Cirque De La Symphonie

We joined Elder and Sister Chan and a few of the Asia Area missionaries for dinner and to attend a cultural event in the Concert Hall at the HK Cultural Centre
Sister Whitman insisted each couple sit at a table with another couple who we didn't know as well.  So, we became better acquainted with Elder and Sister Holbrook as we ate dinner together.
We learned a few interesting things as we talked of our families and missionary experiences.
Outside Dan Ryan's in Tsim Sha Tsui
with E/S Powell, E/S Orton, E/S Chan, E/S Holbrook, E/S Chamberlain
Dinner was excellent, and possibly the best place we have eaten in Hong Kong.
Waiting for the show to begin. 
(Thank you, Sister Van Wagenen for taking our picture)
Cirque De La Symphonie was excellent.  Twelve amazing acts were performed with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra performing as their accompaniment.  
This orchestra is world class!  
The acts ranged from aerial silks to contortion and dance, and some juggling.  Some of the acts were more incredible than others, 
but all were entertaining. 
It was an evening of great company, great food, great performances, some laughter,
and quite enjoyable.

Mom, you look beautiful! Chinese life seems to be agreeing with you. Seeing you and Dad in these pictures sure makes us miss you!! Sounds like you had a great night, but we can't wait until you're having dinner with us again!!

I'm not sure about looking beautiful, but thank you. And, we look forward to having dinner with our family in 13 months.
