Jubilant July!


 Celebrating our 39th Anniversary--date night at the Otaru Canals after zone conference.

 Our former missionaries married in the Sapporo Temple!  Sweet, Sweet, Sweet!!

Lots of Baptisms!
(Yes, that is the newlywed couple still being missionaries the morning after their wedding.)

Tacos Anyone?
Taco is Japanese for octopus.
Yep, that's what they ate! The octopus was still alive in this photo.

We are shrinking - from a peak of 108 down to 95.
