Okada Choro

Preparing to eat Sukiyaki

 Okada Choro is quite a break dancer.  He taught Kim Choro 

when they lived in the same apartment.

At the airport the next morning with Okada and Ohori Choro.

It is hard to say good-by!!

Kim Choro was flying into Los Angeles from Tokyo~ thus the LA finger signs.

The three Japanese missionaries left on the Shinkansen.  We will miss them all!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only one Shimai arrives in the mission this transfer, Isogai Shimai.  We took her new trainer/companion~ Kirby Shimai~ with us to pick her up since she was the only one to arrive.  The APs and the Senior Office Staff are always so good to go and greet new missionaries.  We surely appreciate them.

Isogi Shimai is from Hyogo, Japan

 and her trainer, Kirby Shimai is from West Virginia.

The next morning after arriving, we fed them breakfast and 

then spent 4 hours giving them training. 

She will be a good missionary. 

We fed them lunch and sent them on their way to 

their new area which was the Kamisugi Ward.
