Back from the resort

What I'm going to do is just post some pictures, and then I'll try and explain the pictures after I see what order they are in.

These are pictures from a 5 star resort off the west coast of Malaysia. The resort is on an island, and the entire island is owned by the resort. The resort is owned by a Christian man, who allows his employees to attend Bible studies, etc. and also brings in local pastors and provides them with room and board while they are there. So Lynn and I and Autumn got to stay at this world famous five star resort free gratis. We were blessed.

The picture on the bottom left is of Lynn on the far side of the island at a place called Emerald Bay.

Autumn is enjoying herself in the pool.

Top right is a picture of our room. It was a pleasure to minister to the people at the resort, workers, mostly Filipino, who are mostly new believers. New believers are always exciting to minister to.

We arrived back in Ayer Tawer this afternoon (Tuesday), and will be having dinner at the Diamond Home this evening. We were scheduled to go to the Cameron Highlands tomorrow and Thursday, but Suba would not have been able to come with us, so that will now happen next week, and we will go to a town called Ipo tomorrow.

There seems to be a nice mix of ministry and sightseeing, so we truly are feeling blessed. We'll continue to try and keep you updated.

God Bless!!!!!

The second time preaching with an interpreter at a Mandarin Chinese church. The next picture will show me preaching at the same church the next day to a English chinese group. The reason for the second picture is so that you will notice the bare feet.

Downtown Ayer Tawer, where James and Suba

A view of our room at a very nice resort called Pangor Laut. One more picture AND then I'm gone for now. I'm wasting pool time.

One final picture for you coffee lovers. It's hard to get a cup, it's mostly instant, and it's small.

Blessings to all. It's was really sad to hear about 8 more inches of snow. WE WENT SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN AND IN A VERY NICE POOL. THE TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 30. VERY WARM. LOVE RANDY, LYNN, AUTUMN AND MACKENZIE

Mack's Musings

hi to everyone in Canada. It has been very nice here. It has been a bit cloudy but that is nice because it makes it a bit cooler. Hong Kong was very interesting. some of the buildings were really amazing. about 90% of the cars in H.K. are public transport but there were also a very nice cars. clothes are very cheap here especially soccer jerseys. Dad if you read this call the borns and make sure they no about this.

HI JACY,NICOLE,KAYLEA,KRISTIN,CACHE, CORRINNA,NATHALIE,ISSACC

Hey guys!!
I'm having a GREAT time in Malaysia! This picture was taken in Pasator James' and Suba's office with theBEST HAT IN THE WORLD on and so far we went to preach at 1 church service and we're going to 1 more tonight. So far I bought myself 3 shirts. So I went from FSJ to Vancouver and it took 1 hr. and 10 mins. Then we went from Vancouver to Hong Kong and stopped at Hong Kong for 14 hours. I LOVED Hong Kong. It was beautiful. Then we went from Hong Kong to Kuala Lampur and went to get a meal. Then we drove to Ayer Tawer and it took 4 hours and I slept the whole way there. Then I wasn't tired at night time. I didn't sleep well at ALL. But last night I had a really good sleep. Then I had a shower in the morning when dad woke me up. It was REALLY cold!!! Then this morning we went to a really good place to eat. Then we went to go shopping. Anyway, have o go. Talk to you guys tomorrow BYE!!

I preached my first message in Malaysia last night with the help of Pastor Rajan. It was interesting to say the least, and it must have been okay because there was a good response for the altar call. Many people came for prayer. Last night was Friday, and tonight we will be ministering at Christian Life Chinese section, so once again I will be using an interpreter.

Lynn is starting to feel better, for which we are most thankful.

Here's a picture of James and Suba and Ashton, with Suba's sister and her neice and Autumn.

We've not been here long enough to get scenery pictures yet, although tomorrow (Sunday) we are going to minister for a couple of days at a five star resort. Life is tough.

Hi to Jacy and Nicole, Kaylea and Kristen, and Cache Luke. Autumn will send you something on the Blog soon.

Amber, I once again need your HELP!!! How do I change to anonomyous like you suggested?

We Made It!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a picture of "Cosmic Grounds" about to become known around the world, especially with the amount of coffee I drink. We are excited about leaving.

This is us overnighting at the Hong Kong airport. My wife can sleep just about anywhere, as long as she has me to watch over her. One of us must stay awake.

This is Autumn sleeping on the bench at the airport in Hong Kong. What a cutie, and not bad for someone who wasn't even tired. It is about 4 AM Hong Kong time.

This is Lynn and Mackenzie sleeping on the benches.

Lynn and Mack in downtown Hong Kong taking in the sights. Autumn was thrilled with Hong Kong, and thinks she will probably move there when she grows up.

The four of us shortly after we got off the plane from Vancouver in Hong Kong.

We arrived in Kaula Lumpur about 1 PM local time and James and Suba were there to meet us with son Ashton. We had a very long, tiring flight, and then had a four hour drive to Ayer Tawar, where James and Suba and Ashton live. First of course, we had to stop at Suba's sisters house for a meal, and then we had to go to a local "Starbucks" (sorry Marnie,no Cosmic Grounds in Malaysia yet) for a coffee for the road.

It looks like we will have a very full schedule while here, with many opportunities to share in various churches. It sounds like I will even get to speak occasionally with an interpreter, which will be a first.

Lynn is thinking right now that minus 20 isn't so bad after all. She never has done real well in the heat.

Autumn is going to say a little something now to her classmates in FSJ.

Hi! We've been having a great time here in Malaysia. We just arrived here last nigt(in FSJ today is Thursday.) and had a bite to eat. In Malasia, rice is really famous. So then, after the meal we went on a 4 hr. drive to where we are staying. I slept the whole way there and last night,I woke up at 5:30. Last night I did NOT sleep good because of these REALLY strange noises that almost sounded like a man dieing but in the morning we found out that the people making that noise were pigeions.When me and mom woke up we started to read and dad was still asleep and he was snoring like CRAZY!!! !(heehee) I'll tell you more tomorrow or the next dayBYE!!!

Mack has disappeared for now, so he can have his say next time.

God Bless.

Pray for Lynn. Her and heat do not get along so well.
