How does one write and describe what just happened in the past couple of days without jeopardizing the true awesomeness of everything?? I left my decision of wanting a bouquet and wedding cake till the week before the wedding. Months before, Ivy sent me a wedding preparation list which I looked and then kind of tossed it aside. Checklist includes : 1 year before, what to do. 6 months before,

Being back in California is awesome. I've missed it so and I never thought I would be back here for a long long time. But here I am, and in a few more days, I will be getting married. So much emotions are running through me.  The nostalgia of being in my mission area once more, (although now, this area has been handed over to the Carlsbad Mission not too long ago.) Everywhere I turn, the people

It just dawn on me that today is not only the new year but it is also my baptism anniversary! While everyone is thinking about their hopes and dreams for the new year, I end up thinking about the day I stepped into the waters of baptism. My brother and I fought a lot. But on that very evening, on the way to the church house (yes, it was an actual house), we had a solemn discussion at the back

And just like that, Christmas is over. The moment thanksgiving was done, Christmas lights and decorations were put up, Christmas songs were heard everywhere, Christmas programs televised, and all that for one day worth of celebration..... and then it's gone! It doesn't feel right. Contrast that to celebrations of Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali.. I think we have the technique of

We sit at the back rows of the chapel every Sunday. I like sitting at the back because that way I can watch and observe people. One of my favorite past time. There is a lot of things that run through my mind when I people-watch.  What kind of dynamics run in that family? How do they discipline their children? How is the relationship between the mother and father?  Is it chaotic at home?

For the past 2 days, I have been sitting in front of the computer and on the table, addressing envelopes for the wedding invitations that are to be sent out.  The fiance did the technical part of putting the invitations together, and typing out the words to have it printed. I have the responsibility of writing. We were told that writing the address by hand is the most proper way to go, in terms

Clifford shakes his head at seeing how much I enjoy watching it. :D  If you don't know what I'm talking about, visit here. It's over the top for sure, but I just think she's soo funny.

Yes, I'm alive and I made it halfway across the world, in one piece, along with 1 guitar, 3 huge suitcases, a big backpack, a handbag and the man I am going to be marrying. I still can't believe this is all happening, but every time I look at him, he is the reason, I believe. I was touched by friends who came to see us off at the airport before we left Malaysia. The airport is a long ways away

I cannot believe the month of October is almost over, and I'm leaving in a few more weeks. And what have I done to be ready? NOTHING. Clothes. Not packed. Knick knacks. Unsorted. Trash. Accumulating. And my fiance said he could see me, in the near future being in one of those episodes of "Hoarders." No. That can't be true. But really? No laaa.. If you look at my house, you will see that I am

It's been a tough few weeks. For some peculiar reason everything seems to be going wrong or somehow, just when you think you have your sufficient dose of bad luck, more befalls onto you. The car that has been overhauled a month ago broke down right in the heart of the city, in the midst of a heavy traffic jam. It led to a miracle worker who came to our rescue but decide to charge us exorbitant

Have I told you that I'm working as a freelance photographer (and a crafter, and also a guitar teacher) since I've been back in KL? No? Well, now you know. (I have also found out that I can still work locum in pharmacies despite my current situation, so that will be fun too. :) ) I get a lot of interesting reactions when people who hire me found out that I'm a pharmacist by profession.

I never knew my last post would have evoked so many comments. Even those that didn't leave a comment on the blog, left them on my Facebook inbox. I think I had wrote a somewhat brief post that left many to think I'm backing out. And thank you for the comments. I am going to attempt to further explain my last post. Marriage can be a wonderful thing.  Any sane person who is in love would want to

Is marriage really for me? Or is this whole thing just huge huge mistake? My moving back seems to be doing no good. I face more doubts than ever before.  And the only family available to count on for support, has better priorities. So, why is family supposedly the most important thing in the world? Being selfish leads you ending up to be alone but at least it's not disappointing because you've

I've been to church 2 weeks in a row now.. it's good to be back home. It's been over a year, where my sporadic presence is felt in the branch and there has been so many people that come and go, that I don't know where I fit in anymore.  Everyone is nice, of course. There's an increase number of expats and then there's the regular local members who, at least I know and they know me, but I still

