Hong Kong Senior Missionary Conference

Up early to get ready for the Senior Missionary Conference. We left at 7am, and everyone was in place and the set up went well. We began at 9am. Dew had to conduct and he did just fine, but he gets very nervous. The sisters sang, and miracle of miracles, we made it through without muffing it too badly. Now we are wondering what we will do with our time since we have nothing more to practice for.

The speakers were all very good, and things went smoothly. We had a group picture taken, and then had lunch. The Aki’s and Woolsey’s did a great job with lunch. Then we all quickly left to get on the bus to go to Kom Tong Hall. We left all the plants in the kitchen to be put away later.

We had a bus take us to Kom Tong Hall and Stanley Wan showed us around. He gets really excited showing it off, he grew up there. He explained how the church had used the rooms.
Then about half of us jumped on the bus again and went to the peak. We all walked out to where the date is carved in the rock from the day Matthew Cowley dedicated China. It was the first time some of the temple missionaries had been there, so we went up top with the Pierces. Then headed for Burger King. Most of us weren’t hungry, just thirsty and tired, so it was drinks and fries for most of us. We left to help the Pierces find their way back down to the MTR and a few couples stayed to watch the sun set from the peak.

We ran back to the office to double check things, and then home to die. We got home at 7pm, one long day.

One funny thing - when the Woolsey’s went back to the office to put the plants away, they found one of the branches there, with our plants on their tables as decorations. She had to nicely tell them "sorry, I have to put these away". And they probably thought we were so nice to leave them!
