After 9 days of rain and typhoon Melor dancing through, we have finally seen the sun! Hurray! The skies are a beautiful clear blue and we are ready to hit the streets again looking for adventure in Japan! Here are a few things of note that brought a bit of sunshine into our lives in the rainy weather!
Our friends and fellow travelers, Elder and Sister Mead, celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary at an Indian restaurant in Roppongi.They are on a mental health mission here for 18 months and we travel with them visiting the missions in the Asia North Area. They come to us from BYU. Elder Mead had been retired for an hour when the call came!
Walking through a little park one day we were greeted with this group of children doing a fun outdoor dance routine. Just as cute as they can be!
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the printing of the Book of Mormon in Japanese. Our Public Affairs couple, the Robertsons, have had some special editions printed that are replicas of the original to present to the Emperor's family and other dignitaries.
Saying farewell to the Tokyo Mission couple, Elder and Sister Hartzell. We will miss them! This is a picture of our missionaries, both temple and Area Office. Elder and Sister Stevenson are seated in the center. We are so blessed to associate with such amazing people!

Thanks for sharing your mission with us; the pictures are priceless. Now that we are home, we look back on the events captured in picture, and really appreciate the moments we had in Bulgaria and our first mission to the Baltics. Enjoy it while it lasts. Yes, we did visit with Micha and Michelle and their darling little one. We have finally received a calling; we now work in the ID Falls Temple. Love,
John and Peggy
Woops! That was supposed to be Becky, not Michelle. Oh well, there went perfection; sorry Micah, Becky and Michelle; strange things happen after one turns sixty-five.
Sorry we missed you on i-chat for lee-chee-chee day. Glad to hear you didn't drowned with all that rain! And I especially loved hearing the story about the special Book of Mormon to the emperor. That's awesome! I read that President Monson, and Oaks, gave President Obama a collection of his family history. Cool stuff-family and scripture-and even cooler to share!
