Our 4th Sunday Opening At The Temple!

 Today was another Sunday Opening for the Hong Kong Temple, and our 4th opportunity to be a part of it.  It is a joy to see these beautiful sisters come to receive temple blessings
 and to serve them on the only day of the week they have available to do so.
We timed getting to the temple perfectly because Wilma was waiting, so we had an opportunity to catch a photo together before things got underway.  That doesn't happen very often.
She is one of our favorite sisters in the branch because of her caring way, and she does so much for others.  She is always willing to help either of us with whatever we ask, and does it with a smile.
She magnifies her calling (secretary to the branch president) so well, that our branch wouldn't function near as well without her.

Catherine Concepcion
A remarkable woman who I get to serve in the temple with occasionally.
Might as well take a nap while we wait to get a photo with slow-poke, Sister Bodily.

 Finally!  Now, wake up and smile everyone.

This is only a handful of the many patrons and workers who were in the temple this afternoon.
The many hours of planning and organizing from Sisters Ball, Ngai, Lee and their husbands, the dedicated service of missionaries and special ordinance workers, and the attendance of those faithful women and men serving as proxies in this sacred work,
helped to bring a feeling of the Spirit in the Lord's House.
It has been a marvelous Sabbath Day!
