Changing to the Japan Fukuoka Mission

In February of 2010, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints published this statement to let its members know of changes happening in the Mission Field. Paul's mission, the Japan Hiroshima Mission, was one of the missions affected by this change. This is another article about the change to his mission. As of the first of July 2010, he is a part of the Japan Fukuoka Mission.

*As a side note, I stumbled upon Paul's new Mission President's blog where they have pictures of their missionaries. I don't know if there are any pictures of Paul, but I thought it was neat to see his mission from a different perspective!

JAPAN!! At last!

Paul arrived in Japan on Monday, March 16. Here are two pictures and an email from Paul's Mission President's wife sent yesterday, March 18 {I'm leaving the email exactly as it was written - the spelling typos make it sweeter} :

Dear Parents of Elder Peterson,
Elder Peterson has arrived Japan safely, and now is having a second day in Japan. He will serve in Izumo, a town on the ocian side.
All the members of the group seem very wonderful.
As there is a sick Elder downstairs, I, sister Isa couldn't go to see them at the airport. But APs and President Isa went. The followings are the photos taken yesterday. He already speaks good Japanese!



This is not a formal notice, but Sister Isa just wanted to say, "Thank you," and Elder Peterson is doing well here.

With Love,
Sister Isa at Hiroshima Mission from her kitchen

P.S. If I had time I'll send you more photos.

Isn't that great? Yay!!! He's doing well! Stay tuned for more updates!

"Lord of the Rings" Relates to Missionary Work

J.R.R. Tolkien, in The Fellowship of the Rings, wrote this:

"The road must be trod, but it will be very
hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will
carry us far upon it. This quest may be
attempted by the weak with as much hope as
the strong. Yet it is oft the course of deeds
that move the wheels of the world: Small hands
do them because they must, while the eyes of
the great are elsewhere."


Alma 37:6 -- "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness
in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple
things are great things brought to pass; and small means
in many instances doth confound the wise."

By small and simple efforts, the young missionaries of the
church really can "confound the wise" and help the kingdom
roll forth!
