It's been a crazy week. I feel like I don't have much to tell you all. At the beginning of this week, Sister Ray was a bit under the weather, then we went to Singapore for zone conference, then I got the sickness Sister Ray had for the last two days of the week.
So the missionary work has been slow. But I am feeling better and I am ready to get going again.
Zone conference in Singapore was amazing. When I first arrived in Singapore two months ago, I didn't have time to look around. But on Wednesday, I got to walk around Gardens by the Bay. It is beautiful.
The most exciting thing that happened was that we went to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. You know. The one where if you google Singapore it is the one with three towers and a big boat on top?. So from Gardens at the Bay you can see the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Sister Ray took one look at it and decided that somehow, she was going to get to the roof of that hotel. I was all on board so we started to head over to see how we could get to the top .
Once we found a way to enter the lobby, I began to be a little worried. I kept asking her if she was sure that were allowed there.She assured me I was worrying too much. So despite my worries, she located the nearest set of elevators and we rode to the top of that 57 story hotel.
It was lovely. I took pictures. It wasn't until we got down that we realized that people were checking for cards, and we weren't supposed to be able to go up there. It wasn't until that night though, when we told our mission president that he told us that usually they make people pay 20-40 sing (dollars) to get to see the view from the top of that hotel and he hadn't even been to the top yet.
So while I would have politely asked around and found out it costs money. Sister Ray just did it. But we got a some totally cool pictures! Which I just found out I cant send to you this week because I forgot to download it to my google drive first. So next week!
Zone conference was the best part of Singapore though. It was very uplifting and I can't wait to go and do!
Just some little miracles that did happen this week:
1. Sang some songs in the park with Sister Ray and her ukulele this week. Even though we didn't get any solid PI's, I am sure it made peoples day, to see some white girls being happy and singing about how they are a children of God. Also, it made us happier
2. Saw a rainbow! There is NEVER rainbows in Miri
3. Safety traveling (The immigration office even gave me a piece of candy!)
4. Got invited to a members sons birthday party (This is a HUGE honor, because they don't have much, and family gatherings are super special for them)
5. Committed a three sisters to baptism. Hopefully we can get their mom this week!
Sorry it's so short this week! I promise I will go out and get some more miracles this week so I can tell you about them next week! I love you all! I hope you have a good week!

PS If you ever wondered what it sounds like to sing I am a Child of God, in Malay, with some tone def missionaries, with a branch mission leader and his family and a guitar? Wonder no more!
