Friendrich made this grasshopper for me from a banana leaf.
We went with the young adult group to hike to seven waterfalls. We stopped and played in one and took many pictures of others.
One of the waterfalls. This is the one we played at. I did get wet because it was deeper than I thought.
This is a leech. We put salt water on our legs to keep them off. Apparently Friendrich did not.
Bruce and the others are searching for shrimp. They put them in a water bottle.
This Brother and Sister Lee. They are the first senior couple to go on a mission. They just put in their papers but have not received their call.
This is looking down on one of the falls.
We climbed stairs to some of the falls and hiked through the jungle to some. The young adults reminded me of Ken and Kirk helping me over the rough spots.
These monkeys are very aggressive. They expect a handout. If not given willingly, they will follow you.
This is what we came home to after Singapore. The neighbor took pictures on his phone but we are not sure the police will do anything. Peter is taking care of it.

Bruce and I went to Singapore for a visa run. The Garretts took us for a walk along the water where people were flying kites. It is a very beautiful place. One day Jocelyn, who we just met that day, took us to a cinnamon wood shop and other shopping places. The next day Bruce and I went to the Jurong Bird Park.
We went to a shop where men molded figures from cinnamon wood paste. We saw a huge gingerbread house that someone had ordered. I wish I could get it home.
This is Jocelyn and her daughter, Ava. She has five daughters. The others were in school. The Gregorys came over from JB to go to the shop with us.
This girl was from the audience trying to hold still while the bird flew and landed on her hand.
This bird flew through a small hole in the hoop. They had people in the audience hold the hoops. You had to be over twelve years old so you wouldn't get afraid.
This is the birds and buddies show. They had a parrot that talked and sang happy birthday. He sang a song in Chinese also.
This was a fun walkway. The rain is stopping.
These pelicans are above a tank of water so we could see them catch the fish under the water.
Bruce thought this was the perfect pose.

For those who haven't seen her, including me, this is Emma Kay.

This is a house they are building around the corner from us. They started it when we came.
The Gregory's swimming pool. A very nice apartment building. We would walk with them in the mornings.
This is a Tesco store. Very big. This aisle is rice. There is another aisle of eggs. They use these items a lot.
Banana tree. This one was on the side of the road.
Chinese breakfast at a hawker place. I cannot tell you what it is.
A full house at our Johor Bahru workshop. We had seven laptops. Sister Gregory made soup and sandwiches.
