Hong Kong District Conference and BYU Devotional


We stayed in Wan Chai after the District Conference to attend the BYU Devotional.

Shook hands with President Randy Funk and President Sam Wong

A Brother Ringer and his wife, Amy spoke first.
  Brother Ringer is the director of the Kennedy Center of BYU.
Savior Redeemer of My Soul was sung by the International Full-time missionaries.  It was powerful!
Then Sister Peggy Worthen, the wife of BYU's president spoke.  She bore testimony that our Heavenly Father is aware of us, of our sacrifices, and our services.
She had an angel - Brother Larsen.  He would say, 'let me hold your baby.  Sister Worthen, this will be worth it'!  That very moment changed her whole perspective, and she went to church from then on.  She knew Heavenly Father was aware of her.
President Kevin Worthen said that none of us are in Hong Kong by accident.  We each have something important to do.  We have to build the Kingdom of God wherever we are.


Sure glad we stayed, and of course, we took a few photos afterwards.
Brother and Sister Ho attend the temple regularly.  In fact, Bro. Ho serves as an ordinance worker.
He is a great guy, and a generous one too.  He often asks Elder Bodily for assistance.
Brother and Sister Ho with their daughter, Ashley.
She is such a talented young woman.  She designed the logo for the Youth Conference that was held at the beginning of May.  She also designs some of the ties for her father's business.
She is a beautiful artist, and hopes to go to school in New York or BYU.  She will soon be going to Finland for an internship.
Standing on the same stair landing we did 3 months ago with all the other temple and Asia Area Missionaries.  Much more elbow room this time.
