A big welcome to Kagoshima

This is Sister Furue (facing us) and Sister Ikeda (back to us), who prepared a welcome feast for us at our apartment.  There were a lot of food and the young missionaries helped bring our luggage to the 4th floor where our apartment is located.  Sister Furue is the wife of the current branch missionary leader and Sister Ikeda is the wife the current branch president.  It was a wonderful surprise welcome.
This photo you can see Sister Ikeda's face, who is directly behind me.  The young missionaries are in the back.  The other 2 couples are the Baileys and the Rickards.  The Baileys are standing and was released from their mission toward the end of January.  The Rickards are the financial and office secretary at the Mission office.  They will be going home some time in August.
