Janet had trouble with the blog, so I'm posting the conclusion to July 31 for her. By the way, I (the webmaster) apologize for the slowness of this blog; I'm addressing the issue, though that's going slowly, too. :) Anyway, from Janet:
To finish up the day yesterday, Niko took us to lunch, then a craft center. It was great! Today people left around 9am and I read out of Hebrews and listened to hymns. I learned a few whistle tunes and experienced my first earthquake! It was small, but the building shook! I have to give up internet now. I can't wait to be set up in my apartment!

From a news article about the earthquake:
The magnitude 4.7 quake, which occurred at 2:53 p.m., was centered in eastern Yamanashi Prefecture, about 110 kilometers west of Tokyo, at 20 kilometers underground.
The quake was most strongly felt in Fuefuki and several other towns in Yamanashi, but hardly felt in downtown Tokyo. Japan sits at the juncture of four tectonic plates...and is one of the world's most quake-prone regions.
