Living in the United States, most of us know someone with the last name of Smith or Anderson because they are very common names. Well, here in China the surname Chan is so common that there are, most likely, more Chans than Smiths and Andersons and maybe even Bodilys combined.
We have just met two more with the arrival of Elder John and Sister Judy Chan
(no relation to Sister Nora Chan)
They come from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Elder Chan was born here in Hong Kong,
but left at the age of 9 to live with his grandparents in Canada.
Sister Chan was born and raised in Lethbridge and doesn't speak Chinese.
Elder and Sister Ngai invited the temple missionaries to their apartment for a welcome party for
Elder and Sister Chan.
Sister Ngai prepared fried noodles, and oh my, were they ever so good!
Elder Bodily and I both agree that fried noodles are one of our new favorite foods here in HK.

The Balls and The Bodilys (fellow Idahoans)
Elder and Sister Wilson
We had a nice relaxing evening getting better acquainted with everyone there.
We can tell the Chans are going to be a fun missionary couple to serve with, and will certainly be of great service to this temple.
Welcome, Elder and Sister Chan!
