Fun meeting with different members
We continue to visit different wards each Sunday. We are into the 5th Stakes and we love visiting with different ward member each week; Here are some from the last couple week:
This is Brother David Cheung. His father passed away recently and my brother David asked that we attend the funeral on behalf of him. Came to find out, Brother Cheung recognized us. He used to be a missionary in Seattle and spent time in the Asian branch when Ted was the executive secretary to President SM Richardson. Brother Cheung remember President Richardson and said he remember us living in Kent and had been to our house in Kent!! Brother Cheung is a father of 9! now working for the church in Salt Lake.
I was so impressed with his father, the bishop shared a story about Brother Cheung senior and how he is a faithful member. The senior Cheung came from a broken home and was raised by his aunt. He would worked and saved and pay his aunt half of what he made. He became a sailor and was introduced to the gospel. He realized he needs to improve himself by getting an education. Then while raising his family, he again worked as a sailor. Once he found out his wife was not paying tithing, he asked his wife to always pay a full tithes first before anything else. He knew and trusted that God would provide. On one of his trip out to sea, the ship was trapped in a storm/typhoon where the engine had broken down. Brother Cheung was a class III sailor (class I was the highest) There was no way to repair in time to escape the storm. The whole crew were prepared to die at sea. Brother Cheung senior felt impressed he had a solution; he was just studying a couple weeks prior in a book, and the problem was the same problem they encountered. The crew was elated but they were disappointed because they did not have the part to make the repair. Then Brother Cheung felt impressed to look into a small sack where the part he needed was located. He was able to repair the ship in time to escape the storm. He was rewarded by the company and was offered a Class I sailor job instead. This is his testimony of the blessing that came from obeying the Law of Tithing.
Sister Loong: (Sister Wong)
We visited Butterfly and Castle Bay ward today and found we know a lot of people in these two wards. I met my missionary, Sister Loong (Wong) again. After the meeting she invited us to visit her home. We were glad to be able to talk with her and reminisce the good old day. She thanks us for being such golden investigators and I thank her for her service to our family. There was this little old lady (Sister Lam) who got up and shared her thought. She is an older lady who joined the church back in 1983. She reminded me so much of my mother, so humble and sincere at her testimony. She is so sweet and real! Her testimony is simple but very sincere. I just loved her!
Sister Loong has two sons who are both active; older son is the first counselor in the Castle Bay ward and second son is studying at U of H getting his doctorate this August. She is now the grandmother of three boys and three girls. Unfortunately, her husband is less active. She shared her struggles and she is still very faithful and strong in the gospel! We hope to visit with her later.
We visited Kwan Chung ward and after the block, I could not find Ted. Came to find out he has a very lively discussion in the High Priest group. They all want to take a picture. The gentlemen next to me looked like my brother David and the gentlemen next to Ted is very interesting. He is very active in politic and belongs to some party in China. He said the Chinese government is always keeping an eye out at our church. He believes there are spy from the government in the church but it is okay, because they know and trust our church is trustworthy... he feels the China government wants to run our church in China but they need to learn that our church does not run that way!! That's the reason why the congregation in China are no bigger then 50 ..
This is a beautiful sunset we encounter one evening coming back from the office. I still remember how much we are in awe with the scenery and the night light, now they are just part of our daily coming and going. It was great to see such a awesome view!
