It took approximately 8 hours to drive to the Fukuoka temple. We went on a branch temple trip about twice a year, if that. We all loaded on a bus at midnight (so people could sleep) and arrived in Fukuoka at around 8:00 a.m. When we got to the temple we did 2 sessions back to back. One time a Japanese lady in our branch asked me to be the proxy for one of her ancestors,which made me feel honored. The second time we were able to attend the temple I got to perform baptisms for the dead, and Mike got to be a witness. We had a testimony meeting on the bus on the drive back. The branch members made it a special experience. They don't get to go to the temple very often, so they make sure not to take their opportunity for granted.
