KORIYAMA DISTRICT CONFERENCE

Three faithful sisters in the Koriyama District

after the Saturday Night session of Conference.

These are the Yaginuma brothers.  Their father is the District Clerk.  Their mom is a very sweet lady who is deaf.  Her husband or friends in the Branch do JSL for her every meeting she attends.  Gary has become good friends to these boys encouraging them to be good Priesthood holders.

Sister Ogawa was baptized about the time we came to Japan.  She recently went to the Temple for the first time and had a wonderful experience.  She has many family names ready to take to the temple.  Gary asked her to bear her testimony of the Temple in the Saturday night meeting of conference.  She is a sweetheat.  Every time I see her, she hands me an origami rose in a different color of paper.  I'm getting to have quite a colorful rose garden.

This is the two year old son of Pres and Sis. Matsumura, District President. 

Isn't he adorable.

We ate lunch with Pres and Sis Matsumura at the church.  He is a school teacher who works many long hours.  She is the daughter of Elder & Sister Aoyagi of the Area Presidency.  She was a young girl when her Father was the Mission President in Sendai.   We love this family.
