January 2011- A New Year Begins!

This past week we held special training for all the sisters in the mission. We now have 21 serving in the Kobe Mission. Each sister received an "I Love Kobe" apron. Right before lunch everyone signed each others aprons. The morning consisted of talks and training by the President and Sister McIntyre and in the afternoon each sister companionship trained the others sister on a missionary principle from Preach My Gospel.

Happy sisters!
Preparing lunch at the mission home.
Eating lunch at the mission home.
It was a wonderful day with the sisters.
We also celebrated a few birthdays this month. Elder Bowman serves in Kobe and got a cookie.
January is mochi pounding month. The Kobe Ward makes mochi each year to welcome the new year. This year President took a turn at pounding while Sister McIntyre sets it.
Well if you've ever wondered if we have snow in the mission, the following pictures should answer that question. This year we have had a lot up on the Japan Sea side of the mission.
These pictures were taken as we entered Tottori prefecture on the way to Yonago.
At interviews in Takamatsu we celebrated a birthday with Elder Emery.
And back in Kobe Sister Wajima had a birthday too.
The first week of January we held our monthly Zone Leader Council in Kobe.
The first Sunday of January we started out the year by visiting a baptism in Tokushima for 87 year old Sister Ono.
On New Year's Day we had a sports activity in Ibaraki and a few of our former missionaries came to see us.
The year ended on a great note with December being our highest month for baptisms since the mission reopened over three years ago. We are confident 2011 will be a great year in the Kobe Mission.

Zone Leader Council October 2010

We had a great Zone Leader Council and Training in October. After our normal training and meetings, we spent some time cleaning the mission home yard. We then made our way up the mountain by the river a relaxing BBQ , training and testifying. (and some fun)
Yard work service project!
Hike up the mountain to the river campsite.
The group up at the river.
Enjoying the marshmallows and hot dogs.
Rock throwing contest. Don't ask how this got started, but most everyone took a try.
Yes, even President and Sister McIntyre gave it a try!
Training and testimonies.
Sammy loved the day as well. Lot's of friends to play with.Japan has some rather large spiders and snakes and other wildlife besides the elders.
We think this was one of the non poisonous types. We did not try and find out though.
