We have come to love Elder and Sister Wilson in the short time we have been here, or at least it seems like a short time. It has been 3 1/2 months already.
This has been their 2nd time to serve in the Hong Kong Temple as a couple, and Elder Wilson's 3rd.
It is clear that they have a great love for Hong Kong and it's people, and for serving in the temple.
We learned more about the Chinese people and their culture because of them.
They took their time to show us other areas of Hong Kong that a tourist might not typically see.
We saw where Elder Wilson lived as a young elder, and
where the church held meetings in Sham Shui Po more than 50 years ago.
They shared facts and Chinese traditions that we found quite interesting and unique.
They took us to the Jade Market, and gave a lesson in bargaining.
The introduced us to Stroopwafels,
and Elder Wilson personally escorted us to where we could buy some of our own.
President Wong passed their assignment to coordinate the Statutory Holidays on to us,
and they have been extremely helpful in preparing us for this responsibility.
Their suggestions and advice in adjusting to missionary life in Hong Kong
has been appreciated and beneficial.
They have taught us much from their examples of dedicated missionary service.
Elder Bodily, Sister Bodily, Sister Wilson, Elder Wilson
Walking to the train together, one last time.
Riding the train in First Class with a First-class lady.
We have made some happy memories with Elder (Bob) and Sister (Helga)Wilson, and we are going to miss them.
We wish them well, and look forward to seeing them again.
