Snow in January and the Yokote Branch

I couldn't miss taking pictures of what we see as we drive around the mission this winter. These pictures were taken on our way to church in Yokote which is about 2 hours north of Sendai. Sendai does not have snow that stays long but when we leave Sendai, we are crossing mountain passes and the snow is quite deep. It is beautiful to look at but not fun to drive on.


This is a street in the city of Yokote.
We took pictures after church with the Yokote Branch. It is quite small but a great little Branch. They have one very strong family with three girls. He is the Counselor in the Branch Presidency (center back row) and the girls have been taught the gospel very well. Another young mother was there with her two children. They don't have the concept of sitting reverently in Sacrament Meeting (they were running and jumping all over the room) but they were there and that is important. The Branch President was taking a phone call when we asked him to step into the picture. His wife is in the center.
Gary was able to be in this picture!!

Do you love our matching slippers? This is the only branch we have visited that required us to remove our shoes and put on indoor slippers.
