Gary has become acquainted with Marty Kuehnert who is "Mr. Baseball" for the professional baseball team in Sendai. He was responsible for building the baseball park and has built the team into a force to be reckoned with in Japan. He arranged for the best seating in the stadium for Gary and Elder Thomas and Elder Jahana to enjoy a baseball game. He even took them on a tour of the beautiful stadium before the game. Such a fun evening for these three hardworking missionaries. Elders Thomas and Jahana and their wives are senior couples working in the mission office.

A great action shot taken from their seats directly behind home plate. Notice how low the catcher gets to the ground!
Bro Jahana was in heaven!! He loves baseball but has never been to a professional baseball game.
Elder Thomas loved the whole experience, too.
