Visit from Elder Hanks

Elder Phil Hanks, who served in our branch about 17 years ago, had a meeting at Fort Meade. So he dropped by our home for dinner. We then drove him to the Kentlands Chapel for the branch fireside, where he met other members. It was great to see him after such a long time.

Christmas in Utah

This Christmas we decided to fly Breeze Airlines from Dulles Airport to Provo, UT. And it was a breeze. We were able to see Grace performance her dance.

Our long-awaited family group photo at the Utah State Capitol turned out beautifully despite the cold. Thanks, Veronica, for taking the photos. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with our family during Christmas and New Years Eve.

2024 Chinese New Year

For the 2024 Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon, we traveled all the way to DC. Jonathan had surprised Li-Fang on her birthday. Together with Joshua and Jonathan, we went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum for the cultural shows and crafts. Lester, Li-Fang's nephew, met us there. We also walked around the Asian Art Museum and walked to Reren Lamen restaurant for dinner. Yum yum!
