Elder Fillmore making yakisoba for us. We are the Fillmores' home teachers - they always feed us something yummy!
The Scoffields came for Sunday dinner - caught him with his eyes closed!
Here are the Froelichs who also came.
And with Nathan Quinn who was visiting. It turned out that the Froelichs and Nathan knew each other!
Sister Goth preparing the apple crisp that we had for FHE dessert.
Yesterday I took a bus tour around Tokyo with the temple missionaries. They now have a two week vacation while the temple is closed.
Our bus - # 7!
Sister Pinckney, Sister Sonomura and me ready for a fun day.
The famous lantern at Asakusa-Sensouji as you enter the Nakamise Shopping area.
Our cute tour guide on the bus - she spoke a mile a minute in Japanese. I didn't understand but just enjoyed looking out the window. I had been to some of the places before and so knew where we were and some things about them.
I love seeing these brooms - here they are with the more conventional mops and brushes.
We followed our leader with her little yellow flag.
Greeting a friendly dog.
OK - be back here at 10:50!
Here we go!
Sister Sonomura and I in front of one of the statues. She was my buddy for the day.
Here is a friendly reminder - don't hang up your shirts or you may get dumped on!
One of the many little shops on the way to the shrines.
Sister and Elder Pinckney in one of the tiny shops. She was searching for the little headbands with the Rising Sun on them - like you see the boys wearing for karate. She also wanted a carp wind sock for her gazebo.
Here we are in front of the huge lantern.
President Inoue got such a kick out of me snapping this picture - he just shook his head.
A little restaurant - love the rope covering the trees.
Inside the shrine - people praying and throwing money into the slots.
Leaves are still on some of the trees!
Isn't this tree dramatic against the blue sky!
Too bad pigeons are so messy - they are just beautiful!
Three dogs!
Our beautiful, artistic lunch!
Window view of Tokyo from the 51st floor where we ate.
Lunch!
Group picture in front of the entrance to the Meiji Shrine.
So cute!
Right under the Tokyo Tower!
I just can't help taking pictures of cute kids!
Sister Sonomura's name is Marion. We saw this banner and I insisted that we take her picture by it.
View from the bottom ...
Getting ready to go on the elevator to the observation deck.
And the view!
School girls - skirts rolled up!
Spotting the temple spire!
A little shrine in the tower.
Standing on a little clear window looking down!
And two children peering down.
A neon model of the tower.
There was an art museum - here is "The Scream".
And a wax museum - we didn't go in.
Bunny treats ...
Too beautiful to eat!
Now on to the Odiaba area - the Statue of Libery replica.
School kids on a field trip...
Sister Sonomura from Hawaii in front of a Hawaiian burger place - she said there was nothing like that in Hawaii!
Fun stores!
Rainbow Bridge
The Disney Store
And I wish we had been able to go on this bus! Hello Kitty!
It was a great day and I thank the temple missionaries for letting me tag along!
This says it all!
