Bronze Copper gang

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.

The men!!!

Elders Maynes, Shaw, Anthony and Williams at PJ Chapel.
Anthony met the two younger Elders outside their flat and asked them to get in his taxi and come for a soft drink 8 weeks ago, it all started from there. They are excellent young men of God.

Elder Shaw and Anthony Paul


This picture is in the Chapel at Petaling Jaya before Anthony's baptism by Elder Grenville Weston Shaw on Friday 1th July 2008.
We taught the gospel to Anthony with Elders Maynes and Williams, he was a joy to teach, always asking questions. His common phrase is "Just one more question"?, we quickly came to answer him "Only one Anthony"? after a few sessions of this he would answer with a frin, "just one for this minute, more later".

Prophet of God

We are so grateful to Thomas S. Monson for the years of service he has given to the church, his entertaining and uplifting stories and now his calling as a Prophet of God. Yes we sustain you as Prophet, Seer and Revelator of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Anthony, Elder and Sister Shaw at the District Conference in Kuala Lumpur on the 8th May 2008. Anthony was very taken with Sister Dass' comment that when we meet the Savior he will ask us where our family is. A ggod day rich with spiritual experiences. Anthony drove us and the Hectors home and had a good converstion with Elder Hector about the 'Jehovas' Witnesses' which the hector's had nearly joined and Anthony was a member of for 12 years.
