April 19

Dear every one;

Easter and the General Conference had just gone.  On April 18, our branch had two baptisms at 6:00 PM.  We missed it because we had a Relief Society District Conference at Kuala Lumpur at the same day.  We and four sisters went together by bus at 11:00 AM.  Then we rode the train to the PJ Chapel.  We were on time this time at 3:30 PM.  I went up to the second floor and read my scripture.  At the meantime, Elder Thacher and Elder Badley came in my room and visited each other.  They are the senior couple and they served in Kuala Lumpur area.  Elder Badley will go hone in a week.  Elder Thacher will go home in June.  Two hours went by very fast.  We had a short visit with Sister Mains and just said Hello to President Mains.  They flied up here a night before.  Every other week, they are on the road.  Two weeks ago, Sister Mains was coughing very bad. We are glad that their health are holding up well now.  They set an good example for every Missionary to learn.  

Sunday, we had two confirmations who was baptized Yesterday.  Sister Sally asked me to confirm her. I was so humble to serve her.

After the pot luck lunch, we held the Branch Counsel meeting which covered the Home teaching, increasing the Sacrament attendance,  reactive the members, invite the young men to serve Mission, encourage the members to pay the tithing because some members could not get the Temple Recommend for this reason.

Sister Sally gave a bag of present to us, and Brother Samuel handed us a bag of dried mushroom.  We thank them for their kindness.

Wednesday will be the transfer day for the Missionaries.  Three Missionaries may be transferred. It will be a busy day for us to providing the ride during the transfer day.

Moy,Amy, and Chris, thank you for the letter and pictures.  We are delighted to receive your letters and picture. 

Is it all right that let the Optimist Club to use our parking lot and the rest room during the Strawberry Festival?  Please let me know.  Thank you.

Love

Elder and Sister Mah

Dear Every one;

These two weeks were very busy.  On April 4 and 5,  President and Sister Mains who is our Mission President visit our Branch.  He did the Missionaries interview, Temple Recommend renew and Patriarchal  blessing interview.  He had a full filled schedule in these two days.  I was filling in as the secretary for him.  At Saturday night we dropped off at their hotel and we were invited for a beautiful buffet dinner at the hotel with  Brother and sister Withman who he is a guess professor at the Multiple Media University for two months.  Then they will go to Hong Kong and a calling there.   We surely had a wonderful dinner with them.

April 6, and 7 we were at Johor Babru for a District Conference.  The Elders were playing Ruby on Monday afternoon and no body got hurt.  It was the business as usual on Wednesday but one sister Ruth called in sick.  We scheduled to visited her Tomorrow.

 We rang the door bell. Sister Ruth did not answer the door.  We assumed that she might be not home.  We left a note on the Home teaching lesson and visited another family.

We wanted to buy some banana for the family because they have three children.  When we were in the night market which is very popular in these areas, the father came in and were looking of us.  When he found us and told us that his wife was sick and the God sent us to their home.  We were hurry back to their home and found out that his wife's left hand could not rise.  We knew that she may have a  miner stroke.  The family only had a motor cycle, therefore, we helped her got into our car and took her to the local hospital.  It was 5:30 PM.  The emergency room was full of patients.   Tests, waited, tests, waited and at 10:45 PM, she had to stay at the hospital for further observation.  We took their children home then we went home too.

Father just got a new job and started working on Friday, his boss told him that he should come to work on Saturday morning.  When left the hospital, we went to their house and brought some clothes and we took the children to their mother's brother's home and stayed overnight there.  Without their father'd help, we could not to find the place.

We watched the General Conference on Sat, and Sunday.  It was a week late.

So long, and write to you again.

Love

Elder and Sister Mah

Have a meaningful Easter to you.  It will be a Fast Sunday at Melaka Branch.  It will be a busy Sunday.  President and Sister Mains will visit our Branch.  President Mains will interview the Elders and two prospective Elders and their Temple Recommend. Then the Patriarchal interview, and renew the Temple Recommend interview  for the members will be following.Sister Mains will be busy too for the inspection the Elders' Apartment. 

If the time will be allowed, we may go out for dinner on Saturday night 

We believe that this will be their last visit the Melaka Branch because they are going home on July 1, 2015.  President Mains is a good Mission President.  Sister Mains is the Mission Mom.  Missionaries and senior couples love them a lot too.  Their schedule were packed every week When we came to Melaka, we realized how much work that they carried during these three years.  We sincerely thank them for their unselfish service to the Lord.

We are doing well and wish you too.

We had a new couple attended our Branch Yesterday who from USA.  He is teaching Business Law at MMU and she was a retired nurse.  They will stay here for two month, then they will go to Hong Kong to work at the Asia Office as an Executive Secretary for Elder Goo.  We could walk to visit them at the Muti Media University dormitory.

I am working on the Home teaching list and hope to get it done soon.  Missionary work is slow down at this time and hope we will pick up again.

Hi every one;

How are you doing? Is the spring coming at your area yet?  We wish all of you are doing well.

Seven o'clock in the Morning is still dark over here.  Even though the day light saving time did not apply here.  The day time temperature is 80-85 degrees.

Did you turn in your income tax yet?  There is only a month to go.

Last Tuesday, when we were in the Missionary Training, guess what was  happen.  Steven who we took him home couple weeks ago came in the Church building.  What was a surprise to us.  He was walking without the shoes  Therefore his feet had a few blisters.  We asked him to wait for us when the training session was over.  

We went to McDonald for lunch.  Then Elder Flynn and Elder Earl and us took him home.  On the way home, he asked us did not tell his mother.  Later on we found out that he ran away from caring home.It was a long walk from the caring home to the Church.  Elder Flynn called his older brother who would come to help him out when he was off.

The other miracle was a Sister who we had taught for a long time  that had a appointment at one O'clock.  We missed a turn and could not found her place because the ipad was not showing the map.  When we figured out, it was a hour late.  Elder Flynn and Elder Moala were teaching her.  She would like to be baptized on April 11, 2015.  We pray for her that she has faith in Jesus Christ.

Love

Dear every one;

How are you doing?  We wish every are doing well.  Time goes by very fast. It is nine months to go.

Last Thursday, we went to KL for Mission Tour.  Elder and sister Fund came to Malaysia and visited all mission areas.  President and sister Mains were coming up too and delivered Adam's express mail to us.  It was thankful to have the Wells Fargo ATM card and the chip credit card.  We thanked Adam and Crystal for doing that.

During the Mission Tour, We saw many Missionaries who had served in our Melaka Branch.  Many of them were Zone leaders and we are proud of them.

Elder Funk told us that we should get up early in the Morning and follow the Missionary Hand Book guide line.  It will make a difference in our work.  He suggested that planning and scheduling is different one another.  

This Sunday was our Fast Sunday.  We had many good testimonies from our members.

President Tan will attend the Presidency training for two weeks.  He asked me to presiding the Sacraments.  

After the Chinese New Year, the weather is getting warmer, the rain and the thunderstorm is coming back too.  The rain is a heavy shower for a hour and the river level is getting high too.  Many fruits tree are flowering and start a new season.

We love to read your email and pictures.