So, the next big step has been taken and I'm back in KL. Picked myself and everything I think is of worth, from Jeli, back to KL. It feels good to be back home. Living in the comfort of a house that's mine. Furnished and with water heater! I get to go out and do grocery shopping at big huge hypermarkets that has a lot of things and so many choices to choose from. A proper park nearby for

So, I have said it time and again that I have never been goo goo ga ga over babies.  But this time around, it's different.  It goes to show I've grown older and have become more mellow than I had thought I'd be.   A very close friend just delivered her baby, and I never realized how excited I would be to meet her little one! This will be the first of many to come seeing that it is the season of

Being away from church has taken it's toll on me, it feels. Imagine driving on a slow road and despite the crawling speed, there's a bunch of speed bumps to slow you down even more. How does one stay optimistic or even hopeful? I used to be able to share Nephi's courage, but when I read that same chapter this morning, instead of feeling a kindred connection to Nephi, I shared more of Laman and

My recent adventure has given me a lot to think about. My grandparents were from China. My father's parents made their journey here to Malaysia and started their family here.  My grandfather was a brilliantly smart man, who read a lot and ended up becoming an educator. My mother's father had a wife and a daughter when he decided to make the journey to Malaysia, in hopes for a better future.

I love how interesting dreams can be. I love how it most often combine everything, from fiction to facts and make up a super crazy story that sometimes I wish I can just go back to sleep and continue dreaming because I'm dying to know what is going to happen next. It's like my very own blockbuster movie, and the best part is that I'm always the leading actress! Hehe. I loved the beach. Always

Why are some people just so talented?? WHy?? And why am I not one of those? I just got done watching the movie "Famed." I know it came out in 2009 but I haven't been keeping up with the movies, but late as I was, it was still good, okay! I once heard that this formula: Talent + Opportunity + Resources = Success. Without any one of those 3, your chances are cut down by 1/3. The arts are not

Am I a like-able person? How do you know if you are liked? I was just wondering about this because at times, I feel like people thread cautiously around me.  Maybe because I'm not as friendly as people would like me to be? Or because I have interests that most around me do not share, so no common ground to bond? My friendliness or the lack of depends on where I am.  I figured dividing it into 2

When I started college, I was excited. Excited at the prospect that when I graduate and am out in the field, it would be like the ideal medical team to be working with.  Doctors, nurses, pathologists, radiologists, nutritionists, etc.. all working hand in hand in bringing optimum healthcare to the people. As time goes, I found out things aren't what it seems. We get along fine with everyone

I'm not perfect. In fact, I'm totally imperfect. And neither is everyone. But I somehow, still expect it, sometimes. I think it's a thing I grew up with.  I get home from school, show my grades to my Dad. I'm in the top 10. He'll jokingly say, "next time can try and get first, ya.." Me, "But Paaa...it's so hard la.. they are all so smart..," I whine. Then he responds, "If they can, you can

What? Did you think I was going to let this new year go without new resolutions? It occurred to me that I'm in need of new resolutions apart from maintaining the ones I have made.  More so when you do another blood check today and found out that your cholesterol level is still the same level as it was a year ago! !@#$%^&* Like seriously, what is up with that?

One week has gone by and I didn't die. What's more is that for my first weekend and I had planned on going back home to get more stuff that i would need but instead, I end up being on call. The variety of things to eat around here are minimal so I will loose weight even without the need to try.  And with good internet connection so far.. I think I will make it through.  So, it's not thaaaat bad

Towards the end of October, I found out that I was to be transferred out from where I am working to another even remote area to work. A whole month went by before I finally decide to accept the transfer and do it.  Today I'm here.. and I'm wondering if it's all in any part of Heavenly Father's plan.. or if it's just Satan's attempt to tamper with my salvation and sanity.

