Port Call: Hong Kong!!

Jay was just in his very favorite and last port of this deployment, Hong Kong in China. Most of the goodies Jay brings home for us come from this port and there is so much to do and see here. This time around Jay got to take a tour of a Budist Temple.  Most of the photos he sent me are from that tour.

 Jay told me that each one of these statues is hand done and very unique.
 They went to a fish market
 This is a wall of the names of a family's ancestors.  It is in a Ancestrial shrine.




 This is the outside of one of the largets ancestrial shrines in Hong Kong.
One of the neat things Jay got to do this time around was go to the Hong Kong temple and take in a session.  They actually ended up doing inititories for over an hour before they did the session and then some of the members took them out to dinner.  The Branch President gave Jay a tie that has in the Chinese writting a quote by Pres. David O. McKay.  I don't think Jay will forget that experience any time soon.  Next stop for him....HOME!!!!!!!!!
