Kota Kinabalu Chapel - Groundbreaking

Friday, 12 October 2007

This was a historical event that I have been thinking of blogging but didn't get around doing it until today.

Thanks to Elder Boushley. If you haven't visited my blog recently and wrote to me about being at the groundbreaking of the Kota Kinabalu Chapel and zipping me pictures of the event that you have scanned, which in turn spur me to write to President Jacobs for more pictures, I don't know when I would have this memory blogged.

Thanks President Jacobs for allowing me to upload the pictures that you sent to me.

This was an exciting day. This was a special day, a historical day. This was the day of groundbreaking of the first LDS chapel in the whole of Malaysia. We are going to have our own building that we can proudly tell people that it is our church.

I am grateful that I was there to witness this ceremony.

and out with the soil!

Me and my children. I am glad at this time, Lian was back on semester break with us in Kota Kinabalu, and was able to share this experience together with Yean and me. Yean looked so thin here!


I like this picture:

Back row (from left): Alan, Margaret, Joyce, Findley, Edre, "who is that behind Edre" - is it the other twin brother Nelson or Wilson?, Eder and "I can't recognised who is this?
Front row (from left): Serena, Lian, Yean, the other twin brother Nelson or Wilson?, Ruth.

The Kota Kinabalu church was the first chapel built but wasn't dedicated first. It was dedicated exactly 3 years later - Sunday, 16 April 2006. Isn't that something - same day and month!