With the change of status from being single, then dating then engaged.. I am suddenly more acutely aware of those who are getting married all around me.  Friends, family and even strangers!  What have I become? Normally, I get a wedding invitation, I go, join in the fun and celebration, give "ang pow" (Red packets containing money, a much preferred gift for traditional Chinese weddings than

Next week marks my one year working in Perlis. One year and I could be transferred out of the hospital, placed in some random department that I probably don't have much of a passion for but I'm sure will learn to like..or they (the Ministry of Health) might think it'd be "fun" to put me in an even more remote place.  Who knows.  I requested to be transferred back to KL but history has shown

I skipped a whole month without blogging.  I know I keep saying I will do better but I just don't seem to.  For one it seems like the only thing I feel like doing once I get home from work is to go on Facebook, or do nothing but just watch a movie on my computer.  And Facebook is really really horrible in the sense that I spend way too much time on it.  Gah.  That's what happens when you have so

Why do I have to conform??? I'm so mad right now and even more frustrated because there's nothing I can do about it.  It's either I conform, or risk the consequences of my actions from going against the norm (again). And many a times, they'd who are against my intention of giving in to conformation, want to see me fail so they can have the last laugh. But, seriously, do they not know that if

I could do better? I was just thinking the other day, it's been a year, well now.. over a year since I returned home from my

A conversation with a fellow colleague not too long ago got me thinking, What is love? She claims that for her to be able to share her drink with her boyfriend, he being able to see her room, meeting her parents, etc. meant that what they have is more than just puppy love.  It is the real thing. So, does that make me cheap for having no preference or set guidelines whatsoever in having things

Callings are great. You are given an assignment, and like it or not, you do it.  If you are not open to learning, you tend to hate it.  But if you are and when you strive your very best, you come out of it, grown, experienced, and amazed at yourself.  Now, did I tell you that I am in primary... again?   When I first got that calling years back, I thought it was a huge mistake.  The branch

Today is just one of those days for me.   The day that you wonder about yourself and your capabilities. I feel great.  Most of the time I'm confident.  Confident in ways that are most of the time different from the confidence of what people expects of me.  But I still think I'm a great person with great abilities. But sadly, my abilities doesn't cover certain areas and it's hard when people

Wow.. it's been a while since I last had a bout of food poisoning that I almost forgot how horrible it feels to be puking so much. This is what you get when you are too lazy to cook at home and you are tired of eating oats or just drinking milk at home for dinner.   I went to work today with my head spinning and wondered why did I even attempt to come to work.  I guess my attachment to work and

I was reminded that my blog needed an update. I'm such a procrastinator. A few times a week, something good (or bad) happens, and I think to myself, "This would be a great story to blog about" and then I come home, I sit in front of the computer and get sucked into Facebook. Gah.. that wretched but yet amazing site. Oh and not to mention the dates that takes up my time too! ;) I'm a huge

Courtesy from "Close to Home" by John McPherson. I love his comics. 8 out of 10 times, his comics will definitely make me chuckle. I say chuckle because seriously, I do.So, I saw this one the other day and was like.. THIS IS just WHAT I WANTED TO DO for New Year's..

We are unique individuals. Everyone of us have characteristics that makes us.. us. With some more similar while some complete opposite. Like a jigsaw puzzle. Our differences can and is a good thing.. I mean, piece all the different pieces together and we make a beautiful picture no? Differences makes it all the more interesting. However, when differences are frown upon and one party thinks he/

I was told by a friend today that the Year of the Tiger is not going to be "smooth" for me due to my horoscope. The clashing of signs and bad omens as a result from it. Well, so much for my excitement for the year 2010. NOT! But on second thoughts, you know.. it could be true. I had some bumpy encounters with some staffs of the records office, who is making it a little difficult for me to do

So, guess where was I for New Year's eve? In the Accidents and Emergency Department. And what was I doing? Helping my colleague dispense medication. Until what time? 12.30 am. I figured I'd make the best it. I had this way awesome plan. I was going to get all the pills and tablets ready.. and as we counted down to the clock striking midnight, we are going to throw them meds in the air and

People are weird. And why I continue to let myself be around people who are, is beyond me. I talk myself into believing that everyone needs a second chance, third chance, fourth chance, and then it ends up with the hundredth chance and it's still the same. I get irritated and annoyed at myself for subjecting myself to all this. Maybe I'm just sadistic in nature, not loving this but yet still

I cannot believe how expensive everything is these days. What with having to work and not getting any pay for the first 3 months because of who-knows-what procedures that needs to be done before the money can be put into our bank accounts. So, that leaves me, wishing so bad that I'm back in the US where things just seemed so much more cheaper and affordable there. I especially miss the dollar

So, after a week of driving back and forth to another hospital which is about 45 minutes one way, suffice to say, by the end of that week, I was utterly exhausted. Oh and to add to that, my weekend for the next few weeks are Friday and Saturday. Weird. I know. It feels weird working today. I went to work today, and it was like any other day of the week, everyone here works like that here.

