mini sendai reunion!

Yuiko chan, my missionary companion from back in the day! came through Hawaii on her way back home to Japan.  Her husband just finished his MBA at BYU and so, after 2 years of living in Utah, they are headed home.  And lucky for me, they stopped through Hawaii on their way!
She was my final companion in the mission field (Sendai Mission) where we served together for a very short 1 month in Koriyama, Fukushima.
We had SO much fun together, and was truly one of my favorite companions!  :)
 

 I hadn't seen her since the mission field, so that would make it...11 1/2 years?
Yikes, how fast time flies!
And now she has a great husband and 3 super cute kiddos!
I couldn't be happier for her! 

 So, with such a rare occasion, I called up (or, Facebook messaged, to be more exact) a couple other Sendai returned missionaries to have a little get-together over dinner with all of our families.
With 4 families and 15 kids, we bombarded our friend, Josh's large house and had a great dinner reminiscing about the good ol' days back in the mission field. 
Truly a GREAT evening!
 Here's us Sendai RM's.
(Josh, Yuiko, Me, and Brian.)

And here are 2 of Yuiko's kids.
Seriously, how cute are they?
Sure hope they decide to swing through Hawaii again sometime soon!!
