Interviews with the Missionaries

You may get tired of our daily e-mails, and at some point I'm sure we won't be sending them, but for now here is another one. We wanted to meet with all of our missionaries as soon as we could so we asked for the President Tateoka's help in determining a schedule. You will see it below. Holy Cow! In our first week in Japan, we will be in our own beds maybe 3 nights!

Dear President Rasmussen,

Transfers are scheduled for Thurday, July 7th.

In order to facilitate the transfer, transfers should be called out on Wednesday, Morning, July 6th . The new missionaries will arrive late on Tuesday evening, July 5th

I would suggest that you leave for Aomori (a 5 hour drive) on Thursday night June 30th.

Hold, a “Meet the President Conference” in Aomori on Friday, July 1, hold interviews, travel to Morioka (2 and 1/2 hour drive)

Hold a “Meet the President Conference” in Morioka on Saturday, July 2, hold interviews, travel home, Attend Church in Nagamachi ( your home ward) travel to Niigata (a 3 hour drive)

Hold a “Meet the President Conference” in Niigata on Monday, July 4, hold interviews, travel home (3 hours)

Hold a “Meet the President Conference” in Sendai (Kamisugi), July 5 hold interviews and give the transfer schedule to the financial secretary so missionaries will have money to transfer.

If you would like, I could reserve hotels for you.

The Mission Home Missionaries have prepared a dramatic presentation on the mountain(hill) behind our home to welcome you and to help you feel the spirit and pray to seek our Heavenly Father help. They would like to do that for you on Wednesday Evening at 8:00 p.m. if that meets with your schedule.

Thanks for all you do. We are praying for you and Sister Rasmussen.

Best personal regards,
President Tateoka
