This is the family I wrote about earlier.  We had dinner on the floor while chasing 5 cats away from the food.  The food was ok, we ate it. This is Elder Scott. She needs a job very badly, so we are working on that for her.

This is my desk, study table, makeup table, craft table, discussion table.  Everything is within arm's length. You can see my desk is a lot smaller that Elder Przybyla's, but his came with the apartment and we bought mine. That is the church bought mine.

I just wrote about Christopher and his family and the bus story.  His children sat still the whole discussion and never moved. Elder Wayment on the right has since been transferred.

When the Ward watches General Conference they stay for the two hours between and have a pot luck.  I took Shepherd's pie and it was scarfed. One Elder said the cheese was so good!!

One of the Chinese temples in Kuching. We have been meaning to go see it so one day while we were working we stopped in. It's very lovely.

 Inside the Chinese temple.  Remember there are many many Chinese living in Kuching. They are the wealthy people here.

This is at the 1-Azam program building I keep talking about that trains women in cooking and sewing.  This is Nassie; she's a member and has been though the program and is here sewing to make money until they give her her sewing machine. When the government parts with the money. She's one of our stars!!

 The man in green and his wife next to him run 1-Azam, Col. Wong. The Man in red is very famous. He is called the "Wandering Saint from Singapore".  He is a doctor and has been living with the poor in China helping them.  He gave a talk at the Methodist Church this evening and we were invited to go. It was wonderful. the Choir gave a Good Friday program and then he spoke.

This is our trip to Bako Nati'l Park.  This is a picture of how they fish in this ocean cove area. We are in a boat on the way to the Park. 

The Missionaries were challenged to think out of the box to come up with ways to get more contacts. So they decided to have a booth at the malls about Family History. Once we get them interested in Family History we hope they will ask about the church. We are still determining the successfulness of the program.

Drove down to the Indonesian border to a famous shopping market held on Saturdays. It's at least 1/2 mile long on both sides of the street. Bought a skirt and some honey. Now we are not sure if we should eat the honey or not.  I'm sure it's not pasteurized.

Here's my Honey.  In the bottle that is!!
They get it out of the top of trees.

More of the market.  We got there late, most of the people have left.

I guess he is my best friend from the market??

These are sago worms.  People were buying them by the bag fulls. They love to eat them raw or salted.

Disgusting!! Nope not trying them.

  Another Chinese Temple.

Went to the Sarawak Cultural Village.  Everyone needs to go here.  They have homes of all the different tribes of  people that live here.  And show some of their handy crafts. etc.

They grow pepper here.  This is how they grind the pepper.

Don't know what this it for

This a Bidayuh home. They did have a Japanese head hanging in there.  They were head hunters until the end of World War II.

Doing their beautiful weaving projects.

Cooking some of their famous foods.

This is a long house.  If they were living here it would be divided into family sections.

  The single women sleep upstairs.

 This is the home of one of the poorest tribes,They are nomads and still roam around the country side.

 My  favorite: the Orange Ulu. They build their home very high up on poles.

  Their handy crafts and weapons, etc.

  They do dances of all the different tribes.

I am up there dancing. Next to the yellow shirt in the middle.

Bako National Park. I am standing next to a jelly fish that is about a yard long.
