This is how we spent Boxing Day. Susan and Siew Yin took us to

FRIM which is a natural preserve with lots of trees.

Susan, Bruce and Siew Yin.

Bruce is on the bridge in the trees. I am taking the picture while standing in the water.

Susan and Siew Yin took us to icity. It has metal trees and

decorations covered in lights. Too many to put in a blog.

This was a snow walk. They had coats for people to wear. You had to pay. They wouldn't let anyone over 65 go in. I don't know why they think snow (fake) is dangerous.

Carriage of fake snow. Lots of lights.

We decided to go for a carousel ride.

Friendrich, Jean, Bruce and Siew Yin behind me. Susan waited below.

We are on the upper deck.

The entrance to the Sunway Pyramid Mall.

This is the Christmas tree at MidValley Mall with a maze around it.

We took rambutan and cookies to the kids next door for Christmas.

Dinner at the McKinleys. They invited all the missionaries in our zone. Karen McKinley is on the far end. Scott McKinley is second down on the right in the black shirt.

E/S Smith, Sister Burtis, us. The missionaries decided we all needed sarongs and santa hats for a group picture. I am not sending the group picture because these are cuter. Sister Burtis stays with us when her companion goes on visa runs.

These are the elders in our zone.

These are the people we spent Christmas Eve with at the Cole's penthouse.

We got these Santas from the P.J. Hilton. The one on the left is an Indian Santa that Sister Johnson got. The middle one is Arab that Sister Smith got. The one on the right is Chinese that I got.

This is our Christmas tree. We found it in a storage closet. Friendrich made a stand. I used Jani's blanket for a tree skirt. Friendrich bought us some lights. Susan and Siew Yin brought us some bows and little pine cones. The pine cones are in the triangle shaped containers. The packages are for the missionaries from Susan and Siew Yin.

Susan and Siew Yin took us to dinner for my birthday. We went to the Ship. Bruce had steak and I had salmon. Notice the real flowers in our drinks.

Susan and Siew Yin bought my favorite cake from Secret Recipe - chocolate indulgence.

six big candles and five small ones - very old

Eating birthday cake.

The bananas and rambutan are from our yard (sort of - the bananas are across the fence). Friendrich arranged them on a banana leaf as a snack for the elders during district meeting.

The airlines gave us umbrellas to get from the plane to the terminal. We return them at the terminal. This is actually the first time we have had to use them.

This truck of pigs was in front of us as we were going down the street in Kuching.
