The Nagamachi Ward asked me if I would demonstrate to the ladies
how to make Cinnamon Rolls. The day was planned and we had
13-15 ladies come to watch the demonstration. I knew it would be
hard to demonstrate because I have an electric mixer and tools
that the Japanese women don't have. Also, I have an
American - sized oven which is unheard of in Japan kitchens.
Most women have a toaster oven sized oven which is why mothers
in Japan don't bake. They cook on the stovetop.
This cute little girl came with her mom and wore her own apron.
They wanted to get closer to see what the dough looked like.
Rolling out the dough.
Showing them how to roll up the dough after sprinkling
it with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
I asked anyone who wanted to come and cut a cinnamon roll off with thread.
Before the group arrived, I made a batch of cinnamon rolls and
baked them while we demonstrated. When we finished
the demonstration, they were ready to add
the glaze or frosting to them and eat them.

The Shimai serving in Nagamachi came and helped me
serve the group a hot-out-of-the- oven roll to all the ladies.
It was nice to be of service to the Ward. We are only able to
attend church in Nagamachi 2-3 times per year. The ladies are
so nice and supportive of me and the English speaking sisters
serving in the office. We love them.
