Elsie

Dear Most Excellent Ones,
As many of you know my youngest daughter Elsie spent time in Hong Kong this summer from end of June to August 25.  She came along with a friend, Rianna, and the two of them lived in my apartment and worked at the tutorial centre that I work very parttime at.  Elsie and Rianna ran an English summer camp, tutored various kids individually or in pairs, and Rianna also taught swimming.  There were some challenges along the way but the young ladies overcame them and did such a good job that the owners of the tutorial place were begging them to come back for next summer.

On top of that the girls found time to swing dance, go to young adults group at church, church on Sunday,  Disneyland, Oceanpark, various markets, hang out with friends, eat, shop, and go to a beach or two.  They also let me treat them to seafood at Sai Kung.  No problem.  Elsie also slipped away for a few days in August to attend her friend's wedding in Norway!  No way!  No Norway!  So all in all in Elsie had quite the time.  She also will be joining me and Eli this Christmas and we will celebrate on Boracay in the Philippines.   Pretty exciting life for a 22 year old.

So I am happy for Elsie and many people this summer confirmed what I have know for years.  My daughter is beautiful.
