December 2 - 8

Second week of shutdown:

Monday:  Brother and Sister Choi took us to Dow Temple out in Fanling area.  There were 23 of us.  President Wong and President Hui and wives also joined us.  We had a typical Chinese vegetarian lunch and then wandered the grounds.  Very beautiful.  Also bought some ginger and herbs for cholesterol and liver.

Tuesday we went to Disneyland.  We left early and got there before it opened so we had time to walk through the shops first.  We had a great day.  Started with Space Mt., Buzz Light year 2 times, rocket ships, then off to Fantasy land where we rode the carousel, It's a Small World, Tea Cups, then off to see The Legend of Lion King (this is worth the whole trip), then off to lunch, then Haunted Mansion, Jungle boat trip and off to see Magical Mickey, another good show.  The parade was next and then we headed home.  We ran into the Victors and Castletons several times during the day.

We spent two days at Disneyland.  We went to see the Legend of Lion King three times.  We also saw Magical Mickey.  It was a fun time.  The best part is only cost 100 HKD which is about $13. 

We went to Stanley again to pick up a few more gifts and stopped at New York Fries and picked up a hamburger.

They finally put up the Christmas tree in the lobby.  it is so beautiful and smells wonderful.

 We went back to Nam Lin Gardens and Nunnery.  It is such a beautiful place.  Look at some of these gorgeous rocks.  This is just a few of them.

The entry to our apartment complex.  The poinsettias and everywhere and very beautiful.

 Friday we walked through Kowloon Park.  It is right in the middle of TST and is quite beautiful.  Paul stopped and got me an ice cream.

 We met and had a nice visit with Alex who is here visiting and getting his visa.  He is from the UK.  Told us about the Preston temple.  Dad gave him a pass along card.

 Sunday was a great day.  We had a great Sacrament meeting with Mama Baby and Alma speaking.  I taught the Gospel Doctrine class for Paul because he was busy getting everyone into tithing settlement.  Then I taught my Primary class with Shannon, Gillian and Megan.  I was so proud of Shannon and Ika.  They played all the music for Sacrament meeting.  Shannon has done a great job and the two of them will play for the rest of the month because LingLing will be gone to the Philippines.

Janet provided another great meal for us.

 These are two of the Sisters I Visit Teach.  Delsa,  I have had all year and Karen was just given to me.  Wonderful girls.  I am very blessed.

 Mama Baby gave Paul a tie for his birthday.  Looks great.

 We are looking forward to getting back to the temple.
