I am looking for any missionaries that may have taught my parents, Takao and Julie Yamada, between 1979 and 1982. My mom is from California and had moved to Japan to marry my dad, and they had their first child, Eimi, in 1981. They lived in Ryogoku, Sumida-ku, Tokyo, then moved to Kashiwa out in Chiba. They attended the English-speaking ward for a couple of years before getting baptized in October of 1982. Please email me if you knew them! Meg_Yamada@yahoo.com

We have a mission reunion coming up on the 22nd of September. We are still working on a location and will let you know where it will be when we find out. If everyone who is planning on attending can RSVP so I can make some small assignments that would be great. You can email me at blanscett@gmail.com if you have any questions.

HI, I have been in touch with Yoshimi on and off since my mission. I served 85-87. I last had contact with the Watanabe family in 2001, when they sent a christmas card. I have lost Yoshimi's email address. Can anyone help me with this? I would be extremely grateful.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Johnson

I seem to recall a chain of Curry rice shops called "Gyuyu Chen (Beef-friend chain)" from 24 years ago. I'll be back in Tokyo, and though the odds seem against it, if this chain ever existed, and still exists, I'd like to go back. Does anyone else recall this hot-spot for post-taikai dining? If so, does anyone happen to recall a real name or location?
Kind regards,
Steve

Here are some answers to common questions I have been getting:
"Where exactly is the reunion?" It is a Ward Building in East Sandy located on the east side of the street on Eastdell (2300 East) just south of 9800 South. We will make some sort of sign as well. Please call me at 801.455-2789 if you need more detailed directions.
"How many people are coming?" The easy answer is somewhere between 20 and 200 people. I have received correspondence from a lot of people and if they all come, it will be a pretty full house. Regardless, it will be fun to catch up and share memories.
Will the Buch really be there?" President Kikuchi gets into town today 3/29 and will be there. Kikuchi Shimai had to stay home this time.
"What sort of food should I bring? Does it need to be Japanese?" Bring whatever you want (main dish or dessert). Kuimasho!
"Will there be a program?" Not really. Pres. Kikuchi will probably talk a bit, but other than that it will be quite informal. We do, however, plan on getting a Karaoke machine for a future reunion.
Please contact me via email or phone with any other questions.
Thanks.

After hearing from a number of people, we have decided to go the "no kids" route this time to facilitate catching up without worrying about chasing children around the building. Things look on track for future reunions, so there will be opportunity for more family oriented gatherings the future. If you would like names of good babysitters near the reunion site, please contact me.
Dress will be casual.
A $2 per person donation would be appreciated to help cover costs. Any excess funds will be passed to the next reunion coordinator.
Please feel free call me at (801)455-2789 with questions or input. See you next Friday!

Dear former missionaries of JTNM (especially 1979-82)
December 2005 ahas arrived and we start thinking about special friends and family and wonder what happened to the year. We are obviously older, extra wrinkles a little more flab and certainly more than a few grey hairs. However, we are happy and well- what more could we ask.
We are still running around the North Island with Mike being in the Mission Presidency. Mike is still Academic Director of AIS St Helen’s and is kept busy with the challenges that the position presents; I still love being a nurse enough to enjoy going to work three or four days a week. We have Becky and her husband Mark (Wolfersberger) and their two children, Emily and Christopher with us keeping us young and adding joy and hilarity to our lives while Mark tackles his PhD at the University of Auckland.
Number 1 son Adam and wife Michelle enjoy living in Hamilton (near the NZ Temple) where Adam works as a Doctor at Waikato Hospital. Harrison, now two and a half is a bright and happy boy. Adam is serving as the Elders Quorum President in his ward.
Number 2 son Paul and wife Haidee purchased a house in Whakatane at the beginning of the year and have been adding to their house and adding to their family with Baby Esther arriving in June. Wilford is very proud of his baby sister. Paul works as a High School Teacher and has just been called as Second Counselor in the Tauranga Stake Presidency. At just 26 years of age he is feeling very inadequate and quite overwhelmed. We know he will do a good job in his new calling.
We have been richly blessed, but our greatest blessing is the gospel of peace in this troubled world. We ponder anew the wonder of the Saviour's birth this Christmas season and pray that you and yours will feel peace and comfort too. God bless you all and thank you for being our wonderful friends.
With much love
Mike and Christine Roberts
Mission President JTNM (1979-82)

