Ken has volunteered at the Red Cliffs temple open house. He did shifts all day on the day our stake was in charge and has filled in for other stakes in the less desirable jobs that they had been unable to fill on several other days- Jobs like bathroom attendant, parking lot attendant, and language coordinator.
One day, he was serving as the language coordinator when a brother from Montana came through. He was with a friend who is also Ken's friend and introduced him as Brother Hinton. The brother asked him if he knew any Hintons that served a mission in Japan. Ken asked the years. When he said 1973, Ken said " the Brother Hinton you are looking for is me." They then recognized each other. Later, when Ken was serving outside, they were able to visit and catch up a bit. This Brother Winward was Ken's district leader when Ken was first on his mission in Kumamoto, Japan. They lived in the same apartment. He was a fine Elder and taught Ken a lot. They rejoiced at seeing one another and, as the sons of Mosiah, that they were both still strong in their faith.

What a thrill for Ken! It ia such a thrill to run into people who were important to us in our past, and this would especially be meaningful to Ken to run into someone from his mission in the setting of the temple. Cool!
