Our temple presidency along with our Temple Matron and her assistants graciously provide a delicious meal, complete with table linens and centerpieces, in recognition of our departing and/or newly arrived temple missionaries.
This time it is the Shums and the Wilson's turn to be recognized. The Shums are leaving next week, and the Wilsons two weeks after that.
We also celebrated Elder and Sister Chan's arrival last month from Canada.
Those coming and going!
President Wong usually requests a few words before we eat.
Sister Shum spoke emotionally of the treasured gift she had just received.
A book complete with her family's genealogy for hundreds of years.
Sister So presented this book to her.
It truly is a treasure.
Elder Shum gave me a quick lesson in reading the Genealogy of Sister Shum's family.
It was quite impressive and fascinating to see.

If only you knew Bro. Choi what Sis. Yu is up to.
This is a side we haven't seen of Sister Yu before.
President Hui, what are you thinking?
