Dinner with the Elder and Sister Goo.

Two of the most delightful people we have met in New York are Elder and Sister Goo from Hawaii.







The Goos have invited us and the Coltons (who serve at the UN, public relations for the Church) over for some authentic Chinese food.











Sister Goo is a master chef. Not only did we get to eat delicious Chinese specialties, but she gave us an added cooking lesson!  You cannot believe what and how much she cooks in her tiny kitchen!






What a delightful night! Great food plus great company! We feel a kinship to Elder and Sister Goo. They have been former Mission Presidents and Temple President and Matron in Hong Kong. They now are serving the Lord as MLS missionaries to build up the Chinese Ward in New York's China Town. Good, faithful people.
At the close of the evening, Elder Goo walked us over to the China Town Ward and gave us a tour. No signs can be displayed on the outside of the building. This sign was on the door of the 'chapel'. Touring the little 'chapel' brought back many memories of the 'chapels' we had in Poland. The church is true and striving to grow all over the world!
China Town has all but taken over what used to be 'Little Italy'. We did go past this welcome  sign; however, most of the great Italian restaurants have moved to other parts of the city. Even though Little Italy has almost ceased to exist, their sign is impressive!
