The JB Chinese speaking Elders are having great success right now and they are being led to those people who are prepared to hear about the Gospel.
They are working very hard and the fruits of their labors are being seen.
On August 5, we welcomed a new member through the waters of baptism.
Lim Boon Lai (John) was baptized and his sweet wife is now being taught.
The members of the branch have been very supportive of the missionary efforts,
and supported John at his baptism and small gathering following.
The JB Branch had a Branch B-B-Q at the Molek Pine 2 in support of Sister James who will be leaving this week to serve a mission for the church in Vanuatu.
There was a great turnout, and everyone enjoyed socializing with each other.
The food was great! and the company was even better. We are so happy that these members enjoy being together and supporting and strengthening one another.
There were several non-members who attended and all seemed to enjoy the fellowship.
We met Jessie Zong and her husband and little boy when we first arrived here. She came regularly, each Friday night to our English class. After they went home to China for Chinese New Year, we lost track of them and have not seen them for several months.
This week Bro. Ben, our Branch Mission Leader contacted them, and they invited us to come to their new home in downtown JB for dinner. They had just moved in a few days prior, and his parents were here visiting and helping them move.
His mother fixed an authentic Chinese meal for us.
What a delightful evening we had with them. They are so kind and thoughtful.
Thank goodness Jessie speaks some English, because no one else did.
There were lots of smiles!
They have a gigantic projection TV and were watching Disney cartoons.
