Perfect Life!

Isn't this club great and it's only a couple of blocks away from the office.  I think we all need to get a lifetime membership, don't you?

We hope you all had a Happy Halloween.  The only costumed people we saw were Elder and Sister Thong, although we saw costumes for sale. We hear that Halloween is big here but we must not have known where to look. 




Here's Elder Chandler all ready to go to the grocery store. Does that count for a costume?  (ha ha!) 

Here was tonight's self-reliance class.  The sisters tell us some great stories about their lives and their plans.  They are changing many things in their lives because of the things they are learning in self-reliance.  One of the sisters, Gloria, has decided to finally go home to the Philippines after being abroad for 24 years working as a domestic helper.  She has been with her current employer for 16 years and has raised the employers' children.  Unfortunately, Gloria had to leave her own daughter when the daughter was 2 years old and her daughter is now 22.  Gloria feels bad that she wasn't able to be home to raise her children but she has been somewhat fortunate that her son served a mission and her daughter was married in the temple.  Unfortunately, during this time abroad, Gloria lost her husband, though. 

Here's more of our favorite sisters; this time they are mostly sisters from our Sunday "Education for Better Work self-reliance class.

So you can see that there wasn't a whole lot of photos that we took this week but maybe we'll have more next week.
Here's a few links that you might enjoy reading and seeing more about Hong Kong, etc:

Interesting things about Hong Kong

Dipal Barau

If you saw the link above then you will recognize Brother Dipal Barua and his sweet wife standing in front of the Hong Kong temple.  They were just married this week there, too. We saw him again attending the temple when we were helping there in the temple on Tuesday. He and his sweet bride know the right way to start their nearly "Perfect Life".  If you want to see more about him you can go to facebook and search for Dipal Barua.

We wish you the very best in all that you do, too!
