Old Faces and New Faces

After 4 months of being in Sendai, I FINALLY got to visit PCC ~ my former church.  Finally saw Taka and Frances and got to meet their baby!  They had just announced their pregnancy when I left Japan 3 years ago.  Now, he's a big boy walking and talking.  After church service on Sunday, Aaron and I rushed over to PCC as fast as we could.  They were having an English Cafe.  There we met lots of people from other countries, many MeySen teachers, some ALTs, and of course, Japanese people.

We played "I have never..." And I knocked Aaron out.
English Cafe: sipping drinks, eating snacks, and meeting new people!

Taka and Renma saying hi!
 I met a girl who is a first year ALT in Sendai.  We chatted about JET, our schools, and the people we knew in common.  Thanks to my successor's successor who got drunk, arrested, and fired, my school is now notorious amongst the ALT community.

Unfortunately, we couldn't stay long and left after an hour.  I enjoyed it so much, it was like coming home.  It was so great to finally see Taka and Frances again.  Aaron and I are hoping to come back again the next time they have an English Cafe (every 2nd & 4th Sunday of the month).
