This was our last Statutory Holiday to be responsible for the coordinating at the temple.
This assignment has proved to be our most time consuming responsibility.
We owe a lot of gratitude to the senior missionaries in the Asia Area Office who put in extra time to help with these holidays. However, we are especially thankful to the local temple workers and their willingness to serve in the temple on what is suppose to be their day off.
We admire them for making sacrifices to serve. They truly care about the people who come, and assisting them in the Lord's work.
We love this work, but it makes for a tiring day (a good kind of tired), and the need for a nap and dinner out.
Elder Bodily is being watched while checking on possible dining options.
A cleaning cart is commonly found on the walkways.
You won't find street sweepers used here. The streets and walkways are all cleaned by manual labor.
Guess who we saw in the lobby on our way back.
Normans and Chamberlains
It seemed like a good time to get a photo of the three missionary companions and their spouses.
Elders Norman, Chan, and Chamberlain were companions as young missionaries in the Hong Kong Mission back in the 70s. Sister Fanny Chan was also a missionary, but not one of their companions, of course. She and Elder Charles Chan eventually became eternal companions.
Went to dinner after quickly freshening up.
Decided to give the Outback in Whampoa another try.
Glad we did. The location has changed along with the service. No complaints with the food either.
Its been a great day, and appreciated the help of our Area Missionaries with the Statutory Holiday.
