J-GIRLS & Amagi

My first week of the new year was spent at Amagi, where all of us Japan M's gathered together for the annual retreat. I shared a tatami room (which has straw matting as the floor covering) with seven other girls, composed of Journeymen (or Journey girls) and MK's. Even though I got very little sleep, I enjoyed every bit of my time with the other M's. It's not often that we all get to see each other! Here below is a pic of us right after playing a game of Cranium.
Here are the only four Journeymen in the country: Me, Rachel, Katie, and Elizabeth (our number will increase soon, though!). I had a blast hanging out with these girls!
J-girls posing in front of a waterfall. At first I was wondering why the lady kept tilting all our cameras to take a picture of us. Now I see why. I like it, though...it adds character =).



It snowed! Yay!! --->



<--- "What up! Yeah, we cool"



This is Christina "Piscina." Christina is a super cool chick who was an MK in Honduras. She was part of the awesome mission team from Milan, TN who came to Amagi to help out with all the kids. We had fun speaking in Spanish with each other!

On the last night, we had a roaring bonfire and s'mores to go along with it. Here you can see someone roasting marshmallows.