Ever felt like there's something more out there? If you are going to say God, Greater Being, etc. That is a sure fact. But what I'm getting at is more so, is there's more to what you are in right now? I love my job. The moment I reached the hospital, and I walk to the office, I feel at home. Even when late in the evening, as I walk away from the wards, and towards my car, it feels good, no

Finally.. I have some time to think, on top of all the craziness of life at the moment. There are so many of us who do things based on trust. Be it professionally or personal. You do or you don't. A lot use some common or sixth sense to help decide. So many come into the hospital to get treatment, to see doctors, to get tested, etc. A lot of which are simpletons, ignorant of a lot of things,

Okay. A good friend reminded me that I have to update my blog. So much has happened that I don't know where to begin. I guess, maybe for starters, my job? So, I finally got my hospital posting. Yeay! The not so "yeay" part about it is that the letter came just a day before I was suppose to report for duty!! Sigh. Some things will never change.. So, with a quick phone call to say I will be

Gah.. I slacked again. Today, I figured, I need to write something before September ends, and maybe do better from October onwards? Heh. So, I'm still doing my temp job which turned out to challenge my organization and administration skills more than my medical knowledge, which is fine. But seeing how obsessed I can get at doing some of the tasks, I'm suffering from quite a back ache, more so

I miss my mission.I really do. I miss everything about it. I miss my companions, I miss tracting, I miss meeting people, I miss visiting members and investigators, I miss teaching lessons, and I miss wearing my name tag.I just remembered I had to prepare a lesson this Sunday, in Relief Society and reading talks and everything just reminded me the feeling that I had being on a mission.

We all know what the effects of belladonna does. Medically used to to dilate your pupils so the ophthalmologist can look deep into your soul and see if you need to be cleanse. NO. To check if you have some internal damage in the eye. Actually the correct term is atropine, derived from the Belladonna plant. Calling it Belladonna gives a better feel to it, don't you think?

So, it’s been 2 weeks since I have written an update. Not having an internet connection at home can be a little inconvenient sometimes. Well, then again, I don’t really have an excuse because I have my notebook at home to use, and I could compose my post first and then upload it online. Ok, so it’s my fault.Since the last time I wrote, I have been attempting at scrap booking my old college

Hola Everyone..First post since I got home from my mission. It feels weird. I know I have writing even before I went on my mission but now it feels like anything I write will not be as exciting as I had it when I was a missionary. It’s weird feeling empty and lost. I don’t feel like my personal study is as amazing as it has been too. I thought I was adjusting well in my post mission life, but

Monday, 4 May 2009Ok. I know my title may seemed blasphemous.. but it's not intended that way.Technically, this may be my last day but I am not released till I get home next week. So, I'm still a missionary with rules that apply, but it will be P-day everyday for the next few days. I don't know what is going to happened to me then. Will I break down, finally? I had not cried much at all and I

Monday, 27 April 2009My last week on my mission!!!!!!!I don't think it has hit me. I still feel like it's not ending yet but at the same time I feel calm, somewhat. Maybe it's the Lord helping me deal with it. I don't know.Last Sunday was an inspiring fast and testimony meeting. (Next Sunday is stake conference.) And one sister's testimony made me ponder some..If you knew that it was going to be

It's not summer yet.I have not been able to jog for a couple of days. I don't remember twisting or spraining it in any way... but one morning I came home from our exercise and it felt a little sore.

