ENGLISH CLASSES

Saura is the adorable little girl of one of my Japanese students.  

This couple (Chie and Takehito Abe) were our neighbors, until they recently moved.  Chie attended my English classes and we became great friends.  I cried and cried when they left.  I miss her, but we are still keeping in contact through email.

Chie would often bring me treats. This is the gift she gave me when she left. Everything was made by hand-except the chocolate bars.

SENIOR MOMENTS!

One of our YSA's took us on a tour of the USS George Washington.  It was a fascinating, fun-filled day.  After the tour, we had lunch at Chili's on base then returned to our apartment for dessert.  The couples who joined us for the day were:  Elder and Sister Yamashita (Office Couple) Elder and Sister  Graham (Mental Health Advisor-covers 18 missions in Asia) and Elder and Sister Wood (Public Relations)

We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with all of the other Senior Missionary Couples serving in Japan.  Once a month we get together in Tokyo for a FHE Potluck dinner!

Thanks to Jordan, for taking time from his busy schedule to take us on a tour!

FAMILY

We are so grateful for our children and their families.  What a great support they have been to us while on our mission.
Senior missionaries are allowed to have short visits from children-depending on responsibilities and living conditions.
Having children visit can really boost your spirits and give you a boost of renewed energy.  
Recently our two sons, their wives and two of our granddaughters, were able to visit us.  What a fun time we had while they were here!
