Today was amazing! We just got back to the hotel and everyone is exhausted and literally dragging themselves up to their rooms. The day started off with our expensive gourmet breakfast full of all kinds of meats, fruits, breakfast foods and even mini donuts. We loaded the buses at 9:45 but only half of us were there because the other half had left earlier with the Wheelwright’s.
Our first stop was an elementary school for special needs children. The children’s spirits were so sweet and they were so willing to learn “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” as we individually taught them. Their smiles and high fives touched our hearts and it was an experience that none of us will probably ever forget.
Next we went to an all-girls school. It was a catholic school called Good Hope. The little girls were so cute and there were probably over 1000 of them. We were able to sing to them and take pictures with them. They were very responsive and they laughed a bunch when we did “Barber of Seville.”
After, we went to the [China Hong Kong] Temple. It was absolutely beautiful, especially the baptismal font. The ordinances went well and after we met at the stake center/2nd floor of the temple to eat dinner. [Temple] President Goo’s wife and some other BYUH alumni prepared delicious food that included chicken curry, char-su and orange rolls! Yumm!
Finally, we drove up to The Peak, this amazing lookout place high on the mountain. It was super rainy so some people went shopping in the mall while other people ran though the rain to see the amazing view of all the city lights and skyscrapers. As we were driving home, the lightning danced upon the mountains through the smog that covered the valley, it was super cool!
Today was a great day!