Jones Shimai and Kyoudai wanted me to post a message to tell everyone HELLO! Patrick and I just got back from Japan and spent some time with Komatsu Dendoubuchou in Osaka and spoke with Bro and Sis Jones while we were there.
They are serving another mission in Hiroshima and will be coming home next December. They send there love to all who served with them.
Thanks

Here's a web site with a lot of Off Course CDs.

This may sounds nuts, but does anybody know how I could find some Off Course CDs? I brought some music home with me from Japan, but a car burglary took it long ago and I'd like to replace it if possible. Any information would be helpful.

I'm looking for a family who can accept my daughter as a home stay Host Family for a year from 2006-2007. She is in 10th grade, and planning to study abroad for 1 year.
Because we are LDS church members, we would like to ask a church member who can accept her, and who lives in the district of the High-school that has an ESL program.
We prefer someone lives in Utah.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year! It brings joy and love into a dreary world all because of a babe born in Bethlehem of Judea. For many of us throughout the world, we turn our thoughts and hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ. As we do so, we tend to be a little more thoughtful, a little kinder and more loving. Our Saviour said, "As I have loved you, love one another." That is the true meaning of Christmas! We love Him more and remember Him more because he has done so much for us! And so we should love our fellow men more, and want to do more and give more of ourselves and share his wonderful gospel with others.
A poem written by Emmett Fox best expresses the power of love:
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer
No disease enough that love will not heal
No door that enough love will not open
No gulf that enough love will not bridge
No wall that enough love will not throw down
No sin that enough love will not redeem
In a nutshell, a sufficient infusion of true love will disolve all the deeply seated trouble in the world, shatter hopeless outlook and clear up muddled tangles. If we truly want to be the happiest people in the world, we need only love our neighbors as ourselves. How can we show our Saviour how much we love him? As returned missionaries, as his ambassadors, what can we offer to show our love for Him and our gratitude for his birth and life and sacrifice for all of us? We can offer our dedicated service to our fellow men, our time, talents and all that we have to serve and love one another. We can go the extra mile to find and help others on the path towards exaltation. We can forget and lose ourselves in the service of others. We can become, little by little, more like Him.
 Christ has no hands but our hands to do His work today.
He has no feet but our feet to lead men His way.
He has no tongue but our tongue to tell men how He died.
He has no help but our help to bring them to His side.
Let's keep Christ as the very centre of this Christmas and feast on Him, for it is His birth that we celebrate this season. As the webmaster of the Japan Tokyo North Mission Alumni site, I wish you all a joyous and happy Christmas! May you feel the love of our Saviour in your hearts and receive a witness that you are a child of God!
Love One Another, p.308 - Luacine Clark Fox (© 1961)
As I have loved you, Love one another.
This new commandment: Love one another.
By this shall men know Ye are my disciples,
If ye have love One to another.
Sincerely,
|

For any of you that served in Nagano ward, I was hoping someone knew how to contact Takashi Wada. I kept in touch with him up through his mission to Salt Lake City South, BYU, and then his job with Universal Studios, but now I've lost him. I'd love to give him a call or an email to catch up, maybe even go for a visit. If you know how to contact him ask him to get in touch with me, PLEASE!
Thank you.

Several inquires have been made on the lds-j Japan mailing list, so far the only thing mentioned has been that some members that were stuck traveling were staying with local members due to the damage to the rail networks. As the Niigata area is still a Mission District under the direction of the Sendai Mission, I presume that official emergency member coordination is being handled through that office with the direction from the Area PBO.

I spent 14 months of my mission in Niigata Ken, (Sanjo, Niigata and Nagaoka). I know that this area is in the Sendai Mission now but does anyone know how the members are in this area after the earthquake?
