Date on the Waterfront
It has been fun to do different things for our courtship dates. Today we went to the Waterfront and had dinner at the John Brooke Restaurant. We love antiques and the stories you can learn from them.

Moving a House One Board At a Time
The Stampin Missionaries invited us to a service project to move a house. The members were living next to a family member that had become a very difficult situation. So it was decided to move the home to the other side of the Kompong, one board at a time. To get to the home that we were moving, we had to go down a winding narrow road, walk across and narrow bridge to get to the home. The difficult neighbor decided to do a project on his home the same time we came to move the home. We found a dump truck had dumped a pile of gravel that blocked our way to the home. The elders went to work moving the pile of gravel in wheel barrows over the bridge to the neighbors home for him. The elders sang as they worked, children joined in helping and then the family of the home being moved and the wife of the difficult neighbor fed us all lunch.

Saying Good-bye to Dear Friends, Elder and Sister Marteeny
Elder and Sister Marteeny served in Sibu on their mission. They are from Malad, Idaho. They were an inspiration and an example for us. They loved the people of Malaysia and worked hard to strengthen and build the church and it's members. We found kindred spirits being with them. They started an Institute class in Sibu Jaya teaching the Book of Mormon. The members loved to come to hear Elder Marteeny teach.
