Hongkong Temple

One highlight of our trip was visiting the Hongkong Temple. The temple is situated at 2 Cornwall Street, Kowloon Tong, Hongkong. With this address and a tourist booklet guide, we were to reach Kowloon Tong taking MTR.

When we got there, we started asking about Cornwall and the LDS Temple. It took us thirty minutes to ask and walk, walk and ask but all the people we asked could not understand English except the last one. A friendly Chinese woman, however, she’s not familiar with the places because she’s only exposed to home, school, and church destinations.

We opted to… taking a cab. We showed the address to the driver and it took us five minutes to the temple. We thanked the cab driver and we rushed to the temple. We were in a hurry to catch the nine o’clock session.

The workers in the temple were so friendly to us. They assisted us until the time we finished the session and were about the go home.

I could surely attest the truthfulness of Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians in Eph. 2:19, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.” Even if we were experiencing a language barrier, still, everybody inside the temple was warm and nice to us.

Another thing is that the Lord never leaves us especially when we are in His errand. Just when we thought we couldn’t make it to the nine o’clock session, He sent us the cab that led us the temple. It’s so hard to imagine how difficult it would be without His divine intervention. And even if we stray, He would always find ways to redirect us to where we should be.

At times, I would feel I am His favorite. ;)
