"I hope they realize how strong they are and how loved they are,” said Sister Stevenson, “and how they’re so important to the rise and the growth of this country and of the Church here in Japan.”
Through those experiences, Elder and Sister Stevenson have gained a deep love for the people - including the youth - of Japan. He and his family later lived in Japan for seven years in various Church assignments. In addition to his missionary service, Elder Stevenson frequently traveled to the country as a businessman.
“I felt it a great privilege to be able to testify of Jesus Christ and of His role as our Savior and Redeemer in Japanese to our Japanese Saints,” said Elder Stevenson. Young Church members in attendance listened as Elder Stevenson spoke entirely in Japanese, a language he first learned as a young missionary.
