Hong Kong Blessing Site and Our New Missionary

On a trip to Hong Kong last month we decided to find the spot where the land of Hong Kong had been blessed for the preaching of the gospel.  We had read about it and had directions to the spot where the date, July 14, 1949, was etched into a rock. The blessing was given in front of this waterfall on Victoria Peak.

The hard part was finding the engraved rock which was about 75 yards past the waterfall.

If you look closely, you can see three squares with the numbers 7 14 49 etched inside.  The Apostle Matthew Cowley gave the blessing on that date.

The next day we got exciting news from our new missionary, Theary Chan.  We met Theary in Siem Reap, Cambodia.  We happened to stop at a shop in which she was working in the Street Market. The shop was financed by the mission president and was filled with homemade objects made by needy LDS members. She was working to save enough money to serve a mission. After hearing her story, we met with our travel group and took care of the finances needed. She was then able to complete her mission paperwork.

Here is Theary with her mission call to the England Manchester Mission. She reports on July 27. We are excited to be a part of this sweet girl's life and look forward to her emails.
