This week the baby is developing arms and legs. It's mind-boggling a 'thing' the size of a blueberry has hands and feet!Wow, it sounds so surreal! When I took the pregnancy test, I was expec […]

    • Happy Chinese New Year! January 23, 2012
      Yay! The first day of Chinese New Year. This is the year of the dragon, which is probably the most auspicious year for the Chinese, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon.Every year during this time I miss my family terribly. It's supposed to be a time for family gathering and I miss out on that every year ever since I moved to the U.S. Sigh […]

      Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great time in Las Vegas with my cousins and their families.

    A Brief Stop In Singapore

    By Leighton | January 23, 2007

    After reaching Singapore, we found out where we would be going. Sister Pike was going to Bintulu, East Malaysia. Elder Mortensen would be going to Kandy, Sri Lanka. And I was going to Colombo, Sri Lanka. We went to the house to get some sleep on Wednesday. We were supposed to go on exchanges with the elders there, but we fell asleep, and they felt sorry for us so they didn’t wake us up. We went out on splits on thursday with some of the elders there. It was kinda scary. It was my first time doing any kind of missionary work. We did some ’street contacting’ and rode the MRT and a bus. We went to China Town and wandered around. Then we came back home to the Pasir Panjang house. I was with Elder Munden. The next day, we went to the airport and Elder Allen wished us luck and dropped us off. Elder Mortensen and I would be on the same flight. We found it ok, and waited. While I was waiting, I bought a small electric shaver, as mine had broken when I plugged it in to the new power source voltage. We boarded the plane and were on our way. We were pretty excited to be going to our first areas.
