Place setting of the Mission Home china. We were lucky to have enough pieces for this luncheon. Many pieces were broken in the earthquake.
Sis Jahana came early in the morning to get the flowers all ready.

Cute picture taken by Sis Aoyagi.
I introduced Sis Furukawa, our cook, and Sis Thomas and Jahana who served the food.
They loved our Girl's Day traditional display. These dolls are 50 years old and worth about $6,000.
Henry (an interpretor) explaining some of the figures to Elder Oaks. Henry even sang a little song his mom taught him about this celebration.(NOTE: Henry served his mission in Sapporo with our son Brian. Henry recognized Brian's picture on our piano and told us)
Vegetables in gelatin. (typical Japanese dish)
Salmon , shrimp & tuna
Creamy chicken soup
Vegetable tray
Roast Beef thinnly sliced and served cold.
Inarizushi and makizushi (rice)
Fruit platter
Japanese style cheesecake.
Another light dessert~ Jello with strawberries and custard.
Sushi plate
These little dolls are famous in the Fukushima area. They are made of paper meche and weighted on the bottom so they roll but always stand upright. They were placed on the table to show that the people of the Tohoku area of Japan may get knocked down but they are resilient and will always land on their feet. Very appropriate!!
As a gift from the Sendai Mission, we made these beautiful origami dolls and envelope to carry them in. The Japanese paper is exquisit as you can see in these pictures.
The gift was very traditional, lightweight, flat, and easy to carry in a suitcase home. I think they loved them.

Wow. That meal looks very Japanese! Lots of hard work by EVERYONE obviously went in to every little part of having a visit by an apostle. And I am so glad you posted pics of the origami dolls that you guys made to send home as little gifts. What a perfect gift! I love them.
