Another Week in August
By Leighton | August 7, 2007
Well, another week has come and gone, and this time I am on a computer that can upload pictures, so I’ll add them after I upload them. I got my return flight itinerary last week. I’ll be going from Singapore to Hong Kong, then to San Fransisco, then to Las Vegas. I’ll be getting into Las Vegas about 7 something PM on Sep 5th. It is cool cause I will be leaving Hong Kong at 4 pm Sep 5th, and get to San Fransisco at 1 pm Sep 5th. So I’ll actually go back in time a little bit. haha. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get released Sep 5th that night, but it would be cool if I could.
Oh yeah, it was my sister Chantelle’s birthday in July, and Kendall’s on the 9th of August. She turned 17, and he will be turning 15. Crazy! I wish them a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Things are really starting to go well in the area here, and we have a lot of good investigators right now. Especially two really good families, Christopher Family and Bungai Family. The dads both smoke and drink, so they will need to overcome it before they get baptized, but they are really trying hard and are coming to church and are excited to be baptized soon. They are amazing! We also had a really cool activity last week, and also a baptism. It was a lot of fun, and really good. I interviewed a 9 year old girl named Novia for baptism yesterday, and she is really the smartest and most golden 9 y/o I have ever met. her prayer was so sincere. She asked me to baptize her, which kinda shocked me, but I asked her if she was sure, then agreed when she said yes. So that is kind of a spiritual highlight there. Among the many others every day.
My morale is still high, and I am really happy being here, but also really excited to be going home soon. I’m mostly excited to 1) See Friends and Family 2) Be able to listen to music, swim, drive, etc again and 3) Date of course! haha
I am still working hard though, so don’t worry. Maybe too hard, actually. I’m still a little sick, but hopefully I will get all way the better before I go home.
Anyways, I don’t have too much time today either. I plan to be doing some souvenir shopping soon and to say my goodbyes to everybody. I will really miss this place, and I know that a piece of my heart will always be here in South East Asia. I love the people, the culture, and the language.
I am also planning to try to see some of the people I knew from Singapore while I am there, so all you people in Singapore, be ready, I might just drop by! Hehe. Well, I guess that’s it for today. Here’s some pics and stuff:
