No Coincidence!

  After our shift at the temple, we needed to make a mad dash to the Pharmacy in Central on Hong Kong Island before they closed.  This meant taking a train line we hadn't before.  But, we looked at our handy little MTR map, and thought we had determined the best possible route to take.

So, off we went!

  It was unbelievable how crowded the train terminal was that evening, and when the train pulled up, we weren't sure we could even get on because it was so jammed packed with people.  I thought I had found the best spot, but Elder Bodily felt the next door down was better.  So, I followed and we managed to push our way through onto the Kwun Tong line.  Low and behold, Catherine Concepcion, another ordinance worker got on the train right behind us.  With the numerous doors on the train and the hundreds of people in the station, what are the odds of her getting on the train in the exact same place?  NOT VERY GOOD!

  We knew we would have to change trains, but we were confident that Yau Ma Tei was the right stop to change over to the Tsuen Wan line, and it was only 4 stops away.  While we were visiting with Sister Concepcion, the train stopped a couple of times.  As we approached the 3rd stop, we noticed lights flashing, but didn't think much about it.  But then, Elder Bodily asked what are those lights all about, and she explained that the last interchange stop was coming up.  That meant we had better get off a stop earlier than we had planned, or we, for sure, we would end up going farther than needed.
  So, we got off, hustled to the other train, and as it turned out, we made it to the pharmacy just 5 minutes before closing.
  If Sister Concepcion had not got on the train where she did, we would have not made it in time for sure.   Is it a coincidence that she did?  We know it wasn't.

 The Lord watches over us.
