On July 25, Pastor Paul Akimoto became fractured of the clavicle in the Hakuba Camp. When he took the some X-rays at the hospital in Hakuba on July 27, the doctor said that he had to stay and operate in a hospital. But after he took the X-rays at a Tokyo Metropolitan Police Hospital once again, the doctor changed the diagnosis that he might go to the Kyushu meetings which will be held the day after tomorrow, and also to Uganda.
