States Embassy and was used as interpreter by President Eisenhower and other VIP's visiting Japan. When John and Orpha arrived at their Tokyo hotel on Christmas Eve, they turned on the television in their room. They were anxious to see the broadcast of the Apollo VIII astronauts Frank Borman, William Anders and James Love11 in lunar orbit. Much to their surprise, there was their old friend Sen Nishiyama, translating the whole program for Japanese television. What a thrill to listen to him translate as the astronauts described the Earth as "a grand oasis in the vastness of space" and as they read the first ten verses of Genesis regarding the creation of the earth!

They were able to visit England, France, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Monaco, Spain, and Portugal.
