The Girls

This is me at the Gakshuin campus with Cherie, Christina and Ayumi. Cherie is one of my roommates. She is going to be a sophomore at NC State next year and just has the biggest heart! Everyone is described as "precious," which is completely her! Christina just finished her freshman year at USC, so I didn't know her before I graduated, but she is an amazingly sweet person! She LOVES talking to Japanese students. Ayumi is on staff with Japan CCC in Tokyo, but she actually lived a couple of years in Orlando :) It's been wonderful to have her and her staff team on campus with us for encouragement and teaching!




During the guys' and girls' time, the boys made us acrostics and left them with a bouquet of flowers for each of us. They were very proud of themselves for coming up with the "M" and "A" for mine :)




Here's everyone at the women's time at a cute little coffee shop in Koenji. I absolutely love our time together! We are a very similar group of women in terms of our leadership and intelligence, but in other ways, such as personality, we are very different from one another. It gives us a lot to talk about :)

I ADORE the women I get to serve alongside!
