Congratulations, Brother and Sister Karino
April 03rd, 2025 by John Mansfield
This month’s Going Against the Grain Award recognizes newly called Seventy Motoshige Karino and his Wife Merei.
“Motoshige Karino, 52, Togane, Japan; Representative Director, Modere Japan GK; currently serving as president of the Chiba Japan Stake; former bishop, mission presidency counselor and stake presidency counselor; wife: Mirei; seven children.”
Only such as those two ignore the scorn of the world, set aside fear, and realize the happiness and fullness available to those who want it.

Wow! Considering how few children there are in Japan, they REALLY went against the grain – and in a society that strongly frowns upon ‘the nail that sticks up’. May their posterity rise up and call them blessed.
