• our base Army vs. Navy flag football game (Navy won)
• a holiday bazaar at Ranger Gym where I got some fun Japanese items
• a Christmas party hosted by Ernestine Bowen (Read 180 teacher at Lanham ES)

We had a busy, happy week as we start getting ready to come home for Christmas.

December 2015-Week 1

This week began with the sister missionaries joining us for dinner and a game of bowling.  Sister Cheney and Sister Neff are cute and we love them.

This week's  highlights include:

Greg assisting the 5th and 6th grade teachers as they hosted a Japanese school's students in a multi-cultural day.  Greg taught the kids crab soccer which is a oldie but goodie game in PE.

Atsugi NAF also celebrated its 65th anniversary.

Before and now

However, the highlight of the week on base was the return on the sailors who had been on the USS Ronald Reagan for the last 6 months.  (They came home for 2 weeks in November but returned back to boat duty.)  These sailors will be here for the next 5-6 months before going back out to sea duty again.
