We attended the Saturday evening session of District Conference with
E/S Rancie, E/S Lee, and E/S Chan,
which was a great meeting with beautiful music and good counsel to heed.
It put a smile on my face to see Sister Pack singing in the choir, because she was the only blonde woman in a sea of dark-haired Filipino women, and considerably taller than the rest.
We agreed to have dinner together afterwards, but as to where, we hadn't a clue.
So, one of the Asia Area missionaries suggested a short walk away to Thai Chilis.
None of us had been there before, so it sounded like a good idea.
As we proceeded down Lockhart Street,
we wondered if she and her husband had been to this place at night.
We discovered it wasn't exactly the nicest street in Wan Chai.
But, once inside, the atmosphere was much more appealing.
The food was good, and the company was even better.
Lots of laughs were shared throughout the evening.
Pineapple Rice is one of my favorite Thai dishes.
When it was time to leave, we thought it best not to dally, but to hurry quickly past the bar crowds and the 'ladies of the evening' as we headed back to catch the train.
We must have stuck out like sore thumbs!
It was a treat to be able to attend a church service the next morning
with the other temple missionaries for a change.
We were spiritually fed during the Sunday morning session.
Wonderful talks were given from outstanding youth and young adults in the Hong Kong District.
Our sweet Wilma Galcon from our branch spoke as well, and gave a wonderful and heart-felt talk.
Enjoyed hearing from President and Sister Lam,
and learning a little about our new mission president and his wife.
President Tai (pronounced Dye) is a good leader for this district, as well as a good speaker.
He spoke of the importance of making changes in our lives.
Repentance is a good word for that.
Its hard to believe we have been here long enough to be attending our 2nd District Conference.
Great blessings have happened to us since the last District Conference, of which we are grateful.
