October 23, 2008 - In Singapore!

hellllooooo family!!

well i made it to singapore! My flight including layovers turned out to be about 27 hours in length and i finally made it! singapore is amazing! truely what everyone said it is. it is very clean and orderly.Yes it is quite warm here, very humid but everything is going to be alright. This place is much more than i expected though. Every race that you can possibly think of lives here and its amazing. Including the american retirees, and I think its safe to say that no dad, you most likely would not want to retire here...way to hot for you haha.

This is like a huge city springing out of a jungle, its super neet. and i think its safe to say i have never been to such a large city before, i wasnt expecting so many highrises but they are everywhere and i am just in a daze right now haha. we were picked up by a mission couple here taken to where we will be staying till saturday when we leave for our various destinations, then we went and met with president skelton. Awesome guy from what i have seen thus fur he seems like he meens business and it makes me all the more ready to go and serve with all my heart. Ok and now, the point ive been anxiosly waiting to say, is where i'm going to be for my first city....i am going to be serving in KIlang malasia pretty coool! bad news is, my trainer apparently doesnt speak malayu so ill be on my own in learning that for a while, but thats ok because from what i have heard from the elders here at the mission home we basically have a 6 months advantage on them with the language atleast.

ok well heres my address i will be going to first

Woo thats a long one. Well i just had an authentic singapore experience, i just ate indian food, with my hands, it was awesome haha. very hot stuff and my hands are permanently ornge from the curry haha. o ya, so i wasnt aware but they are telling me that i have to donate to the bike fund....and i guess its 250 dollars so ill be withdrawing that amount very soon...i think i have it in the account but im not sure. If you could check for me that would be good. Im kinda frustrated with that seeing a i bought my sweet bike for 140 and its probably way better than these. but i guess you gotta do what ya gotta do. But ill check and make sure that i actually have to pay that cuz now that i think, i think its voluntary. Ok well i prolly better go! sorry this is so scattered, thats just how my brain feels right now haha. Ok i love you all have a great week!!
