We get to enjoy two Mission President Seminars each year. In November we travel to Korea and in May we travel to Tokyo with the other MP in the Asia North Area. Gary and I caught the bullet Train 5 minutes after our last going-home missionary left the mission and traveled to Tokyo. We dropped our luggage off at the hotel and met some of the other Presidents and wives and left for the Temple.
Outside the Tokyo Temple
We took the subway and met Brother Sakioka for dinner that night. Gary baptized him 40+ years ago in Tokyo and he has remained true and faithful. He and his wife have 8 children and he has been a Bishop in his ward. He is a good man and we love to see him when we get a chance.
At dinner one evening, we were luck enough to ssit at the table with the
Alder Family (he is Director of Temporal Affairs for the Area) and the other
teenage children of Elder and Sis Ringwood and Pres & Sis. Wada.
Scott and Bonnie Baird of the Nagoya Mission. They will finish their mission in June.
Rich and Janna Zinke of the Kobe Mission.
(A photographer took lots of pictures of the days at the seminar which is why I didn't take many.)
The Area Office staff sang the prelude music for us in the morning before we started our meetings.
