One of the blessings of serving a senior mission is that you are allowed brief visits from family members.

Our kids came to Japan for a couple of weeks and between their own travels they stayed with us and we spent some wonderful time with them.

It was special to have them see where we love, the office where we serve, where we go to Church and meet those in our Ward and the mission.  We also had some great experiences with them touring around a little and spending Christmas and New Years together before they went home.