Monday, 13 April 2009It's been a good week.A lot of appointments, a lot of teachings. However the sad part is that our promising investigator who is suppose to be married and then baptized this Saturday is now in jail. Apparently she has not been honest with us, and was also getting her boyfriend, who is a member to get back to his old life, which he had painstakingly forsaken. One thing

I guess it's inevitable to think about it since it's definitely happening.So, everyone.. I'm going home in May! So, there better be exciting plans for me to help me not get into PMD (Post-Mission Depression).After much praying, as much as I wanted

Monday, 30 March 2009Our first week of threesome went by well. It was still annoying at some points and we feel it but I think we have adjusted and will still be adjusting.Sister Mitchell and I hate threesome with all our heart and so I guess Heavenly Father wants to change that. We have been working moreso in Jurupa 2nd ward and managed to touch the La Sierra Heights area a liittle. But with

Monday, 23 March 2009This could be my last 6 weeks!I said could because, when I called in the mission secretary asked if I would like to go back in June instead. There is not enough Sisters in the mission, because Sister Wilkey just went home today due to medical issues, and so it threw things off.Sigh. I don't know. I don't have any pressing issue to push me for either May or June, but for some

Monday, 16 March 2009Hola!It's the final week of this transfer and Saturday, we'll find out if I get to stay or if it needs be that I move. Seeing that after this will be my final last 6 weeks, I really don't want to be transferred and "die" somewhere else. Only because I have grown to love the ward so much and that we have been kept busy with so many amazing ward missionaries and an outstanding

Monday, 9 March 2009HolaIt's the 5th week of transfer.Aargh! Last week started out a little crazy. Only because with the new assignment our ward mission leader gave to one of the ward missionary, on coordinating was confusing. As the week progressed, we got to work through the "bugs" and hopefully this week is going to be smoother.It will be a busy week again, that's for sure. There's a

Monday, 2 March 2009Hola!Last Monday, Sister Needham called again (mission office secretary) to ask if I have decided to go home in May or June. After almost 2 months of putting it off and finally she decided to put me on the outgoing missionaries in early May. My heart sank. Which means I have only 9 weeks left on my mission.I love my mission and am far from wanting to part with it, but I know

Monday, 23 February 2009Hola!Last week has been crazy. We walked so much like we've never walked before. We are one of the companionships that have brand new cars in the mission and recently, the mission vehicle coordinator announced that there was registration issue and so those of us who have the new cars are not allowed to drive our cars until given permission to do so. So since Thursday till

Tuesday, 17 February 2009Hola!First week of transfer with Sister Brimhall has been a lot of fun. It's good to have a companion once more. She's such a cute girl but very very shy. For the first time in my whole mission I feel like I do a lot more talking. Previously, with other companions, it's been a fair share in conversations whenever we visit people.But interesting enough, Sister Brimhall

Monday, 9 February 2009Dearest Home,Transfer news is in.. and I'm staying. And my new companion is... Sister Brimhall. I am excited. She seemed like a really cool sister. So, it will be fun.Sister Tan left on Wednesday morning. It was a tearful good bye. She's an amazing sister and it's been fun serving with her. But with her gone, slightly before the transfers here in the Riverside mission, it

Monday, 2 February 2009Hola!It's week 6 and Sister Tan is leaving.. Wednesday... sob. sob. I'll be companion-less for about 6 days. I don't know what I will do.. I have team-ups with some of the ward missionaries for those days but it is just not the same as having a missionary companion. I woke up this morning and wondered... will I go through "separation anxiety?"It really can be quite a weird

Monday, 26 January 2009Hola!Gong Xi Fa Cai!It's Chinese New Year and Sister Tan and I are wearing red today. :) Hopefully, that will help bring more prosperity to the mission work here, especially in the Jurupa 2nd ward. Heh. Anyways, we had our computers booked earlier, but we arrived a couple of minutes late, so we lost our reservation and had to make another one. It would be so funny if we

Tuesday, 20 January 2008Happy Belated Martin Luther King day..We didn't get to email yesterday since it's a public holiday and the library was closed. So we went about with our P-day as always.. however, with or without, you'd think you'll have more time to kick back and relax, but yet, it was still crazy busy. Running around and having to get things done.It's bad enough since the washer in our

