Arriving in Japan


1st Day here:

     We just wanted you to know that we made it fine and had an uneventful flight.  We hope you are doing fine.   It is a beautiful city here.  We were met at the airport by Elder Aoyagi and Elder and Sister Maetoni.  We had our dinner all prepared by them and we were shown our offices and we go to work tomorrow.  Right now it is 9:30 our time and you all are just getting up, we think.  Since we haven’t had a night for quite a few hours we are tired and I’m not writing so well.  We love you and our thoughts and concerns are with you. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                               
2nd Day here:

                Answering our grandson's question: It took us 10 hours flying from Seattle to Tokyo.  We left Utah at 11:30 A.M. and got to Seattle at about 12:30 P.M. Pacific Time.  We left there about 3:00 P.M.  and got to the Tokyo-Narita Airport the next day at about 4:30 P.M.  It was a long flight and we missed having our night!  We are in Tokyo  in the Minato-Ku area right by  the Asia North Area offices.  We walk from our apartment to the office in about a hundred steps, so it is really close.

                Today we have had a long day and we are very tired again and we hope to get adjusted to the new time schedule.  We don’t think we have seen any dojos or ninjas, but I did see an older lady just walking to the store in a kimono.

                We’ll talk to you again when we aren’t so tired.
