Our Second Sunday Opening!

Had a wonderful Sunday as we served in the temple for the 
Special Sunday Opening, which is held four times a year.
The purpose of the temple being opened on Sunday is to give those sisters, who have no other day than Sunday to attend the temple, an opportunity to perform sacred ordinances,
 and feel of the Spirit, and receive blessings that can only be found in the House of the Lord.

For now, the Hong Kong Temple is the only temple in the world that is doing this.
A special Sacrament meeting is held in the chapel across the street from the temple, 
that we attend before the temple doors open. 
 President Tai, our District President presided and conducted the Sacrament Meeting.
It is unique to see two Sacrament tables prepared for the Sacrament ordinance, but is necessary to provide the sacrament to a completely filled chapel and cultural hall in a timely manner.
Elder Bodily assisted other temple and area missionaries 
in the blessing and passing of the Sacrament.

We get a little teary as we see these beautiful women filling the temple and serving as proxies for others who have passed on without the saving ordinances.

This was the Lees and Chans first experience with serving in the temple on a Sunday, and our second.
