dinner

We've been having a lot of people over lately, often to say goodbye. It's awesome to be able to have people in our little apartment and eat together and just enjoy them! Natsuko and Chihiro are Christian women who went on homestay in my hometown when they were in high school! Keiko and Minori are our neighbors here in Mitaka!

Another recent blessing has been seeing my beautiful little sorority sister in Tokyo! Christina and Gen came on a summer mission trip last year and are visiting at the same time as this year's mission team.

The last picture is my favoite place in Japan. I just like it.

really great!

Last badminton practice with Nao and Keiko and their circle, last dance practice with Yukina and Mika and their circle, last day at Toyo University with some hilarious girls, last time at Yumi's beautiful home for an amazing BBQ!
