Musical Fireside on August 14 at 6:00pm

The Tokyo North Mission is hosting an event on August 14 at 6:00pm featuring Nik and Darla Day. The Days have graciously offered to put on a musical fireside in which they will use music to teach gospel principles.

From President Tueller, the mission president:

“The target audience is non-member friends who are investigating the gospel. Missionaries are invited to bring their friends. If those being taught are also being fellowshipped by a young member or YSA, they may attend with the investigator and the missionaries. Otherwise, they are invited to participate over Zoom using the link in the flyer.”

They hope to have around 200 people including missionaries and friends.