Monday, 12 January 2008Hola!It's been a pretty good week. Very very windy too. There are multiple times I felt like as if the wind is pushing me while I'm walking and the car felt like it's going to fly side ways while driving. Tsk tsk.Multizone was last Friday and Sister Tan had to give her outgoing testimony along with the other Elders that are going home end of this transfer. She has to

Monday, 5 January 2009Hola!Feliz Ano Nuevo! (Happy New Year!)The past week has been a slow week. Sister Tan got sick earlier in the week, then I got sick towards the end. So we didn't do as much as planned. Then there was New Year's, which was our Super Clean day so we did a lot of de-junk-ing so that felt really good.Many more things are coming your way, Mom. Heheh.We met the new zone on New

Monday, 29 December 2008It's transfer day!Sister Tan and I are staying but more than half the zone are transferring. So it is somewhat a sad day. We didn't get to see zone today since everyone is busy. Even the road going down to the Jackson building is blocked. So that's that. I had grown to love this zone, just like how I've grown to love every zone I've been in. Transfers truly is a challenge

Monday, 22 December 2008Ho! Ho! Ho! Feliz Navidad!So, almost everyone around has Christmas gifts sent from their home ward and family, and I'm on the verge of wondering if anyone really cared for me... I guess the ward that we are serving in cares. I know it's not about presents but it gets pretty crappy when everytime you turn, every missionary around you are getting stuffs.The Young Women

Monday, 15 December 2008Hellooo...It's a beautiful P-day today because.. it's raining aaaand.. it's 48 degrees outside. So I love it!We were busy last week.. There was President's Interview.. then there was also multi-zone and then we did a big service project on Saturday. We helped carry gifts in and give them out to less fortunate children. Mucho fun! Hehe.It's Christmas multi-zone last Friday

Monday, 8 December 2008Hello!We skipped the zone activity today and decided to go do our emails earlier. I love volleyball but after a while, playing it every single P-day, it can get pretty old.The past week has been pretty ok. I have been to the chiropractor twice last week. Our home share suggested I'd go and get my back check since I had that episode of severe back ache. So we went. The

Monday, 1 December 2008Weehoo! It's P-day again. :)Thanksgiving was fun. The zone joined in a ward's Turkey Bowl. Us Sisters just watch and talked. It was weird to just hang out for a while. Then, Sister Eberle, our home share made breakfast and right after, we played a game of pool. But after much eating and a little relaxing, it was back to work, well somewhat. We weren't allowed to tract, so

Monday, 24 November 2008Buenos diaz!First week of transfer felt like it flew a little slower. Well, for one, I woke up one day with a severe backache that was so intense that I was puking everything I took. So, I was pretty much dead all day. Then the following day, since I felt somewhat better, we went back to work, yet, it wasn't the same because I wasn't completely well. But no worries, I'm

Monday, 17 November 2008Hola!Man, this is a crazy busy P-day but it's all good. Us Sisters got our transfer last week. Only because the Temple Square sister came in last week.So, as of now, I have been transfered into a new ward. Still in the same stake but doubled in with Sister Tan, who is Patriach Tan's daughter, from Singapore. So, another dose of training but this is somewhat easier because

Monday, 10 November 2008Hola! It's my birthday. Man, I feel somewhat old but at the same time, I know that the Lord helped made it special for me, because it fell on the day we had multizone.Mondays are always our P-day. But today, we had a visiting general authority, Elder Johnson, from the quorum of the seventy who came, train and all. So, that was cool. I always look forward for times like

Monday, 3 November 2008Hola!5th week of transfer and this week it's Sister Wilkey's week to try and be senior companion. Having been in charge for a little while, makes it hard to let go and just sit back. So it will be an interesting week for me to sit back and "relax".I remembered when I was still a greenie and my trainer left me to handle things and make decisions. It was hard. I've only

Monday, 20 October 2008Hola!Today's P-day, we decided to take things slower by skipping the zone activity. Gives us more time to do laundry and clean. :)The past week has been pretty good. We had our multi-zone in Moreno Valley, so I was super excited to go back and see all the familiar surrounding. Some of the sisters who helped prepared lunch for us were from the Canyon Springs and Hidden

