Hey There Again
Selamat siang Ibu terkasihku (good day my beloved mother),

This week was fun, I don't have much to write because I wasn't in Magelang the whole week. We just went to Singapore for a few days, went on exchanges with the elders there and went to their zone conference. The Elders there live in a super nice apartment on the 17th story. It's so nice. It was a lot of fun and Singapore was soo nice! It is the cleanest, safest city ever. Contacting people was fun because you never know what languages they speak. Almost everyone speaks english to one degree or another but there's tons who speak malay and chinese and prettymuch every other southeastern-asian-language there is. The showers were warm and the food was good and we got to teach in english. There was an elder there from malaysia and I talked with him in indonesian and we could totally understand each other which was cool. There were only a few words that were weird and different.

Highlight from the week was watching the new missionary training video from the 12 which was all about Teaching Repentance and Baptizing Converts. A lot of inspired counsel about how to be better in our work. We watched that in Singapore with all the missionaries there. One cool thing was that I met Elder David Chin in Singapore! It was so cool to see him there and talk for a bit :)

We got to Singapore on Wednesday and flew back on Friday night. Right now I'm still in Jakarta, and probably won't get back to Magelang until Wednesday or Thursday depending on the immigration office here in Jakarta. hopefully I'll get back on Wednesday and can meet my son again :) Ibu Y got baptized with no problems, but Pak O wasn't quite ready yet. Sorry I'm out of time but I love you so much mom!! I know that the Savior lives and loves you guys so much! Prayers are always being sent your way

Love,
Elder Paskett

My beautifullest wonderful mother,

We just got a phone call and it turns out there've been some problems with visas or something here in Indonesia. So, we're headed back to Singapore!!! Woohoo, travelling!! We probably won't get back to Indonesia until Thursdayish, and then I'll get back to Magelang sometime the next week. Anyways, just wanted to let you know since it's still P day and I can send you an email. I also just wanted to express my undying devotion and love. You are the greatest mother anyone could ever hope for!!!

These are pictures of me and Elder Vandyarto at Borobudur! Cool right?





This is me riding my dream motorcycle, a kawasaki ninja. I asked if I could sit on it and the lady said yes, so Elder Vandyarto took a picture.
