This is the group of missionary Elders living in PJ House when we arrived on Thursday 21st February,Elder Clarke, Elder Foster, Elder Duron, Elder Shaw and Elder Maynes.
They were given the nicknames below after they left bronze/copper Malaysian sen coins all through our bed.
'Slippery Clarke', 'Shifty Foster', 'the Alabama Undertaker' & 'Pull through Maynes'.
The night we arrived home late at 11.15pm from talking to Elder & Sister Hector the 4 Elders had switched off all the outside lights so we couldn't see to fit the key in the door lock. I rang the front door bell and we were rewarded with the sound of pounding feet coming down the stairs. Elder Clarke opened the door and 4 faces looked out at us, Elder Clarke said "where have you been"?, Elder Foster said "we thought you were in bed", Elder Clarke said "Do you know it's after curfew time, 11pm"? I replied with a smile "we've been bad", without a blink Elder Duron said "that's alright just tell the Mission President, he's a very understanding man". Not bad for two adult missionaries at 55 and 66 years of age. That will teach the young ones to think the oldies are tucked up in bed safe and well.
