1. Celebrating my last national holiday in Hong Kong. During this holiday family members go to bring flowers to their ancestor's graves.
2. Though sports are not a major emphasis at Pooi To besides basic P.E. it was fun to get a lunchbox (getting fast-food) and cheer on the girls in the volleyball tournament between all the classes (about 50 classes).
3. At the church, each member is assigned a membership number when they join the church since its beginning in 1938. On Saturday, I had the honor to attend the funeral of the first church member (#001) who helped found the church. If anyone is interested in learning more about a Hong Kong funeral just e-mail me.
4. As much as I enjoy Asian food I have missed Western food, but I had my fill this week with first eating out at a Mexican restaurant and then an American restaurant. A great taste of home! Thank you to those who made it possible – you know who you are.
5. On Friday our mentor took Emily and I to the largest bookstore in Hong Kong, which was on the 8th floor of an office building. It gave me a chance to read a few commentaries (in English) for my Sunday school lesson. Plus, we also visited the Hong Kong Baptist Convention.
Prayer Requests:
1. Thank you for those who have been praying for the establishment of the new culture class! It is now underway with a large response from the students but with some administrative issues. This Thursday is our first week club meeting please pray that these lessons will be clear and it will open up the opportunity to build new relationships.

Student response is a good start, Margaret. May the administrative issues work out as well. Blessings. -- Terry
