It is such a blessing to be sitting in the Salt Lake Temple with other couples preparing to serve in various temples around the world while being instructed by outstanding leaders in the Church.
We have participated in Temple Ordinances, been shown parts of the temple we had not seen before, and been well fed, both physically and spiritually.
During one of our breaks, Sister Walker shared a personal family memory with Elder Bodily and I. She told us that just prior to President and Sister Hinckley's 50th Wedding Anniversary, her father asked her mother where she would like to be on their anniversary. She said, "I want to be walking the streets of Hong Kong with all of our children". Sister Hinckley had a love for the Hong Kong area and its people. So, they made arrangements for each of her siblings and their spouses to celebrate their parent's anniversary in the very city we will begin serving in just a few days. We appreciated her for sharing a family memory with us personally. This only adds to our anxiousness to see for ourselves what makes Hong Kong so special and endearing.
Looking forward to tomorrow, our final day of training.
