Hope you all had a fantastic holiday. We're so thankful to skype which has allowed us to see lots of family and even open gifts with each other online. It has been a great first Christmas in Japan!
1 year down in language school! 0.5 year left to go.
We have completed 4 quarters. It's amazing how much we have learned. It is truly a gift to have this time of focused study. Now just 2 more quarters to go. We graduate Yamasa Language School in June!
Seth and my class together at the end of the quarter.
MSCC held a special Christmas Event the Sunday before Christmas. We worked hard to invite everyone possible, and were so thrilled that 83 people came! The most we've ever had. We had special Christmas music, a sermon about the meaning of Christmas, and fantastic snacks and drinks afterward. Lots of people stayed and talked afterward, and we all met a ton of new people. It was a success!

Wonderful Snacks - so many people brought food to share!
We gathered with our co-workers and good friends for a Merry Mexican Christmas. At least, that's what I called it. We did a Mexican food theme, because those items are less expensive than the traditional American dishes are to make here. It was a full day of relaxing with friends. We are so grateful for a great group of people to work with - they have become like family to us this year, and have made our first Christmas in Japan one to remember.
Tacos, Bean Dip, Homemade Tortilla chips, sugar cookies...amazing!
Some of my best friends! The ladies did a secret santa gift exchange. It was a lot of fun!
Hanging out for Christmas!
