Today was our final devotional with the staff. Elder Woolsey gave a great message about his wood carving. Following the devotional they asked if we would come up on the stand. I thought they wanted us to talk, but NO they sang a special song and it included the entire staff. When they finished singing Sister Bench had prepared a poem for us and then awarded us with a wonderful scrap book with pictures and comments from the staff and coupoes. And then they asked Shirl and I to talk. What a wonderful gift, we don’t know how to thank them.
Poem by Sister Bench
FAVORITE THINGS OF HONG KONG
(Words by Carol Bench to My Favorite Things)
Black rain on Hennessy,
8 typhoon warnings,
Smells of the wet market,
Teleconference mornings,
Chirping of traffic lights,
Screeching ding dings,
We know that these are your favorite things.
FAVORITE THINGS OF HONG KONG
(Words by Carol Bench to My Favorite Things)
Black rain on Hennessy,
8 typhoon warnings,
Smells of the wet market,
Teleconference mornings,
Chirping of traffic lights,
Screeching ding dings,
We know that these are your favorite things.
Jade market, junk market, Stanley and Soho,
For trinkets and porcelain - shopping you go.
Macau, Big Buddha and views from the Peak,
Sometimes you see all three things in one week.
Early morning hikes
Tsing Ma Bridge lights,
When you're feeling sad,
Just simply remember your favorite things,
And then you won't feel so bad.
