Return to SKW / Chai Wan Ward

This past Sunday I went to the Chai Wan Ward and saw many familiar faces. It was a lot of fun. Priesthood opening exercises was quite funny as they playfully made fun of my coming back and that they hoped to not see me again since I’m going to be lawyer. Sum Ka Kit and So Ying Ying are both inactive now so that was disappointing but also not surprising. I took a cool picture with many of the Priesthood leaders I interacted with most. The far left is former Brother, now Bishop Mh. He's a great guy, just very humble and solid (I like that word). To my right is another Brother Mh, who was my correlator the last month or two I was in the area. He took
his calling seriously. We had to be on our toes and prepared because correlation meeting was fast and furious and he didn't take no junk from nobody. To my left is President Lam. He was the Branch President with 5 kids who run
s a translation firm. Being the consumate professional looking for business he hooked me up with his card explaining they translate contracts and other legal documents all the time. Just in case I come back to Hong Kong to practice. He's got seven mouths to feed so I can understand. The next picture is of Lam Hoi Tin and myself. We served together as missionaries and he is a genuinely cool Chinese person. Cool and Chinese don't seem to go together often to me but he pulled it off quite well. The next pic is of myself and Janet Chong. She was a new member when I moved into the area and helped the sister missionaries a lot. She's still going strong and still very nice/helpful. The last picture is of Elder Romney and myself. We walked into the Church building at the same time Sunday and he remembered me from our time together as missionaries in Hong Kong. Mitt's his uncle and he was finishing in internship or something in China.
