Farewell Ishikawa family

Our dear friends Shingo, Amelia and Shiori have recently left the World Centre. They are going for a short trip to Japan and then to Australia. We said goodbye to them in the open house farewell for the family last Thursday and took some cute and sweet pictures of Enna-Marie and Shiori. These two hopefully will meet again someday when they are bigger, perhaps when they reach 18 they will come and serve here together (including Rocco of course). We will miss the three of you a lot and wish you a happy family and community life in Brisbane.

enjoying their last moment together...

...giving a hug...

...and here's a good-bye kiss! so cute and sweet!
