IN 1983 there circulated in the mission a tape by brother Lynn Bryson entitled "winning the testimony wars-the occult and rock 'n roll". It had snipets of backmasking, etc. I have searched high and low for a copy to no avail. Does anybody even remember that tape? I would be tickled to get a copy. Please let me know.

Hey all you 1994-1996 Sapporo Alumni: Our Reunion is on! March 30th at 7 PM. I just posted it with the Deseret News. 5 years ago I planned our last reunion and collected many emails. I sent out a notice using those emails and many came back as undeliverable. I really need all of your help in spreading the word about this reunion or else my trainer, Waka Tani Barrett Shimai and I will be singing karaoke all alone. Please email all your alumni friends and direct them to this link for details. Humor me and send me an RSVP and let me know if you are coming. The whole family is welcome. I'm at simmons.anne@gmail.com

I like contact with those who were in Hokkaido while I was - 81/82. And it's nice to swap info with who likes art, horses, Ford Mustangs and finance. Royal Mathews (was Pinch choro)

Have fun in Japan, Elder Allred! By the way, I just got a phone call from Mr. Yasuo Yamoto (the fish carver, with the wife who worked at the hospital that treated your jinmashin) the other day, and they are doing well and living in Date-shi. He recently visited the United States for the first time. E-mail me and I'll give you his contact information if you'd like to visit the Yamotos while you're in Japan.

I found the Young Women Theme, along with a bunch of other good stuff, at the LDS Church's Japanese website. The link can be found at the following:
http://www.ldschurch.jp/perfectthesaints/youngwomen.htm
then go down to where it says "teema" and cut and paste the passage below it, which begins "Watashi wa Ten No Onchichi no Musume desu."
Hope this is helpful.

The Church has a nifty website that has all the location for all the Churches in Japan.
http://www.ldschurch.jp/ch_directory.html
So you can come to church when you are here.

My wife is in the young women's presidency in the Japanese Dai Ichi Ward and so she told me that we had some Japanese copies of the Personal Progress book which contains the Young Women's Theme. I have written it in Romaji below. I also have it in Kanji in Word, but it looks like this message system won't accept kanji. I could email you the Word document and a scan of the page with the theme from the Personal Progress book.
Wakai Josei no Tema
Watshitachi wa Tenpu no musume desu. Tenpu wa watashitachi wo ai shi,
Watashitachi mo Tenpu wo ai shite imasu. Watashitachi wa wakai josei no tokushitsu ni shitagatte seikatsu suru youni tsutome, itsudemo, dono youna koto ni tsuite mo, dono youna tokoro ni ite mo, Kami no shounin ni naru koto wo nozonde imasu.
Wakai josei no tokushitsu:
Shinko
Kami kara uketsuida tokushitsu
Kojin no kachi
Chishiki
Sentaku no Sekinin
Yoi okonai
Seijitsu
Watashitachi wa, korera no tokushitsu wo ukeire, sore ni shitagatte koudou suru youni naru ni tsurete, katei to kazoku wo tsuyome, shinsei na seiyaku wo kawashite mamori, shinden no gishiki wo uke, shouei no shukufuku ni azukaru sonae ga dekiru youni naru to shinjimasu.

If my memory serves me well the link that Jason Lowry put on his message is the Shiroishi church. It looks like it is in the right place.

I was never in Shiroishi, but could this be the church?

Some wards in the area are doing a Young Women recognition night in which world cultures of the church is to be the theme. I have been asked to get the Young Women Theme in Japanese for them and I can't seem to find an exact translation anywhere on the web. Since it is coming up next week, time is of the essence. If any of you can help, please do.
Arigatoo ne,

Hello everyone. I served in the Sapporo Mission under Pres. Munns in '85-'87. The area I served in the longest was in Shiroishi. After 20 years, I am finally able to go back to Japan as a tourist and would like to visit the Shiroishi ward. Can anyone tell me if the church building is still on Hon-dori yon-chome and who the Bishop is now? I would like to contact him and see if anyone I knew is still around.
Also, I served there with Miura Shinichi from Yokohama. He married Matsushita Shiruka, who also served in Shiroishi. I have been trying to contact him, but have lost his info. Anyone out there know how I could get a hold of them
Domo, ne.

