The Kuala Lumpur district is the largest district in the mission. Our zone leader had these shirts made.
These are the missionaries in our district.
We went to Ipoh to set up the new firewall. It is much bigger than the old one. This is the new firewall. It is upstairs and the computer is downstairs.
Bruce skyping Salt Lake to refigure the computer for the new internet.

These are the tarts from our new bakery. Friendrich bought the chocolate mouse and penguin and shared. They were very good.

We went with the single adult activity to Crab Island. The houses are on stilts. We walked around the town. We bought a lobster and had crab and other items for lunch. We rode this boat to the island. We wanted an open boat but it was too expensive.
I was a little nervous getting on a bike since by last experience was very painful.





The houses are on stilts because of the water.
Catching our lunch.
This is our lobster lunch.

The Chinese Temple across the street from us had a special celebration for the birthday of the Goddess of Mercy. The street was lined on both sides with cars with the military directing traffic. We let them use our house for parking. It was all Chinese people. They would stop and ask us what we were doing there since we were not Chinese.
This is the lion dance. There were two lions dancing through the temple to bring good luck for the coming year. It was very crowded so we couldn't get a good picture.
This is the treat table that no one takes from. A lady gave us a special cupcake from this table. It said be rich....well and happy. They had a vegetarian meal that we had some of but didn't have time to stay.
The sisters stayed at our house for p-day to learn to make apple pie. The elders came to eat it. The sisters went walking at the park with us in the morning.

This is our Senior Couples Conference - first one ever in the Singapore Mission. It was great.
This picture is out of place. This is taken from our boat. It takes 1/2 hour to ride the ferris wheel. I am definitely going to do that some day. There is also a sky ride to Sentosa that I would like to do if I don't get scared to death.
We went on a river boat ride. It was cheaper for us to rent the whole boat than pay individually.
This is not our boat but like the one we are on.
There is a casino in one of these buildings and I think a hotel. We haven't been in it yet.
