Sunday March 13th
I woke up this morning and it was really polluted outside. I spent about 75 mins on Skype with Grandma Davis. Gary and Pam brought her to their home so we could Skype. Grandma was pretty impressed with the technology.
Today was F & T meeting and we had some very powerfully testimonies given, it was a great meeting. Last Wed - Fri was the SE Asia Women's Conference in HK. One of the Sisters in the branch that attended the conference got up and told a story about how she had been a missionary 20 yrs ago in HK and had baptized a lady. She wanted to find her and meet up at the Conference, so she sent a friend in HK a yellow sticky note with just the ladies name and 20 yr old address + her email address in BJ. After about 2 weeks the yellow sticky note found its way to the lady in HK. She sent an email back that said, I don't know who you are or why you are looking for me - but might you be the Sister that taught me the Gosple?" So of all the possiblilies of who could be trying to contact her - she thought it might be her missionary. So when Sister Barton was in HK for the conference she was able to meet up with the women she taught and baptized 20 yrs ago. This ladies son is now on a mission - his mom had him write an email to Sister Barton from the mission field thanking her for teaching their family. This lady has brought 7 members of her family into the Church and has another son preparing to go on a mission. They got to attend the HK Temple together. Sister Barton said every family member constantly thanked her bringing the Gospel into their lives.
After church it was very windy and all the pollution was gone, so I walked home -it was sunny and warm, a bit windy. I changed and went for a really long exploration of the neighborhood. Found an April Gourmet store about 5 mins from the house. They have a nice selection of fresh meat and reasonable prices, $4.50 for a Duncan Hines cake mix. Also found the WuMart - I guess that is a knock off on Wal Mart - its a big store with lots of good stuff - much closer than the real Wal Mart. Also found one of the other apartment building I was shown when here house hunting. They teach fencing in their gym + they have a climbing wall. But i think it was for residents only.
See ya later
