Sister Molinari and her mother. Grandparents to right. |
She returned home very late Friday evening after about 14 hours of air travel and 5+ hours of layover. She traveled back in time to arrive in Atlanta the same afternoon, a little less than an hour BEFORE, she departed from Tokyo!
On the way home, we stopped at the stake center where she was released from full-time missionary service and became Kirstin again. Well, after this experience, she will never again be the same Kirstin, but at least she can be called Kirstin again.

It was a long night for us as she started unpacking and sharing stories about people places and things. It was a long night for us, but even longer for her. She never went to sleep, since the sun was just about up and she wanted to go running and “needed to study”!
I will now relinquish control and maintenance of this blog over to her. We expect that she will make a final entry soon - once she wakes up!

Happy with berries! |
Happy family |
The unpacking begins. |
I am interested in hearing what you connection is to Kirsitn and this blog, particularly if you are from countries outside of North America. There are a number of followers from Russia, Poland, Ukraine, France and Turkey. I am curious to know how you found us and what attracts you to the blog.
Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below that you care to make about her mission to the people of Japan, on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on being a missionary or if you'd like more information on the church.
Thank you for your interest.
- the editor (and father) Gary Molinari
