While serving as a missionary in the Boshu district, Japan, Elder Fred. A. Caine and his companions were blessed by the Lord to loosen their tongues, enabling them to communicate the Gospel in the Japanese language to those they encountered.
In Their Own Words
“The Lord greatly blessed the Elders in their efforts to speak the Japanese language, and whenever they met those who manifested a desire to learn of the Gospel, the Lord did not fail to loosen their tongues, so that they could speak in a way that at least the most of what they said was understood by their listeners. — Millennial Star 66:5”
