Our Weekend

It's been a fun weekend. We woke up early Sat. morning. While Johnny went to pick up the King Cake, I got Jady ready for our trip to Marlyand.

We arrived at the Dim Sum restaurant around 11:30am, and the kids loved the food there. We were also lucky to watch the once a year Lion Dance. Jady was especially thrilled with these interesting animals jumping in the air for red pockets and food (the lettuce). We then dropped off the kids at a nearby Stake Center and headed to the DC Temple.

It was a special session because we did the work on behalf of my grandma Leung and grandpa Lai. It's always special to do work for the loved ones, and comforting to know that my grandparents are ready to receive the gospel. :) I am just so grateful to be a member of the church, and have a priesthood holder in the family. I have been a little concern about the us economy, the raising unemployment rate, and the many rippling effects that follows. There are a few members in our ward dealing with the unemployment situation, and two of them had been laid off for at least eight months. Things tend to get more complicated in this uncertain period of time. How grateful I am to have gospel in my life, and to know that there is hope therein. How blessed we are to have temples on earth which we can experience the joy and peace, and feelings of Heaven. The world we live in is beautiful, and I can't imagine how amazingly gorgeous it is on the other side.

We went grocery shopping afterwards and joined the Cheungs for dinner at the Chinese Branch in Maryland. We had a great time, and didn't come home until some time after 11:30pm.
