Last week Dad and I attended
the interim mission president’s seminar, which was held in Sopporo Japan and
Seoul Korea. Since our previous mission
president’s seminar we knew this interim seminar was going to be held in Japan,
where the recently dedicated Sopporo Temple was. But with recent international/political unrest
involving North Korea and South Korea Elder Dallin H Oaks felt it would not be
wise/look good if further tensions broke out and all the Korea Missions
presidents were out of the country/in Japan while their missionaries were in a
state of emergency. SO . . . . The Japan Missions along with the Micronesia Gam
Mission presidents all gathered in Sopporo while the Korea Missions presidents gathered
in Seoul. Dad and I took a flight up to
Seoul (traffic was so bad with the holidays –Buddha’s birthday and Children’s
Day that we missed our KTX train) (literalist office elder) - all this was the
week before when Dad and I made a special trip to Seoul to have emergency
preparedness talks with the Korea Mission presidents, the director of temporal affairs
for the Asia North Area, the area security manager, and the security manager
from Salt Lake, talking about what level of danger we are at. This trip we took the KTX train up to Seoul. Dad and I walked into the Marriott Hotel to
see this display in the small café off to the side. I thought of Kelly when I saw all these
Barbies!!
