    • Story #306: Music August 29, 2010
      Kate Vogele is someone I'll be listening to for a long time. Her music rocks! I love love love her style, lyrics, and of course, music. I discovered her unintentionally after listening to S.H.E's 爱就爱了(S.H.E is a popular girl group in Taiwan by the way). I realized S.H.E were doing the cover for Kate's song, "Angel" so I had a listen […]

    • Story #304:I am back! August 20, 2010
      Hi peeps! How's your week? Mine was so much fun, so much driving, so much instant food, so much nature, and so much sight-seeing. I've taken about 1000 pics in about a week. I would've taken more if I weren't in the car so much. Oh ya, our road trip took us to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Calgary, Banff, and Yoho Natio […]

    • Story #303: Southern Utah weekend August 11, 2010
      Last weekend, I skipped class (the class talks about nothing important anyways), and drove the 3 hour back to our beloved Toquerville and St.George. St.George was okay, Toquerville was fantabulous! I got to see my buddies, Max and Nikki. Max still smells as bad and Nikki seemed to be so quiet. I'm sure Max still remembers me even after the 2 month absen […]

    • Story #302:Ahh...the field of purple that makes my heart sing August 6, 2010
      On the same day that we went tubing in Provo Canyon, Mr.L and I went to the Lavender farm in Mona. Because I have so many friends in Europe (most of them are my high school friends who went there for college) and I go to some Chinese forums where hundreds of Chinese students in Europe post their pictures every single day, I came to know and fall in love with […]

    Gawai Party

    By Leighton | May 22, 2007

    Well, another week has come and gone, and I am still in Bintulu haha. Well, it’s ok, I like it here.
    I am doing well. We did find some new investigators, including one named Alex. He is a 15 year old kid, but he is way samrt and super golden. He dreamed about us before he met us, and he said when we contacted him, he felt something stirring within him telling him we had something important to tell him. He is awesome. We set a baptism date for him and he came to church and seminary, and already has lots of friends already. He is so cool. We also were able to set 5 other baptism dates this week, it was really cool to see all the ways the Lord has blessed us here. I know that this church is true.
    We had a party yesterday for our Branch. We celebrated Hari Gawai Dayak. It was a really big party. It’s like Christmas for these people. There was tons of food, and singing, and dancing, and Ngajat, and lots of people came. A lot of fun altogether. I got to dance the Ngajat also. I uploaded a bunch of pics and I took a lot of videos, so I will try to upload those sometime. I have so many videos I need to upload, but it takes so long to upload them, I often don’t have time. Maybe today I’ll upload a few.
    I will be going to Kuching this next Monday for Zone Conference. It will be a lot of fun, it always is. Anyways, I will try to finish the maps for Sri Lanka, Singapore and here, then I will post them with the pics. Here is the pics for this week:
