Another Week

Hi Everybody,  We hope you have had a great week.  For our family home evening this week, we went with many of the senior couples to a 360- degree revolving restaurant located on the 62nd floor in Wan Chai's Hopewell center.  It is also not far from our office building so we were able to walk there.  It advertises many delicacies,"from live shrimp and seasonal specialities at the seafood counter and Cantonese barbecued meats, to tempura, teppanyaki, and Indian curries."  It was really good, especially the Indian curry, I thought, and the view was amazing.  You might enjoy scrolling through the next photos to see some of the views we had as we rotated around.

This fruit is called Rambutan. It really is tasty, too. You can read about this fruit and other weird fruits, many of which are sold here, especially in the wet market.

Here we are at our Friday night meal at the New York Diner or something like that.  The owner had lived in Australia but then returned to live in Hong Kong and he spoke pretty good English. He brought out his grandchildren and introduced them to us.  We talked to him a little bit about the church and gave him a Chinese pass-a-long card, too.

  

                                                                                       

Here are our friends, Elder and Sister Oveson who are serving in Cambodia.  Elder Oveson was thought to have a detached retina so they needed to come here for some more medical tests. Fortunately, he is fine and after his medical exam, a quick tour of the office building, and lunch, they were soon on their way back.

Here are some of the dear Filipina sisters and they are always wanting to take photos with us so we took one, too.  We do love them all dearly!

Here are two really sweet sisters, Sister Nettles from California, and Sister Alipao from the Philippines.  Sister Alipao is just finishing her mission and will be returning home.  We worked with her to finish a self-reliance course so that she will be eligible for a PEF loan to continue in her schooling when she returns. After studying the course, she has decided that she will probably be able to work out her finances on her own and not need the loan, though, which is even better.

We especially want to wish all of you wonderful fathers a very happy, relaxed, enjoyable and great Father's Day!  Here's a cute link below that you might want to click on and see, too.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

We love Dads!
