It is amazing the people you meet while you are out and about. Our family recently went to visit some castle ruins in Hirosaki, Japan. While walking around the garden grounds we ran into some missionaries from our church. One of them we had actually known in Misawa when we first got here. He recognized us and ran to catch up with us. We had fun that day in the park of the castle ruins... by the way the ruins are nothing more than the tower you see behind us in the picture.
