May was one of our best months for convert baptisms in recent years. There are still several pictures not included. It was wonderful to see so many fruits of the missionaries' and members' labors.

Kobe Mission Quilt
Hand sewn by Sister McIntyre, the quilt was created to unite the mission in our purpose. Upon arriving in the mission, every missionary signs a square on the quilt and then later dates it when he Returns Home with Honor. It hangs in the mission office for all to see and reminds us that we are all part of this great mission, united in purpose and woven together through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
New Kobe Mission Logo
Represents the harvest. "And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts." D&C 29:7
Kobe Mission Logo - The Anchor Mark
This logo was used in the Kobe Mission before its temporary closure in 2001. The mark can be seen around the city of Kobe and it represents the convergence of the two ports in the bay at Kobe. Often referred to as the mark of the anchor. In the scriptures we learn that hope is our anchor. We have great hope in Christ and for a marvelous work to come to pass in this mission. (See Hebrews 6:19 and Ether 12:4)
Japan Central Mission Logo
A forerunner to the Japan Kobe Mission, the Japan Central Mission was based in Kobe. This logo was also used in the early original Kobe Mission. It represents the gospel message being proclaimed with the sound of a trump in the land of the rising sun. (See D&C 24:12 and D&C 29:4)
