Paul and Mar Jean Lewis: May 27

Monday we went back to the Sham Shui Po street market to see if we could find the India shop where I got a couple of lounge dresses, cover-ups. The girls thought they would be good for the pool. We went able to find it again, not an easy job. We came back and Paul took a nap and I went grocery shopping with my trusty cart, which he wouldn't be caught dead using. It sure saves on carrying things home from the market.

That evening we had a great FHE at the Hathaways. We had pizza and soda then had a great lesson on Psalms 23.

When we doubt there is a God The Lord
When we feel self reliant is my shepherd
When we are needy I shall not want
When we are weary He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
When we worry He leadeth me beside still waters
When we are hopeless He restoreth my soul
When we are burdened with guilt he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
When we become arrogant For His names sake
When e feel grief yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death
When we are fearful I will feel no evil
When we are lonely For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me
When we feel shame Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
Mine enemies
When we are disappointed Thou anointest my head with oil
When we are envious of others My cup runneth over
When we are full of doubt Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life
When we are homesick and miss those and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
who have gone on before us

We ended with Dryers ice cream. Yum Yum

This week in the temple we had a couple of young people coming to the temple to receive their endowment before their missions. They came from Singapore and were going to Oakland and Santa Rosa CA. We also had a group from mainland.

On Wednesday we met this group and were able to attend a baptism of a young couple from mainland. Their auntie had encouraged them to come to church. The first time he said "it was boring, three hours, and I didn't understand anything they were talking about." She encouraged him to come back. He was having trouble with his business and she encouraged him to pray. He did. Things improved, his wife could see a change in him. He wanted to know more. They came to HK for their last lessons and to be baptized. What a special opportunity this was for us.

Friday we went to the temple all morning to work on our ODA (other day assignment) which was working on the training book and bringing it up to date. After doing all we could there we went to Wan Chai where we were hoping to have lunch at Dumpling Pro but they are closed for two weeks so instead we settled for Subway.

Saturday as we came out of the temple their was a wedding party taking pictures. It was Brother Chung and his daughter had just been sealed.

Sunday was fast Sunday and we attended the Tai Wo Ward with Elder & Sister Chan. We saw many of our friends from the temple. It is always so great to visit these Chinese wards and spend time with the many people we see come to the temple.

Paul bore his testimony along with Elder Chan. They had a new convert confirmation. We left after Sacrament meeting and headed for our Branch meeting. President Collins is in Scotland sending his son off to the MTC. He will be back next week. Today we had FHE with a message about forgiveness from Elder Watkins and then pot luck dinner. It was very good.
