This Week

During the past 9 days I did the following

• Finished editing and handed in a 90 page paper
• Planned, prepared and delivered a sharing time to 60 kids (one junior primary, one senior primary)
• Watched my husband get sustained as the 2nd counselor in our bishopric
• Ran 24 miles
• Baked 72 cookies (in batches of 4 because I have a tiny oven)
• Ate delicious enchiladas and had lunch with my wonderful friend Mitra
• Made a double batch of chili
• Got visit taught
• Prepared a 15 slide powerpoint for my other class
• Baked 4 loaves of pumpkin bread
• Went to countless stores trying to get all the supplies for youth conference.  All without a car.
• Prepared and delivered a 90 min. presentation to 4 librarians at HKUST
• Sang "horsey, horsey on your way" to Calvin 20 times.
• Helped prepare and serve (and clean up!) 5 meals to 200 church youth and leaders from all over China
• Taught and impromptu Sunday school to 5 12-year old boys.  

Needless to say.  I am tired and have a headache!  I'm going to spend Monday relaxing and recovering and snuggling with my cute kids.  All this busyness means I didn't get to spend enough time with them.

I wouldn't have been able to get all this done without my amazing friends and family.  My sweet friend Michelle, who is EIGHT months pregnant brought ME a wonderful dinner one night.  As I was scarfing down her delicious food, I couldn't help but think how ironic that was, but I was so grateful!  I love my Hong Kong family.

Tomorrow my cousin and her family are arriving.  We are so excited to see them!  They've been in China for a three month work assignment, and I'm so glad they are making an effort to include Hong Kong in their travels.
