Ate a Durian fruit-check
Walked in the surf of the ocean-check
Caught a miniature gecko-check
Got sand EVERYWHERE in our bedroom-check

The list could go on....but I will stop there :) I wish I could post some pictures, but unfortunately I left my camera cord back in our room at the Sri Sayang hotel, and can't plug in my camera! Maybe next time.....
I am currently in Penang Malaysia, enjoying +30 heat with a wicked humidity and lots of refreshing fruit juice and ice cream! I never thought I would be spending the first couple of weeks of my missions trip in paradise, but God has blessed us with this opportunity to experience a totally different place, with totally different people, and thoroughly enjoy ourselves as we do it! The scenery here includes lots of palm trees and white sand. The water is tourqoise, (I spelled that wrong didn't I? Well....maybe it's the Malay spelling :)) and the people are any mixture from dark brown to pale white (Me). Opportunities for adventure here are endless.....should I go parasailing today? Or maybe go to a restaurant that is inside an old pirate ship? Or maybe get my feet bitten by tiny little fish, so they come out soft and clean? (apparently it's the biggest thing here in Asia!) I will let you know what I decide...maybe all of them? Sending all of my love from Penang......I will return later, and possibly with pictures......
Ciao!
