Teaching in China: First Full Week in Hong Kong

Our first full week in Hong Kong. Highlights of the week:

Friday lunch. Having lunch with Elder and Sister Gerrit W. Gong, Elder and Sister Chi Hong (Sam)Wong, and Sister Funk (Elder Randy D. Funk was away on assignment). These are very wonderful general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their gracious wives who invited us to lunch at the Wong home. They are so very involved in everything happening in Asia. To take the time to have lunch with us was an incredible honor for us.
Projects. One project was our "Candy-bar wrapper" project. We were given the assignment to design and create candy bar wrappers with uplifting messages so that the candy bars could be given to members of the church in Nepal. We are now just getting started on our main roles in Hong Kong, which are to create and implement a social media plan for Asia, to create a more useful Public Affairs training website site for Asia, to ensure Mormon Newsroom has great content, and to work with local Hong Kong public affairs council for HK Public Affairs issues.
Drummers. Some professional Japanese drummers performed at the Star Ferry pier. Chuck and Elder MacBeth were asked to come forward and do some drumming. It was amazing.
Black and White. McDonalds has a promotion with two kinds of hamburgers--one all black with white sesame seeds, and one all white with black sesame seeds. They have hamburger or chicken, bacon, and mashed potatoes all in the bun. The black buns are made with squid ink. It was delicious.
Walking. We walked about 1.3 miles to the ferry every morning and walked back nearly every evening until Chuck got a blister. We love taking the ferry ride across the harbor to our offices.
