Cheerio from China!

Sunday was a full day. We went to Evangelical Community Church of Hong Kong for Church. It reminded me exactly of Kirkwood Road Christian Church (my parents home church) so I felt right at home. Minus everyone leading the service was asian. But they spoke English so it allowed for us to follow along. After Church we went to the Hong Kong Space museum. It was awesome and also great to see how much The US dominated in space travel. (U-S-A! haha) I got to go on a machine that simulated the gravity on the moon. So I obviously had to take advantage of the occasion and Moonwalk just like MJ. There are photos and a video I can show ya later. After the Museum we went back and picked up some baked goods. (Their bakeries are fantastic!) Then hit up the market and got dinner for 3 bucks.

Monday we set off for the Botanical Gardens and Zoo of Hong Kong on Hong Kong Island(the financial district). It was beautiful and they had plenty of monkeys and two very frisky turtles (yes we watched two turtles get in on). After that we took another stab at going to Victorias peak. This time we succeeded and I am so glad we did.

At the bus stop we met a group who worked with the St. Stevens society. What happened was a girl in out group from California saw this guy out of the crowd who she knew from her school. Small world, right? For the rest of the day our groups bonded. The group was 5 people 2 guys from California, a guy from the Phillipines, a girl from Australia, and a guy and a girl from the UK (hence the title of the blog post). The group was there with St. Stevens society. What they do is they work with drug addicts and pray over them to help them recover from their addiction and then plant them in a trade so they can work their way back in society as a “brother.” The philipino guy is a brother who is now helping in the program. It was so encouraging talking with them and hanging out all day. We compared our american society to Australia and the UK all day as well as mocking each others accents and way of calling objects. The girl from Australia called candy Lollies....so funny. We all took the bus up to the mountain and spent two hours talking about life and observing the beautiful skyline of all of Hong Kong. After leaving the group prayed for us and we were on our way.

Thanks always for reading. I will post pictures on Facebook. It is my last day in Hong Kong (Tuesday) so we are just relaxing and getting ready for the plane ride ahead of us to Xiamen on Wednesday morning. I will not have Facebook so I set up a Flickr account fro you to look at Pictures on.



I am not really sure how Flickr works but do a google search of Arbitrary photos Flickr and it should pop up.
