Christmas Eve 2019 - Currently there are 7 zones in the Japan Fukuoka Mission. Okinawa Zone will have their zone conference this Friday on 27th. The remaining 6 zones had theirs yesterday on Christmas Eve in Fukuoka. Normally zone conference is done for 2 zones at a time, where Kagoshima zone usually do it with Kumamoto zone. This time it was for 6 zones. Needless to say, we had the Fukuoka Stake Center jam packed with missionaries. For lunch, all the senior couples chipped in to serve the younger missionaries. Sister Lee and I were designated as "runners", i.e. continue to bring food out from the kitchen to the serving tables to replenish items that run low. We did other things in between "runs". The menu consisted of baked potatoes with chili, cheese, Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream, onions, other toppings; rolls, mekan, tossed salad. It was a festive day. Besides some comments from President Mack, we had a wonderful solo from Sister Kakazu singing O Holy Night, and a round of carols by everyone. We capped off the day by watching It's A Wonderful Life with Japanese subtitles. There are many lessons that all of us can learn from this great film. No matter how things we do that we may consider small, their ripple effects may be huge. As President Mack said, "We may not know the full impact of our lives until our next life."
When the group photo of this large gathering is made available, I'll post it.
