Brother Suzuki spoke in the branch today. He is from Japan, but has lived in Hong Kong for 22 years, and has served on the District's High Council for the past decade. This is his last Sunday to speak as a high councilman in Hong Kong, as he has been transferred to Singapore and will be moving there in two weeks.
Brother Suzuki joined the church at the age of 17 and was the only one in his family to do so.
He was the very first student to graduate from Institute in Japan.
We have become acquainted with Brother Suzuki since he attends the temple every week, and has done so for the past 20 years.
He bore his testimony, but it was difficult for him to get out the words, as he was quite emotional.
He had recently attended the dedication of the Sapporo Japan Temple a short time ago, at which time he sat across from Elder Russell M. Nelson and Elder Gary E. Stevenson, and his Institute teacher from way back when, who is now the Patriarch of that district.
It was apparent that meant a lot to him.
We are going to miss seeing him at the temple. He's a guy we'd like to meet again someday.
For now, we hope the Lord will bless him as he continues his work in Singapore.
