Miri’s First District Conference
By Leighton | January 10, 2009
Well, another week has gone by and I am still writing! Sharon says she doesn’t think I’ll last on this ‘write once a week’ gig, but I’ve heard statistics that once you’ve done something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. Well, this is 21 days now, so we’ll see what happens.
This week Sharon and I both were kept pretty busy with work, she at school and I at home on my laptop. We went to help the Elders teach a family one night, and another night we went out to eat with Sharon’s Mom’s friends. The rest of the time we stayed home. On the weekend, Sharon and I went out to eat at Hot Spot, and it was pretty good.
The exciting thing this week was the Miri District Conference. It is the first one ever, and many people from Bintulu came up for the Saturday and Sunday sessions. I was able to see lots of people I knew from Bintulu, among which were Bro Gibbison, Pres Lembang, Sis Pantai, Sis Amy, Moses, Rina, Roslan, Jerini, Bro Joseph and his wife and Sis Man. I also met (former) Elder Simon Baker-King, who I knew from my mission. He and two of his friends were in town from Australia. They are traveling around the world, stopping different places along the way. I also was able to speak with Pres and Sis Skelton after the conference. Pres Halstrom was the keynote speaker, and it was good to see him again as well. I still have a picture of me with him from when I was in Sri Lanka.
So that was our week. I just realized that Tyler gets home in a month and one week, so that’s coming up very fast. I remember the last month passes like a dream. He will be back in no time. I wish I could be there, but Sharon and I are still waiting on the Visa.
I have decided to post pictures on my blog every time I post, to spice it up a bit and also for my own memories (since I write this blog mostly for the benefit of my old self in 10-20 years). So here are some pics:
