My First Real Email in a While

Hello, 

Sorry it has been so long since I have sent a real email. Some things that I may not have said in my last quick email that have happened in the last three weeks. 1. I think it worthy to mention that although I do not have pictures of butterflies on me, I did get a lot on me and even held some of them - not even on a pineapple that they love to eat - on my finger. 2. while at the butterfly farm I held a scorpion (it was probably about 6 inches long - and the stinger was still on it). 

If I didn't mention it last week in my quick email home, Elder Florence has gotten ingrown toenails because his shoes are so small, that we needed to look in Singapore to get him new shoes because there is nothing big enough in Malaysia. The sad part is that it was to no avail. He got permission and so now he wears open toed sandals everywhere :). We had no time to email, so I am very grateful that I have the chance to email now.

We had zone conference in Singapore at the begging of the week, so we flew in, stayed over two nights, and headed out in the morning to fly home: to flights - first to the capital of Malaysia (KL) and then to Penang. We learned a lot of good things there. One thing I liked was we learned from Elder Bednar about how we get lots of confusing thoughts, and it is hard to know what is from the spirit, and what is not. He says to just do what you know is right (and stop worrying about it). While we were in Singapore, the mission arranged for us to go see the light show that was newly installed in Marina bay (this is the bay that has the Merlion, and the ship on top of the three hotels if you are familiar with Singapore.) It was really cool, (lots of lights, and projecting on water films.

Even though we got in half way through the week to our area, we had a good week! We got a baptismal font, and it was dirty so I got in and cleaned it out. It certainly isn't a font like in America - it is kind of like a big bathtub. Well, I am sorry, I have to go. Till next week.

Three real categories of pictures: 1. Cool things at the Butterfly farm, 2. The Street art in Penang that is on the cool European part of the city. 3. Pictures of us in Singapore​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ (one pic of the district)
