Scuba Diving in Langkawi

The day after Thanksgiving Aaron took the kiddos to Langkawi to do some diving. He wanted to get some practice in before our trip to Bali in a few weeks. I stayed home to get ready for a Relief Society activity that I was helping with. 

Langkawi is only a two hour ferry ride away!

Thanksgiving 2016

All the missionaries from our branch were invited. However, two were missing due to them being in Singapore temporarily and we had an extra elder visit from Butterworth.

From left to right- Elder Massey (Sydney, Australia), Elder Gould (Nashville, TN), 

Elder Hunt (Rexburg, ID), Elder Fogth (Provo, UT), Sister Vraines (Bountiful, UT), 

and Sister Durham (Logan, UT)

On the menu was the traditional meal of Turkey, Stuffing, Potatoes, Gravy, Green Bean Casserole, Yams, Cranberry Salad, Strawberry Jello Salad, Homemade Rolls, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Cheesecake and Apple Crisp. Bob from Grumpiez also made us a roasted turkey (which we hired him to do) but when he found out that we were feeding the missionaries then he also said he would throw in a pan of stuffing.  

I gave him some homemade rolls in exchange:)

Malacca, Malaysia

Melynn went on a school trip to Malacca, Malaysia with her South East Asian Studies class. 

Malacca is about a 6 hour drive south, closer to Singapore.

Melynn and her friend Julia got a watermelon drink on Jonker Street in Malacca. 

The seller drilled a hole in the melon and then blended the insides with a hand mixer. 

Jonker Street is a busy market area.
