So sorry that I haven't been able to Blog for a while. I think I have found a way around the problem so I thought I would record what we have been doing for the past two months! The photo above was taken in the little airport of Ipoh, West Malaysia. Elder Moulder and I had been there (In Ipoh, not the airport) for two days helping with a Family History Open House and were on our way back to Singapore to catch a flight back to Kuching. This man and his bride and their wedding party were scheduled on the same plane to continue their wedding festivities in Singapore. It was so fun to see all the elaborate costumes the men and women were wearing for the wedding. I asked if I could take his picture and he replied only if I was in the picture with him so one of his cousins took this shot. I spoke more with his bride than with him but everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. It was fun to watch.
His bride (who is completing a PhD in Engineering) enjoyed posing for me and showing me the henna tattoos (which took only 2 hours to complete) and telling me about her wedding attire. It must have weighed at least 50 pounds so she moved about very carefully and she had people to help her at every move. They were delightful and it made the waiting time go by very fast.
So....this is just one of the fun things that we have been doing as we began traveling in May. Bit by bit I will catch up but right now we have another baptism to attend so we need to be off. I am happy that I have found a way around the problem and will be able to get back to my weekly updates. I've been afraid I would forget too much since this is the way I journal my life!