You know Japan is birthplace of small digital cameras, right?
When I was in Japan 12 years ago, Sony and other Japanese companies would release stuff in Akihabara years before their international/US release. Now their releases are pretty much global.
You could pick up the Sony DSC-W30 for about $150. It's nice and small with a big LCD. My brother was on a mission a couple of years ago and just bought a couple of extra memory sticks and then shipped them back and forth to my parents.
I'd recommend not looking like a tourist. Go for something light and small. Pick up a waterproof case if you can, otherwise ziplock bags work great. Also - I always recommend the LiON batteries, but they actually don't do well in the bitter cold. [You've heard about Hokkaido?!?]
Here's the best site for digital camera reviews:

First of all, itte irrashai! God speed!
Speaking as someone who has been home from the mission for a few years now, you had better plan on taking pictures! And lots of them - as long as it doesn't interfere with the work of course.
A digital camera wasn't an option for me, but what I wouldn't give to have had my little Canon DC120 with me then (DVD video camera that takes 2mp stills and small for a video cam - fits in a suit pocket). But I'm sure glad that I took a lot of pics. I don't remember things well, and the pics and my journals are all I've got now of the sights and more importantly of good friends, fellow missionaries, investigators and members.
I'd recommend something small - remember you're going everywhere on foot, bike, train or bus. You've gotta fit it in your backpack along with your scriptures and copies of the Mormon Sho and an umbrella and poncho and gloves etc etc. Better still if it fits in your pocket.
You can buy memory over there, but I'm not sure how reasonable the prices are. Or will you just have the pics printed and then erase them from your memory card?

Regarding the Change in mission allignment in Japan:
1. The news was read in every Sacrament Meeting in Japan on Sunday,
January 28, 2007. We were in the Nakano Ward and heard it there. We
were already aware of the details but it is now official.
2. The Tokyo Metropolitan Area will now be one Mission with President
Allen Hill (Current Japan Tokyo North Mission President) as the
president of the new Japan Tokyo Mission.
The Japan Tokyo Mission will consist of the ten Tokyo-area stakes
(Tokyo,Tokyo South, Yokohama, Fujisawa, Machida, Matsudo, Musashino,
Saitama, Chiba, and Kiryu Stakes)
3. The Japan Tokyo South Mission and Japan Tokyo North Mission will
no longer exist as such.
4. The Japan Kobe Mission will be reopened with the mission home
being in Kobe in the former Mission Home as soon as it is ready to
move into.
The Japan Kobe Mission President willl be President Val Tucker
(who is currently serving as the Mission President of the Japan Tokyo
South Mission).
The Japan Kobe Mission will consist of the three Osaka Stakes,
the Kobe Stake, the Kyoto Stake, the Fukuchiyama District and the
Shingu Branch.
5. The Japan Nagoya Mission Boundary will be changed to include:
Nagoya Stake, Nagoya East Stake, Shizuoka Stake, Kanazawa Stake, and
Nagano District.
6. The Japan Hiroshima Mission will include: Hiroshima Stake, Okayama
Stake, Matsuyama District, Takamatsu District and Yamaguchi District.
"The reestablishment of the Kobe Mission in Kansai and the creation
of the Tokyo Mission which will focus on greater Tokyo are
significant steps in moving forward missionary work in Japan."
These changes will take place"...on or about March 1, 2007,..."
We hope this helps in understanding what has taken place. There are
many saints excited about this change and we, Sister Broadhead and I,
are two of them. We are excited for two reasons: 1)the Kansai area
will have the Kobe Mission again for the saints there and 2)the
Nagoya Mission, over which we presided for three years (1985-88),
will have all of its former boundary back plus the two newcomers---
Shizuoka and Nagano. It will be especially exciting to see the
missionary work fluorish under one Mission in Tokyo as it was when I
was here (1954-57).
These are indeed very wonderful times in which we live and serve in
this country with so many wonderful, faithful people.
With kindest regards always,

Since the topic of songs was brought up...Some songs that were popular in the mission in the mid 1970's were a couple of Christmas parodies...
The first one to the tune "Deck the Halls"
Goshujinsan wa imasuka, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sokkugakkai kankanai wa, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Ni, san pun wa dodesshoka, fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Kekko de gozaimasuna, fa la la la la, la la, la, laaaa.
Sugi wa.... the the tune "Jingle Bells"
Dashing through the snow, in a pair of rubber ducks, o're the streets we go, dodging all the trucks.
Bells in danchis ring, making spirits rise,
Come on senior let's go home I've had it for tonight!
Oh oh, Dendo time, dendo time, dendo all the time, let's go look up Sato san and see if we can dine.
Dendo time, dendo time, dendo all the time I've said it once, I've said it twice, it's a quarter after nine!
I believe the credit for these go to Elder Fisher and Elder Oaksan, 1974-1976, approx. Anyone else from that jidai, please feel free to correct me. I loved all of Elder Oaksan' s other compositions, ie, Mack Choro. (Pres. Kimball's grandson)
Gannbatte kudasi and Merry Christmas to all the current and former "Frozen Chosen!"

I have taken my family to Kyoto several times and one of my daughters ended up serving there on her mission. One of their favorite places to go is Nijo Castle (Nijojo) and it is easy to get to in the middle of town.
We have stayed at the Holiday Inn there. It is worked well for us, but it is not close to very many things so if you do not have a car it may not be the best place to stay.
One of the places my wife liked to stop is the 100 yen store just across the street from the station. Everything in the shop is 100 yen so when you check out they just count the number of items you have and multiply by 100 to calculate what you owe. There are a lot of very nihon teki things that are used day to day in Japan in those shops, no so much the tourist trap stuff.
