Week 38 - January 14-20

A sign on the wall by the desk that Elder Koberstein works from at the Family History Library.
We attended Zone Conference Thursday afternoon.  On the walk to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building we saw a crew taking down the Christmas lights.  It was amazing to see.
When the conference was over it was raining as we walked back to the Family History Library.  We forgot our umbrellas but many others had been insightful enough to be prepared for the wet weather.
Saturday Elder Koberstein and I went to Sage Market (Japanese Market) in Salt Lake City.  We ran into an Elder Blackburn.  He served with us in Kumamoto, Japan five years ago.  He was visiting a friend from the area.  It was a fun chance meeting.  He was amazed we were still wearing missionary name tags. 
We took my sister and her husband to Sage Market for Ramen.  They ordered Miso (soy broth) Ramen and Soba with shrimp.
Elder Koberstein and I enjoyed Tonkatsu (pork broth) Ramen.  This market appears to be owned and operated by Japanese.  It is very authentic even to the bumper to bumper parking lot situation.  A fun reminder of the past.
This week has been hard on our snowman.  The weather thinks spring is on its way.  It has been very warm and even rained.  We see snow on the mountains around Bountiful but it is mostly melted in the valley.  I am told these are designer storms.  Snow in the mountains is good for water next summer.

THOUGHT FOR YOU

President Dallin H. Oaks taught: “Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.”