Wednesday, 15 October 2008Holaaa...SOrry, there has been some delay in my email this week. Monday was "Columbus Day" so it was a public holiday. Library was closed. Then on Tuesday, my trainee and I had to go to the mission home for the Trainer-trainee meeting and that took more than half a day. When we got home after the meeting, we had appointments all the way till evening.So, it's been crazy

Monday, 6 October 2008So.....I got a call last Saturday morning....before General Conference.....from....the Mission President.....and......he is putting me to train a new sister. O_oSo, thus, the new transfer begins with the stress, nervousness and yet excitement for the new sister. She will arrive tomorrow and I have to go for training and then we get to pick up our "babies"...However, there is

Monday, 29 September 2008Hola! It's the final week of transfer and Sister Foliaki is going home next week. And another sister will be coming in next transfer, so that will still put us back to 7, which means a trio is still happening. It's been fun and interesting being in a trio but I rather much prefer back to having a two some. And I don't know what's going to happen. Everyone thinks the

Monday, 22 September Hola! This week is superb!Why? Because it's cooling off!Which means? I get to wear more long sleeves, sweaters, thus, getting rid of my zebra tan.Woohoo!Well, the days are not that cold yet but the evenings are getting chilly and I am excited for the cold once more. However, there's the Santa Anna Winds that is going to come and it might make it warm again. Drats. I want to

Monday, 15 September 2008Hola! So, the past week has been mostly filled up with a lot of reading. Both my companions were sick and I couldn't find anyone who would be up to going out tracting with me. So... I stayed home and read Jesus The Christ, by Elder Talmage (one of our missionary library books). It's not an easy book to read but I made it through half way. So, I'm proud of myself. My goal

Monday, 8 September 2008This week has been ok. We had our multizones so that was a highlight. Our transfer focus is on the law of Obedience. Which was really good and despite all the effort put in to trying to be 100% obedient, after the training, you'd want to be 200% obedient. Hehe.And with just a few days before the multizone, I had to crack my brain to come up with a musical number for our

Tuesday 2 September 2008Ola!1st week of transfer is over and we are into the 2nd week now. It's amazingly fast how time goes.. truly it does.. I say it so much and I'm sure you are probably tired of hearing me saying that over and over again. Heh.Anyhow, the first week has been great.. there sooooo many Hispanics here. It's like 3 out of 5 houses we knock on speaks only Spanish. I get to whip out

Monday, 18 August 2008Ola... Phew! We almost didn't make it to the library in time. I drove as fast as I could possibly dare to because we were still on the road and we've booked computers to use at the library at 1pm. We made it.. with 1 minute left before our computers were taken by other people. So, if I am writing things that don't make sense, it's because I've been running from the car park

Monday, 11 August 2008Ola! So, guess what? We just found out that our area included a nudist colony way out in the canyons. How crazy is that?So, suggestions on how to bring the gospel to those people without getting into trouble?A member suggested we tie pamphlets and Books of Mormon onto rocks and throw it over their fences. I doubt they will appreciate that. Maybe one day the gospel will reach

If you have read about the earthquake that happened in Southern California and wondered... yes, I felt it.We were in the middle of a training given by the Mission President in Corona, when that happened. So, there we were, a few zones of missionaries, in the church building, and President was talking about thunder and

There were 2600 youths that participated and then missionaries from the mission and also from the San Bernandino mission who came and helped out.

Monday, 21 July 2008Hola, First week of transfer is gone and it's truly crazy how time flies. We had quite a lot of things going on. Last Friday, at our zone meeting, it was announced that we, missionaries in the Moreno Valley stake are participating in the dance festival, which is happening this coming weekend. We are not dancing of course, but apparently they needed us to help usher. So, Friday

Monday, 14 July 2008New transfer and my companion and I are staying for another 6 weeks. Our zone leader is going home and one of the Spanish speaking elder is training a greenie. The rest of the zone stays the same. It will be a good transfer I hope.The past week has been challenging. I feel spiritually low. Maybe it's just me. My strive for 100% obedience feels like it's not working out well
