Sister Roberts and I had the privilege of presiding over the Japan Tokyo
North Mission from 1979-1982. During our time there, the Family
presentation was made by some very talented missionaries, Elders Quin
Coleman, Brett Raymond, Steven Johnson, Cal Call and Craig Cusworth, with
some wonderful Japanese language help from Sister Shigeru Kitamura. Our
young children even got roped in to provide the children's laughter with
the help of a feather duster. They are all happily married now and we have
four beautiful grandchildren, all born under the covenant. The two boys
both served missions in Japan - Paul in Tokyo North, and Adam in Tokyo
South. Our daughter, Rebecca, even married a returned misisonary from
Tokyo North.
