We also got to have interviews with President Lam. That was really cool.
The problem was that it was on a Wednesday. Which just so happened to be the day
that we had a huge rain storm! It got up to black rain so that meant that we had
a few hours that we couldn't go outside. That meant that President Lam was 2
hours late and so was everyone that was supposed to come. So The schedule was
completely messed up. But we had a good time together. Sister Lam showed us
pictures of President Lam when they were newly married and that was funny to
tease him for.
The other big thing that happened was that Elder Stober and I went on
exchanges again. This time it was in the Yuen Long area. We were taking a bus to
someplace when we passed a place called Fairview Garden. Elder Stober
mentioned that he had always wanted to go in there. So we jumped off the bus and
walked in. The little place felt a lot like McMinnville feels. We walked for
a while and ended up next to some guard posts. Elder Stober said that we should
probably just leave but I said we should at least try. So we just walked right
in! We were very surprised. I thought for sure they were going to tell us to
leave. So we walked around inside the fence. It was a HUGE American style
Neighborhood! I have not been inside one of those in forever. I have videos
that help me explain that I will have to share next week. So we walked around
for a long time and we saw a few guards but no one stopped us. Until a car
stated following us so we tried to loose it by walking down some random back
streets and eventually lost him. But as we turned a corner a car pulled up with
flashing lights and we were caught! haha The guy called for backup because he
saw that we were white guys and thought we could not speak Cantonese. SO we
explained that we just walked in and were enjoying the scenery and not really
preaching to any one. Then the head guard showed up and we shook his had and were
very polite and they were to us in return. So we explained that we had thought if
they stop us walking in then we shouldn't come here but they didn't so we
thought it was ok. In the end they escorted us to a bus stop and we were on our
way. They also took our ID numbers and we are now on their black list. I have
never been on a black list before. haha it is kinda fun!
We also started a Korean Class. That is fun. Korean is designed to be
easy and reading at least is way easier than Chinese but I am more comfortable
with the Chinese.
Love you all!

He forgot his camera AGAIN so I googled Fairview Garden in Hong Kong.
These are the pictures I found.
