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.
