It is a privilege to have a temple nearby--sometimes we forget that this temple
is in China, a place that just a few years ago was hostile towards outside
religions. Not only does this temple serve the people of Hong Kong, but much
of Asia, as well. Groups of Latter-day Saints from Mongolia, India, Singapore,
Cambodia, Malaysia, and other countries travel long hours for the opportunity
to attend the Hong Kong temple.
This temple is special to us because it is where Craig was sealed to his parents
in a sacred ordinance last year about this same time. Craig actually lived on this
spot back in 1975 when the mission home was here.
The ten missionary couples here, along with the Asia area presidency, meet
 once a month for a session, then a testimony meeting afterwards in a
chapel on the ground floor. Our first time joining in was yesterday, and it
was an exceptional experience, where we felt privileged to be able to
participate. To conclude the event, pizza was delivered back at the
office, and as you can guess, in Hong Kong that's quite a treat.
