until evening, I cleaned up the old chapel building with Tamura-san,
as the walls were falling off following the earthquake.
In the late evening, there was a large earthquake, magnitude of about 6.
It got me by surprise (well, as any earthquakes do...).
夕方、九州から横田法路先生、宇山誉先生、竹崎光則先生の3吊が到着。
Unexpectedly (to me at least)
three pastors arrived from Kyushu (west of Japan).
These were Pastor Yokota, Uyama and Takezaki.
They came to pay visit to churches in Fukushima and
to investigate what damage the earthquake and the tsunami caused.
シオンの丘は牧師先生だらけだった。
３月からシオンの丘で奉仕されている、
船田肖二先生、森本小夜先生、井上先生、高橋未来先生、
寺田先生、金田洋介神学生と共に、晩飯を食べる。
こちらでこんなに豪華な食事にありつけるとは思っていなかった。
感謝。
The Hill was packed with pastors.
In fact, we were the only non-pastors on the ground.
But it was good to meet all of them,
it was all very inspiring to talk to them.
I thought I'll be eating ready-made food everyday,
but thankfully, they provided us with great meals too.
夜、チャペルで賛美をする。
In the evening,
we sung worship songs in the chapel.
今晩はTamuraさんと、
近くの温泉に行った。
After supper, we went to a nearby onsen (hotsprings).
