The Hong Kong Temple opens on Sunday four times a year, and is the only temple to do so. This began just two years ago, when President Wong was inspired to provide a way for those who have no other day in the week to attend the temple, and the temple department approved.
When these special openings occur, a Sacrament Meeting is held at 1:15, just prior to the temple sessions, and takes place in the Kowloon Chapel across the street.
Realizing today was our last time to be a part of something that is so unique, and such a blessing to many of these beautiful and faithful sisters, made me feel a little sad.
It has been one of the highlights of our mission.
Below are a few photos taken afterwards of those who attended.
Elder and Sister Chandler with a sister who received her own endowment today.

(Our first photo in the garden area of the Temple grounds.
Why did we not think of this before? Its a beautiful area.)
Charles and Fanny Chan were set apart this afternoon as Temple Ordinance Workers just moments before the temple doors were opened.
They must be exhausted with it being less than 24 hours since they landed in Hong Kong.
They have tomorrow to rest up, and then their training really begins.
This is going to be fun.

It takes a lot of coordinating to do the Lord's work properly.
Thank you to all those who gave up their Sunday with family to assist in some way.
Thank you to Elder & Sister Ngai and Elder & Sister Hathaway for their efforts and part in assuring the Lord's House was a House of Order, and a place where the Spirit was felt.
