Zone meeeting

We have zone meeting once a month and it is usually in Ipoh. Sister Chris likes to feed the missionaries so she organizes a meal each time. The food is very good and there is always plenty but the missionaries love to eat.

eggs

They love eggs here. They have many ways to prepare them. Century eggs take 100 days to prepare, they were soaked in horse urine in the past but now they are soaked in chemicals. They look terrible but do not taste too bad (almost good). The herbal eggs are soaked in soy sauce and are quite good.

We have FHE in our home for the singles in the branch every Monday night

Singapore

Our last couples conference in Singapore we went to Little China and Little India. It is amazing how may businesses they get in a small area. We also went to the zoo for the day, the Pandas were so fun to watch. There is construction all over Singapore and it is all up. This is a construction site we saw on the way from the airport to the hotel. I could not get all of the cranes on just this sight, there were six in all. It must be a very big project.

Talent show

Our Branch activity for October was a talent show in which many of the branch members participated. We had a great time. We had singing, dancing, gymnastics, martial arts, violinists, poetry and piano. One member is an entertainer and she played the ukalaley and the kids really had fun participating. Lim Shau Ming is a professional violinist (it was beautiful), he tours all over the world. Addy is the youngest daughter of an ex-pat family and her hair is naturally this way. We all had a great time. Lim Shau Ming is a proffesional violinist, he pla

Missionary Sisters

Sister Lewis and Sister Alfrey have been working very hard and they working very hard and they work together very well. They enjoy riding their bikes, I sometimes wonder how they make it with the crazy traffic, they have very busy guardian angles most days. They are both very competitive and they made a wager one day. The looser had to eat a whole large pizza. Sister Alfrey lost and ate the whole Pizza.

She had a lot of support from the missionaries.

Baptisms in the Penang Branch

We have had two Baptisms during this transfer, the Elders taught Nathan and he was baptized on the 20th of September, then he went to Kuala Lumpur to school.

The Sisters have been teaching Sister Jeffer and she was Baptized the next day September 21. She is going to be a great addition to the Branch.

Kamran and Nabeela were going to be baptized October 31 but President Mains decided that they had better wait until the UN finds a country that will give them permanent residency. They had tom leave Pakistan because of prosecution. They are Christians and he was almost killed several times for their beliefs so they applied for refugee status from the UN and came to Malaysia. President Mains said it was alright for them to be baptized but then he decided that because Pakistan and Malaysia are Muslim countries it would be better for them to wait. Everyone was very disappointed but Sister Lewis pointed out that things will be done on the Lord's time not ours. The missionaries have been working very hard and are teaching some wonder people.
