Mission Story:

So thankful for mission experiences. Great companions and great Japanese people.

President Teruya was the President when I arrived. He fulfilled his three years and was replaced by President Kwak shortly thereafter.

One experience was being called as an assistant by President Richard D S Kwak from his hospital bedside as he was preparing to be released early because of his newly discovered terminal stomach cancer. President Sakai came to the mission soon thereafter, just two weeks after he was called by then Elder Boyd K. Packer. All wonderful leaders. Having family living on the same island, I was able to see President Kwak and his family in Hawaii for a few days after the mission. President Kwak passed away in August 1980 at the age of 58.
(P.S. That seems so young now that I am old!)
