After complaining to Sister Mains, our mission president's wife, about how our elders leave their apartments so dirty and gross when moving on to a new area, we got the lovely assignment to teach the elders and sisters in Zone Conference.  There were going to be 4 stations for the elders to move through, each one helping clean the Stake Center in Singapore and, at the same time, help them learn skills of cleaning their own apartments when they move.
We got the wonderful assignment of the bathroom.

Linda and I had 4 rotations of elders and sisters and had 3 bathrooms on the fourth floor of the Stake Center.  One bathroom for men, one for the ladies and one bathroom was the family bathroom to change babies in.  Linda talked with the elders and sisters at the opening of each 20 minute session, while I took the assignment of making a huge mess in each restroom.  Then we concluded our sessions with a race to see which group could clean their bathroom the fastest and the best.

The poured chocolate pudding powder in each of the toilets and used shaving cream on the mirrors, along with my own solution of mango jello water to the yellow look around the toilets and urinals.  A really nice touch.  We took the word "bathroom" and made the following acronym:  B - beautiful sink and mirror, A- awesome shower, T - tidy toilets, H - hairless floors (in order to have a) R- really,
O - outstanding, O - odor free, M - Mains approved bathroom.

By the time we got to the 4th session of teaching this to our elders and sisters, I ran out of shaving cream.  I began using some of the cleaning products to spray up on the mirrors and mess up the sinks.  Linda and I took two rolls of toilet paper and pulled off one square at a time and put it all in a plastic sack.  Then I went into each bathroom and threw toilet paper all over the floors, sprinkled the pudding powder in toilets,
messed up the mirror and sinks and sprayed yellow jello water all over the place.  I had lots of fun.

Here is the first group of elders and sisters getting our presentation.  This is the Singapore North Zone and they had a larger amount of sisters in this first group.  We broke them up into 3 groups, for our 3 bathrooms, and only used the few elders to clean up the men's restroom by themselves.  Surprisingly, the elders did the cleaner job on their bathroom.  The winners would get first grabs at the Kit-Kat bars for their reward.  These "international" Kit-Kat bars don't taste anything like the real thing, so I didn't have much trouble giving them away instead of eating them during Linda's presentation.

Here is Elder Smith, in the back of the picture, with Elder Beckstrand in the black shirt showing off his "gigi" (teeth) and one of our favorite missionaries, Elder Olivares in pink, making a rather disgusting face after tackling the sinks.
We give Elder Olivares a hard time, because my wife and I had to clean his apartment, after leaving the Masai area.  He left his can of shaving cream in one spot so long it rusted and there was enough hair left on the floor and in the shower that you could have made a wig.

Here is another one of our groups, sitting down the long narrow hallway leading to the restrooms.  Right in the front left of the picture, in the black shirt with yellow borders, is one of our favorite kids, Elder Sheranian.  He was moved to the Kuala Lumpur area a few weeks ago as District Leader.  He was a great worker and companions to Elder Olivares.  We sure get close to some of these great missionaries.

This is one of the smaller group of sisters cleaning the family restroom.  When we started our presentation, we thought we better make sure that the bathrooms were ready to go and I walked into this one and the smell just about killed me.  For the past few days, all the babies diapers were sitting in a garbage can and the lid was not on tightly.  I had to remove the bag and get it outside as soon as possible and then hope the room would air out before we started.  It was really bad.

This final picture is our kitchen in the Singapore Stake Center.  Notice the large circular windows that are all around the four sides of the building.  When you look at the outside of the building, it looks very similar to a temple.  It could easily be converted over into a temple for future use.  It has 4 stories to it and is quite a beautiful building.  The 2nd and 4th floors have full size chapels in them, with podiums and everything.  This was one of the other stations for cleaning presentations that Elder & Sister Martin put on.
The other two stations were cleaning all the chairs in the building and cleaning off the black marks on the huge dividers in the cultural halls.
