Hong Kong - 2

I tended these children while their parents were doing their temple work.
They were cute kids and we did good.

I ask if I could take a picture of them in white, they were so sweet!
The baby missed her Mom,
but the older sister could settle her down and did really good.

Batsengel, next to me, and her mother were sealed as a family,
Dad was proxy for her older brother.
Batsengel served a mission in Arizona and was our translator, for this trip.
Their friend, sitting next to Dad, was sealed to her parents,
and Dad was proxy for her brother.
They have both invited us to come to their house for Tsgaan Sar in February.
We did 2 sessions a day, and the Mongolians did 3 and 4 a day!
We both were able to be proxy for some of their family members,
it truly was a choice experience!
We even listened to some of the sessions in Mongolian, and were even able to understand
some of the words, it was fun to hear it.
Double-Decker bus, it was cool to ride in the top!

Munkhtor, 4 years old, he took a liking to Dad and would walk with him,
come up and give him a hug, or just sit by him.

Tree roots, they were huge and above the ground

This is called Dragon Fruit, it was so different, we weren't sure what to expect,
and when we cut it open, were so surprised what was inside -
white fruit with little black seeds!
It tasted like kiwi.
We bought 2 of them and shared them with everyone, they were very good!

Saying good-bye!
Our 10 days were over, we were all exhausted but so grateful and
aware of the Lord's blessings!

At the Airport they had a display set up on the history of Hong Kong
This is a rickshaw used as taxis in the earlier times.
Hong Kong has alot of hills, it would have taken a lot of strength to pull one of these!

We left Hong Kong the 15th.
It was a beautiful trip, one that we never dreamed to be able to make!
We met people from Taiwan, Inner China, Philippines, and a family from India
who all came to the Temple do be sealed and to do Temple work.
Everything we do in the church - everything -
points to the Temple and to Jesus Christ!
The Lord is so aware of us as His children,
He loves us so much and wants us all to come back to Him
We pray for that, too!
We love each of you so very much!!
