She had travelled five hours from her home in Salmo, BC to receive her Gohonzon. She was accompanied by the women’s district leader from Rossland, BC in the Kootenay area.
The following morning, men’s and women’s meetings were held, and in the evening, a discussion meeting centring on the theme of mentor and disciple was held at the district municipality of Lake Country outside Kelowna.
