At a vegetable market. This is ginger growing . See those little red peppers on the dish in the back ground? She said they were sweet and only a little spicy. I bought some. I barely touched one to my lips and they burned the rest of the night. Yeah that was sweet alright.
Same vegetable market. I bought ingredients for salsa, except for cilantro, which I haven't found here yet. You would think with all the Chinese people that live here it would be in every market. No sign of it. Anyway the salsa was good. I found something round and flat-ish in the freezer department in the grocery store, fried it up and we had tacos. They were really good or we were really craving tacos? Used Mc Donald's hamburger of course.
Same market. I don't remember what they are doing. Maybe that is ice.
Big eating center at this market. Very busy on Saturday night. We showed up one Sat night and a band was playing rock and roll. So we couldn't resist. Yes we danced. There were one hundred people taking pictures and videos. I am sure we are all over you tube the next day.
This doesn't show up so good. Fantastic sun set.
Bright Red.
We went to an Education Fair and talked to a lot of schools. That's for our PEF assignments here.
Family home evening with Young Adults. We are playing Pictionary. There were 3 investigators there. This is another Sr Couple's apartment. They were out of town so we held it for them.
2 of the invesigators and Elder Mitcher is the red hair. Chinese speaking Elders.
This is part of our District. The Sister in blue next to me goes home in 2 weeks. She wants to go to BYU. Her family lives in France and she grew up there but speaks prefect English. She has not so good grades so we are trying to talk her into UVU for awhile and then transfer to BYU. The jacket I have on is only because the air conditioning in the church is so cold.
We were going to find JobsMalaysia department and didn't find it and kept driving and ended up somewhere out in another county of the State. The road ends here and you get on a ferry to cross the River. We didn't go across the river.
The ferry. Notice the little lady with the big hat. She just got off the ferry. So cute!You have to deal with the motor bikes all over the roads. Cheap transportation for them.
Little market by the ferry. Lots of shrimp and fish for sale. Grab a bite before getting on the ferry. No thanks for me. It really smells.
This ferry is at road's end. A home in the back ground.We are getting into the really hot season. I hate it when there are no clouds in the sky. I prefer the rainy and cloudy days.
Ordered this is a mall. It's called buttered shrimp. We love the buttered sauce. YUM!
But the shrimp still had eyes on them and the shells under the battered coating. Not so YUM!
We have been waiting for this place called "Gims Burger Place" to open. Don't know if we hit it on opening night, but we finally found it opened. Yes, he has the right idea to make a better burger. This has a char-coaled bun. The
locals may like it but for the cost, probably won't go back. And didn't like the meat that much.
Looking for NGO's we found this little Christian book store. This nice lady works there. We decided to buy this for our apartment.Then found out she is the one who did the needle-point work. It's quite beautiful..
Love the sunsets from our kitchen window and the jungle in front of our apartment.
Mosque. We went and took a peek inside. Very plain, they use it for praying . Dad and I decided when we get on the other side we want to ask permission for us to teach the Muslims. They are wonderful people with the cutest families.
Cemetery in front of the Mosque
Just resting in front of the Old British Court House. Downtown Kuching.
We're stopped at a light and this lady was putting sun glasses on her dog. She noticed we were watching and she held him up for to take a picture. Top this picture!
This is the Relief Society Birthday Party. The one that I made those 60 party favors for. The favors all got taken, but there was not 60 ladies there. Below are pictures of the ladies inside Sister Pauline's house. Her husband is BBQing chicken and fish for the dinner.
The Sister standing up is from Provo. She is pretty new out. She has been called to be English speaking, but her companion is called as a Malay speaker.
Sister Pauline has a few ears of corn growing in the back ground. She has room to grow a lot more than that. I don't understand why they don't grow more things. This is the first time I have seen anyone growing anything. They could be more self-reliant.
There's the corn growing and picture of sunset. I love these people so much. They are so humble and loving. They are trying so hard to live the gospel.
