We had such a fulfilling time at the MTC, we were reluctant to leave, but the prospect of serving in Hong Kong was exciting. We had a wonderful time visiting with Shafique & Pam Janmohamed, who took us to the SLC airport on Saturday, Sept 25th for our departure.
In LA, Craig's sister Jamie and her sweet daughter Gentry met us at baggage claim. If it hadn't been for their willingness to help us lug our bags, and those of the Ellingsons (a senior couple from Canada going to Cambodia via our same flight to Taipei) we wouldn't have been able to make it! What a blessing in disguise to have their cheerful help and warm send-off.
After the 13 1/2 hour flight from LA to Taipei, Taiwan, we boarded a 747 to Hong Kong, which only took 1 1/2 hours. There we were met by the couple we're replacing, Elder and Sister Arnold from Draper. We got right to work and made quite a bit of progress before jet lag got to us. It's great to be here!
I enjoy reading in detail about your adventures. Just thought you should know someone is reading them!
ReplyDeleteYour description of lugging your baggage reminded me of my deployments--except that yours is in God's army.

Holy moly, G-Rose is an ADULT! I saw the photo, read the caption, but refused to believe that was her until I clicked on the larger photo.
