The year a Young Adult turns 21, they are invited by their Prefecture (in this case Sendai) to a "Coming of Age Ceremony". The young adults dress in their finest clothing--girls in beautiful Kimono and guys in a suit--and gather in a big auditorium for the ceremony. Because we register all of our missionaries in Sendai with the Mission Home address, many of our missionaries received invitations in the mail to attend the ceremony. After thinking about it, President Rasmussen decided it would be a wonderful thing for our missionaries to experience and told those serving locally in Sendai to go and talk to as many people as they could. These are pictures given to us of that occasion.
