We go to a show about once a week. They still use the Rickshaws here to carry people, but there are many cars. In fact, most peopl use the cars. I've only ridden in a Rickshaw once. Here they have an outlook point on the highest hill by the city. There's a tram you ride up. It's really different. There's a ferry system that takes Branch, us to the other side to Kowloon. That's where most of the people live for over there It's much flat-er flat-er where here in Hong Kong there C1t ads tig WATQflFILfL K AN0!llZ!lH J KENTUCKY BOURBON Vi rivw LB (5 " V A I Sw s.nce1810 s.au '56 WATEKFILl AND HAZIU DISTILLERY COMPANY, BARDSTOWN, KENTUCKY HONG KONG April 24, 1957 Dearest Folks and All; Here is the first letter I have ever typed. I have never liked typing typ-ing letters, but seeing as I have looked it over pretty close I thought it was time I should tell all of you something about this place called Hong Kong. Hong Kong itself is just an island. It's about twenty miles a-round, a-round, and there are far too many people here for the room they have to live in. Some places that we tracted In ( a room about the size of our living room) have had as many as forty people living In them, but there are also many big beautiful places. Most people live in apartment houses like we do,- and there are very few one-story buildings. What most people live on here is small Dusiness. Almost every home has a small shop. They make hats, buttons, gloves, pants, almost anything. On this side of the island it is very crowded but on the other side it is very laeautiful with small hills and it's all green. It goes down to the ocean and there they have some very nice beaches. At one place called "Replus Bay," we have some members of the Church that live there. They are the Hick-mans Hick-mans from Logan. He works for the American Government here. We go there on Sundays and have dinner; they really treat us fine. We took the members of the Church and Investigators out to the bay last Monday and really had a balL We played all the games we play at home at a party. I showed them the race with the bats where you put your head on it and spin around then run back. Three of them ended up In the bay. Elder Owen ran right out In the water and couldn't stop; he had to borrow Bro. Hickman's clothes. It ended with a good lunch, . so everything was okey We travel here by the use of buses They are the double buses like they have In England, and here on this side we use trams or electric trains The reason why this place Is called Happy Valley Is because this is the center of recreation on Hong Kong side On one side of us is a very big race track for horses and in the center of the race track are many English football foot-ball fields On the other side Is a very large football stadium which seats about 20,000 people. Then in front of us Is another stadium for basketball and football. foot-ball. In Chinese it's called Pa Ma Tel or Race Horse Land. They used to build a house here to last about 20 years. Then they would tear it down and build a new one. But now they are building build-ing them to last longer, and are building them higher. None used to be over three stories, now some are fifteen. They have very nice movie houses here which are air-conditioned. air-conditioned. So in the hot summer it's quite a treat to go to a show. They have the latest shows here, "Giant," "Friendly Persuasion," wind just right it really smells, (nice). One area is mostly for tourists to buy things, another area is fur homes. Then out further in Sham Shui Po there are a lot of factories and shipyards. It's really dirty out there. Then you go on out to the new territories, or small villages. Then there is the line 'between us and Communist China.- We can't cross over but we have gone down to the line. Some of the people out there still won't accept the British as rulers, but they never give any trouble just go their way. We have six Branches, four on Kowloon side and two on this side, and the Mission ' Home, On the Kowloon side "Sham Shui Po," Mon Kok, "Tsim Sha Tsui," Kowloon Kow-loon City, Mission Home, this side, "Happy Val'ey", North Point. Four Elders in each place except on this side and we have six in each We have Conference once a mon th and play day once a month, We used to go over to the Mil- on Home for our Monday morn- are many hills. There are many.Ing meeting, but now we have It market places over there and most f on this side for the two branches of them are right out in the road. here. We have a baptism once a on a back street If you get the I month, this month we have seven branches have quite a few so the Church is growing over here. My Companion now is Elder Roberts, but I've been told that I'm going to move soon but I don't know where. It may be next month or the month after, but thev never i tell us until it happens. Over here we have the Hot season, sea-son, Rainy season, and Cold season, sea-son, but it's all pretty good. We now have about forty cottage meet ings a week. Most of them seem quite interested in the Gospel. We give about half and half in Cantonese Cant-onese and English, so it helps us to gain a testimony in both languages, lan-guages, and I'm happy that we can gain one in our own language, for I believe there is no testimony like the one in your native tongue. I'm enjoying my mission very much, and I love these people very dearly; they can really gain great faith, and they really obey the Commandments. But I will be happy to see my family again, and as the time is going by now It won't be too long until I will be on American soil again. May the Lord continue to bless our family, and may we live worthy of His blessings.
