新加坡
I hope google translate got that letter Title right...that is
Singapore is Chinese.
Well, because flew to Singapore this week for my last zone conference.
I have done it 7 or 8 times now and it is crazy that I will not be doing
it anymore until I go home. Nuts. Anyways, Singapore always presents some out-of-the-ordinary experiences that you don't typically get in Malaysia, or in Sarawak. One of the most noticeable things, every single time without fail, is
how clean and technologically advanced it all is. You remember when I first got
transferred to Singapore and I couldn't believe my eyes for, at least, like a
month? Yeah like that. Except now it all feels like home to me. Here are the
highlights of Singapore in a nutshell:
Obviously the training we received was great. I love
President Simmons and his wife. It's a hard job when you are the President of
missionaries living so far away from you on different islands. Like, imagine you
live in Texas and your mission president lives in New York. Yeah.
I got to see all the good homies almost across the whole
mission. Always a good time seeing how everyone is. I got to see Elder Haslam
and talk with him all night long. I seriously just felt like I was chillin'
with good friends from home haha.
We got to eat cereal, again. Always a highlight! I used toilet paper! It's been since...I can't even remember
when I last used toilet paper. It was a bit odd.
Long waits in airports make for some long, great, hyped
games of UNO with the house. It was legit.
Ok, on a more spiritual note for the week, the spiritual
highlight you could say. This week Henry got to pass the sacrament! It has been
so cool seeing him progress one week to the next just making leaps and bounds.
Baptism, priesthood ( and using it ), and now looking at a calling. When I told
him he was going to be passing the sacrament and then maybe blessing it one day
later, instead of the typical scared look I get from everyone else, I got a
some lights turning on in his head. You should have seen his eyes light up,
haha. He was way exited and anxious to get it done. What an example he is to me
whenever I am called to do my priesthood duties. Be like Henry.
Love you all!
