Paul and Mar Jean Lewis: December 16

Monday Paul got up early 5 am and took off for the chiropractor, Dr. Lee, to have his neck worked on. From there he went to WanChai to drop off the Branch funds and clear up some membership problems. Then off to Kwai Fang to the Church and stop by and got a hair cut. After all that I met him in WanChai and we hopped on the bus for Stanley. It was a little wet and cold. 14 degrees today, the lowest in some time.

I slept in until 7:15 and then after the maintenance people came up to fix a noisy door Sister Hoskins and I walked over to Aeon to get some groceries.

We actually went to Stanley to help celebrate Riley (7) and Josh (10) and Paul (70) birthday. Kelly and Kory and family were getting together at Kory's for ice cream cake and we didn't want to be left out. We stopped at New York Fries and then McDonalds and enjoyed our lunch.

This morning I looked out the window about 7 am and saw the moon. It was so beautiful.

Friday morning Elder Hoskins had his first physical therapy session. Paul brought a wheel chair to him and then Jackie and I went to the hospital in the cab. They were very good to him and someone got us a wheelchair and took him all the way up to the floor he needed to be at. They worked him hard but he was able to do everything they asked. An hour and half later we were on our way out.

Elder and Sister Hathaway took off Saturday for a cruise thru Asia and then home to Northern CA. We were working Friday night at the temple but the rest of the group wen to dinner at Outback to say goodbye.

Saturday we were privileged to speak in the Everyday Branch in WanChai. We got there early because I wanted to stop at the nut stand and good thing we did because they were starting Sacrament meeting early (half and hour) and we might have missed it. We felt like the Holy Ghost really helped us and felt good about our talks on the temple and being disciples of Jesus Christ. We decided we make a good team.

The Branch was having a Christmas party after the Block and they put together this manger made out of newspapers. It looked so great. After our speaking we headed off to Mon Kok for the wedding reception of President & Sister Yuen's son and Sisster and Brother Poon's daughter. Our first Chinese wedding reception.

Sunday in Kwai Fong we had our Christmas program. Each organization did a song and had someone seak. Of course, the Primary children were the sweetest. President & Sister Collins are in Scotland for three weeks. We miss them.

	Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013

It was a wonderful week in the temple. We had 42 members from Thailand come and spend the week. They are such wonderful people. We had five own endowment sisters and two brothers and they came to the temle and did at least four ordinances a day. They kept us very busy along with a few members from the Mainland.

We are getting ready for Christmas and sent out our Christmas letter. Here are the pictures I included.
