Jan 23, 2020 - Elder Budge Mission Tour Conference. 4 zones attended this conference, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima zones. It was a very wonderful conference. Elder Budge is very personable, down to earth. As you can see in photo above, lunch was fabulous. Since the conference was in Fukuoka, over 4 hours away from Kagoshima, we normally take the shinkansen and the young missionaries take a 4.5 hours bus ride. However this time the car rental company had a spring special, so the price of renting a van for two days was really going to save a substantial amount of money if we drive some of the young missionaries. The price was so low that we decided to drive. After getting to Fukuoka the night before the conference, Sister Lee said no more, future trips to Fukuoka will be by shinkansen. This is mainly because we left a little after 2 p.m. and didn't get there until almost 8 p.m. It took couple hours longer because we had to drop off the Sisters at the Kurume Sisters' apt. and traffic was nasty during rush hour. Then we had to drop off the Elders at their designated apartment. It was all good. On the return trip, it only took 4 hours. When we got to the mission home, Elder & Sis. Budge, Pres. & Sis. Mack and another senion couple, the Welkers had just finished dinner. We had eaten on the road but found some room for dessert. I then listened in on the Welkers' presentation of how to strengthen the YSA (Young Single Adults) to Elder Budge. Interesting discussion.
