We had another great reunion with dear friends - this
time in Hong Kong. Curt and Lina, our
gracious hosts, opened up their place and Lina fixed a delicious meal. Dwellings in Hong Kong are small due to the
high population, relatively small amount of land available, and the high
housing prices. Curt and Lina’s home is
actually in a hotel which rents the upper floors as longer term living places. It includes a small kitchen and two small bedrooms. They have two short bunk beds in their “guest”
bedroom because there isn’t enough room for regular sized beds. They still house many guests who are don’t
mind a little bit of cramped quarters.
They had a friend on the same floor whose family was away and so we were
able to stay with him. He gave us the “master”
bedroom so we had a great place to stay for four days. They even had washing machines downstairs so
we were able to catch up on our laundry which is a big thing when one is on the
road for three months. There were ten of
us (including Ping’s niece whom we didn’t know) at the reunion but we wished we
had more. So, we invited a couple of
people to be with us virtually. Glen had
helped us put much of our China trip together so he joined us via Skype. A little later we were talking about Brian
& Wee so they joined us for a while as well. Our time of fellowship and prayer was
sweet. Yet we look forward to the day in
which there will be no more parting in the presence of our King. Until then the journey continues.
