Our Six-Month Mark!

It is hard to believe that we have been on our mission for 6 months, but it is true.  Six months today! 

Others have told us the time would go by fast, and that is true too. 

 Time is flying by, and a third of our mission is over.

The following photos are a glimpse of what we have been doing and seeing when we finish for the day at the temple.

Getting a picture with those we meet at the temple.

 Sometimes on the steps of the temple.

Sometimes at Patron Housing.

Having dinner with our fellow missionaries is a must.

Asian posing at an American eating establishment.

Even in Hong Kong a good hamburger can be found.

Some claim The Butcher's Club is the best place to get one.

I'm going to see for myself if thats true.

There is that Asian pose again.

We joined the club and got ourselves a selfie stick.

It took a few tries, but we got the hang of it.

Walked through a hotel lobby and 

saw possibly the most compact and largest flower arrangement I've seen.

There are some elaborate hotels in this city.

Getting together to for some casual socializing.

Heading to the pool to get in some exercise,

but might as well use our new selfie stick before we go.

A workout in the water leaves this elder out of breath.

Two Idaho guys having a deep conversation about, who knows what.

Gathered at our place for Mango Cake thanks to Sister Mak!

Went to one of Hong Kong's main attractions on P-day:  THE BIG BUDDHA

We've had a few lunches with the other missionaries,
 and it is always delightful, especially with Sister Nora.

Eating with the Chans can be fun too.
We hadn't heard of the Asian Pose until they came.
They are the best at it too.

Two senior missionaries doing what missionaries do.
Sharing a message and offering to help.

Watching the boat races with one of my favorite ladies, Sister Ngai.

Watched one of our favorite movies, The Best Two Years. 

 It was filmed in Holland where Sister Wilson grew up.

During our first temple closing,
we went to another of Hong Kong's most sought after tourist spots:
THE PEAK

Idaho has the best designed license plate, and we saw one while at the Peak in Bubba Gumps.

This one is from one of Idahoa's prettiest areas, Kootenai County.

Strolling through the park in Tsim Sha Tsui after a farewell dinner for Elder and Sister Wilson.

Getting used to carrying an umbrella for protection from the heavy rains

 that we've been warned about.

Walking to the train station after a wonderful day at the temple.
