Many people like to have revolution during the new year time in order to make some good changes throughout the year. One of mine in this year is really nothing to do with revolution, but it is more like a wish, I hope my friend Blueberry and Asian can come to Utah at the end of this year. It will be great if they can see the return missionaries here in Utah, their kids and their life. At least, I hope they can also enjoy of the happiness I have when the time I am here. It will be a wonderful experience for them.
Richard and I talked about that a week ago. Richard, known as Elder Taylor, served in Hong Kong several years ago, a great friend of mine. I am staying in his house now during my new year break. He knows Blueberry and Asian when he just arrived Hong Kong as they were just baptized. Richard is very excited for their coming. He told his wife, Emilee, how much he wants them to stay in the house. Then I encourage Blueberry and Asian to shop no more in order to save up the money for the flight tickets. It is such a happy goal!
Richard and Emilee have a plan that they want to go to Disneyland with their kids this year. I am sure this must be fun to go as a family! There should not be anything can replace this happiness!
A couple of days after the conversation I had with Richard, he told me about how Emilee thought about the whole idea of the visit from Blueberry and Asian. Emilee suggested to postpone the trip to Disneyland in order to use the money to re-model the basement for an extra bathroom so then Blueberry and Asian can have a better place to stay. She wants to do it because she realizes Blueberry and Asian have to sacrifice to come here. I was touched when I heard it.
What a great lesson I learn from them; the true happiness is not necessary found in Disneyland, but we all can create our own by doing good for others.
