Assignment Change

Mission hasn't started yet and already there is a change.  We received an email late Tuesday night, Dec. 4, which is Wednesday in Japan, notifying us Mission President Mack has changed our assignment from working in the mission office to labor in the City of Kagoshima.  Kagoshima is located at the southern most tip of the main islands of Japan.  Using Wikipedia, Kagoshima is a city of over 600,000 and being further south, it tends to be warmer than Fukuoka.  June, July, and August tend to be fairly rainy months there.  We literally will be put into the frying pan as we'll be couple miles west of an active volcano, Mt. Sakurajima.  I'll be praying for wind to blow the smoke and any ash to the East.
