6 Missionaries Going Home

 Front:  Sister Maki and Yoshida, Pres & Sis Rasmussen

Back: Elders Page, Cannon, Ruefenacht & Holbrook.

 The group including the AP's, Elder Takei and Dowdy.

 Elder Page needed to go home 6 months early because of a painful back problem that could not be treated in Japan.  (We hope it can be treated in the US but the church doctors didn't sound hopeful)

 Elder Ruefenacht

 Elder Cannon

Elder Holbrook was our first Assistant!!

 Sister Yoshida

 Sister Maki

 After the Testimony meeting, it was Sukiyaki Dinner time.  A fun meal.

 The next morning at breakfast before leaving for the Eki. 

No one sleeps well and they are a bundle of nerves.

 Sis Maki's mother and brother came to pick her  up. 

We were about to depart for the Eki.

 At the Eki.  We will miss this group of faithful missionaries.
