Whats black & yellow, always working and you don't see it often?

If you happened to guess Bees?  Sorry, we mean Elder Loud.

Drake has been serving in the Japan Tokyo mission now for the last several months.  He recently had the opportunity to travel north from Tokyo to Sendai and do some service for the people who have been struggling with the aftermath of the Tsunami.  

He tells us although the earthquake that triggered all of the chaos happened months ago there is still a great deal of work to be done in order to return the country to normal.  He and his fellow missionaries from Tokyo spent some time up there helping with whatever they could to try and make a difference in some small way to the people of Japan.  

Drake loves the people and the country of Japan.  In keeping with his positive attitude he loves the language and the food and is grateful for the opportunity he has to serve in Japan at this time.

Just so you're not too disappointed with the opening riddle we do have a few bees for you too!

A neighbor recently called in a panic about a large bunch of bees stuck in her tree in the back yard.  She wanted to know if there was any way to remove them from her yard. 

You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that those pesky bees are now quite comfortable making honey and living in a hive in our back yard!  We love our neighbors!
