The Littell Life: Time to Head Back Home!

It is time for this wonderful chapter of life to come to an end for me, although John will be returning back till the construction of Wynn Palace is completed (we are hoping that may be by the end of July). My heart is filled with gratitude for the wonderful experiences we've had here and especially the beautiful relationships we have developed with the people in Macau. Hopefully we have been able to touch their lives for good as they have ours! From the branch members to the hotel staff, to the locals on the streets, all have played their role in making this a truly incredible experience! Most of all, however, we are grateful for the opportunity we've had to share this time together as a couple.

Here are some pictures of our final week here together:

Teryl's last Sunday in the Macau 2nd Branch

The Eric & Connie Johnson Family from Vegas (going on their 3rd year here)

Going to miss these beautiful and friendly sisters! (Sister Anna)

Below: We were able attend the Self Reliance Course Graduation also on Sunday. (John did a seminar for the class last Saturday evening). What a blessing this program is for the members here!

There were around 25 participants who graduated, and as part of the program, they each had an opportunity to share how they will implement what they have learned into their future business plans.

President Marcello (District Presidency) and his wife

President Alyon (Branch Pres) awarded each graduate a 'Certificate of Completion' signed by President Monson.

My last day of site seeing With Connie Johnson...

We toured Fisherman's Wharf where they were preparing for the 'Yellow Duck' Festival

Below: The coliseum at the Wharf...

This was way cool! Felt like we were in Rome!

And after we picked up Cam from school... (International) located across from the new 'Wynn Palace'

We took a walk and had lunch at the University of a Macau (The campus was huge, especially being on reclaimed land). It was a beautiful campus with a river running through it!

While there we could see the wall that divides Macau from Mainland China (white block wall)

One last meeting with Christina and the Holbrooks (who are finishing their mission next week).

We met for dinner at one of their favorite local food stops and had 'Arabian Kebabs'. I was a little leary, but they were actually really good!

Love these ladies!

Goodbyes are difficult when you have become close and shared wonderful spiritual experiences together! They will be eternal friends from a special chapter of life!
