We woke up early in the morning to join the youth continue to do the baptism and confirmation of the Holy Ghost for the second day in the temple. Like yesterday we split into 2 groups. We were in the first group, today it was a little bit rush for all of us because we have to rush for our flights to the airports.
After come out from the temple, we did the housekeeping at the patron house, then we left for Airport with bus. Alvin and I did not talk much today. I know that he is worried about losing his job and what would happened for the next few months to our family.
We arrived at Hong Kong International Airport and wait for our flight to board. All the youth were wondering around the kiosks or the shops at the Airport. We had our brief lunch on AirAsia flight back to Kuala Lumpur.
Once landed all of us feel safe that we were finally home. All the District Youth together with the Leaders snapped group photos. Frankly, it was really tired for this 3 days 2 nights short trip but I know that it is a spiritual temple trip for all the youth.
It is indeed an unforgettable Hong Kong temple trip for me and our family. It is as the Lord have planned this trip long ago for our family: the announcement of changes of ages for the Primary to Young Men/Women since start of the Year 2019, limited use of temple recommend for the Primary to enter to the temple, the sponsorship of the District for the youth for the temple trip, and how the Lord showed me the way for me to reach there, and the so many things that He wants me to know through the whole journey till our family reached the temple.
I remember the moment when Alvin and I have the opportunity to witness both Issac and Annabelle first baptism for my grandparents and we indeed touched when seeing and hearing Issac bore his testimony during the testimony meeting at the small chapel at the temple ground.
I am grateful and thank for both President Vancott and Sister Vancott during Issac and Annabelle losing their ways at TST for taking care the kids and I know both of them were sure worry at the same time as well.. and both of them manage to take Issac and Annabelle back all safely together. I am indeed appreciate for what they have teach, guidance and everything they have done for the youth.
“Dear... I know it’s late night now.. and I know that you are tired and been through a lot today.. I indeed feel grateful for the Lord that Issac did a very a job and he did a very good job to protect his sister and his friend today. He indeed practice whatever the church have teach him. I am really proud of him and I know you feel the same too. I have a lovely and comfort feelings towards our family that Heavenly Father will and will continue blessing your good works in the temple. You will be blessed with a better job after this temple trip, with your dedication to the temple work and your love to our small family. Dear... Thou shall not worry any burden. Leave thy york to thee and He will lift up thy york in the very last day.”
“Dear... I know it might be hard and difficult to you.. we try to learn that today is the blessing of gift for you and our family to grow more humble... more faithful... and align with the spirits ya.”
These were the 2 messages that I texted to Alvin last night before we slept. The thoughts and feelings that I had immediately at the moment when I know what was happening to both children and Alvin was – peace and gratitude. My heart was not troubled. It was just like as He said: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
I am grateful for this planned family temple trip by the Lord, and I gratefully I able to recognize the peace and comfort that I experienced that He gave me.
