Aprons, Octopus's, and Amazing Friends

Elder Chamberlain did "bar tending" duties at the blender with Elder Powell and Sister Powell. This was at the Mission Presidents' training seminar for all Mission Presidents in Asia. There were six brand new Mission Presidents being trained for their three year stints. What was the drink? Watermelon with a splash of lime. 
Sister Chamberlain with Asia Area Seventies (Church leaders), and Elder Randy Funk of the Asia Area Presidency (on the right). She was the resident expert who helped these gentlemen create their portion of a meal to be eaten by all other general authorities in the room. They had a great time, and some of these guys can really cook!  
New Friend, Nicole, who is a cashier at the grocery store near our office in Wan Chai. She's a very sweet 18-year-old Catholic girl that we see every time we go to the store. She has noticed a lot of wrinkled old missionaries like us coming and going. After having lunch with her, we gave her a Book of Mormon and paused for this picture before she went back to work and we went back to our office down the street. 
Accompanied our dear friend, Diana, to this branch in Tung Chung for a missionary-going-away BBQ. As soon as Diana set foot in the chapel, she started "fellow-shipping" the members there--even though this was the first time she had ever been to a church gathering. She even sought out the most backward of the group and talked to them most of the night, helping them with their problems and making sure they felt accepted and loved. Future Relief Society president. 
BBQ included octopus, fish balls, chicken, pork, and even roasted honeydew melon with garlic. Unusual tastes
