Kyushu Zone conference with Elder Choi

Sep. 12, 2019

Elder Yoon Hwan Choi, Member of the Quorum of the Seventy, and currently President of Asia North Area, in which Japan Fukuoka Mission belongs, came and instructed us.  His wife also came and instructed us.  The conference was for Fukuoka Zone, Kumamoto Zone, Nagasaki Zone and Kagoshima Zone.  He held similar zone conferences at Okinawa and Hiroshima on the 10th and 11th respectively for the other zones.  For us, the conference was to start at 8:30 p.m. with a group photo op at 8 a.m.  Sister Lee and I took the very first shinkansen in the morning at 6:08 and arrived at 7:45 a.m.  We rushed out to the bus stop and bus route 58 came just as got to the stop.  We arrived at our desired stop and walked to the church building, getting there at 8:13 a.m.  Then we found out the group photo op was going to be at 8:30.  We had not missed it after all.  When that photo becomes available, I'll post it.

We had a good time, learned alot.  Got to say hello to some of the young missionaries that had transferred away from our zone in prior transfers.

I really love the punctuality of the shinkansen.  Here is a photo at the shinkansen track that we were getting in line to go back to Kagoshima.  Sister Lee is the one walking ahead of me.
