Some of my friends from Manila. We went to the Hong Kong Temple Friday night.

Last week I went to Hong Kong for the Asian Women's Conference and Grant went to Davao. We have a clinic in Davao and Grant went down there to see if he could be utilized better down there. They have a nice clinic down there and although it is in the Muslim area it is a pretty safe city. But by the time he got his license there our time would be pretty much over, plus we would have to move and get settled there. But he was happy to see what is happening down there. I had a great time at the women's conference. There were seven of us that went over from Manila. There were probably about 200 women in attendance for the conference. We had a service project and great speakers too. I loved being in Hong Kong again. We arrived on wednesday walked along Nathan Road, went to the Peninsula Hotel for high tea and watched the laser show from the Kaloon side that night. We stayed up late playing games and the next day took the bus out to Stanley Market. My favorite place to shop. It was lots of fun because we had no husbands that made us leave when we didn't want too. The Conference started Thursday at 5 pm with a service project and then speakers at 7. We again stayed up late that night playing games. Friday we had speakers, lunch and breakout sessions where you could choose your class. We went out to the Hong Kong that evening and then back to the hotel. That night we did not play games because Robyn was not feeling well. Early the next morning we were very concerned about her and got some of the Church members over there involved. A doctor who works for the Embassy and another priesthood holder came and gave her a blessing and quickly admitted her to the hospital. She had to stay there for several days. One of us stayed back with her and they just got home wednesday. They think she has dengay fever. It is kind of scary because she is the 3rd person I have known that got it recently in Manila.

Grant and I both got back about the same time on Saturday night. The next day we went with some of the senior missionaries to the District Conference in Ballywag. Grant and two of the missionaries sang at the conference. They sounded great.
