Hong Kong

Hong Kong has been so much fun! We've walked all over this city. We've been up Victoria Peak, we've sampled the local foods, we rode around a sampan in Aberdeen Fishing Village, and we've been to the Hong Kong Temple!

I loved the temple by the way. Did you know that the Chinese are super-superstitious when it comes to numbers? For example, #4 represents death, so you don't want to see it anywhere. In the temple, the elevator doesn't go to the fourth floor. Isn't that cool? The Church stays true to the culture of the temple and how fitting! The temple represents eternal life! Death has no grip in the temple! We are loving it here. Our train to the mainland leaves around 5:00pm our time. We should get to Fuqing late tonight. We get to spend Sunday resting up, too. I've been made the group leader by the Branch President and we get to teleconference the church meeting! That should be interesting.

Longest Day Ever

Well, it's around 6:30am (2:30pm Arizona Time) here in Seoul, South Korea. We landed about a half hour ago and my stomach is still churning from our 12 hour flight. The descent took like two hours through a storm.

I had time to watch three movies on the plane. I also enjoyed the mystery meat dinner and eggs with tomato paste for breakfast. Kristi tried to sleep, but ended up watching a bunch of movies herself. All is well except for the fact that I seem to have misplaced my IPOD. That sucks hardcore, but at least I didn't lose anything really important. I'm still hoping I just can't see it in my bag.

We're tired, but happy to be on our way! We'll talk to you soon! Remember we are here for another 4 hours before we hop on another plane to Hong Kong. Ahh! The longest day ever.

More videos coming soon.

Packing for China!

Are we leaving? Has the time really come? Are we ready to go? You be the judge. We are going to miss you all so much. Thanks again to mom and dad for the surprise trip out here.
