Our Senior Conference photo on Sept. 17, 2014.
If you sit on the small sofa with Pres. and Sis. Mains in the middle, that means you're on your way home.  Elder & Sis. Beus are on the right side of Pres. Mains and Elder & Sis. Bashaw are next to Sis. Mains in blue.  Hopefully, Linda and I should be in the next photo in December.  We currently have 14 senior couples in our Singapore Mission.

 Our wonderful elders, sisters and seniors at our Zone Conference.  This time, all elders, sisters and seniors from West Malaysia and Singapore came together for one day and then all of East Malaysia comes on another day.  Mother and I got the end seats for this photo shoot.

 Before our Zone and Senior Conference, we went to the little island of Sentosa, south of Singapore.  This is where Universal Studios is, along with a huge aquarium and amusement park.  We went with the four elders from our Masai Branch to the aquarium.  It was a blast.
Here is Elder Spurrier, walking through the long underwater tube.  Quite amazing!  The elders came into Singapore earlier this day for a dentist appointment and then waited for us to arrive.  We met up around 2 pm and stayed till about 6 pm.

 Our four elders from Masai.  Elder Robins in front with the green sunglasses, then Elder Ferguson and Elder Taikin behind him and Elder Spurrier in the back.  We sure love these four elders and have fun when all eight of our elders come over to our apartment for District and Zone Meetings.  This coming Monday will be another transfer day.  We will see which elders leave JB and how many new kids we get.  It's always fun to get some new elders, but sad to lose the ones who have been with us for many months.

 I asked Linda to stand still, so I could take her picture.  Here is one of her "cute" smiles.  We were still in the underwater tube before you enter the actual aquarium.  This was unusual; to get Linda to pose.  She usually stops me or runs away and hides.  This time, she actually posed and made a great face.  The elders all got in as "students" for 28 Sing dollars.  We went up to get the "senior" discount and really did well.  It also is $28, but the man only charged us $25 each, because he didn't have any change.  The elders were "ticked off".  It pays to be old!

 This giant tube of a fish tank went up a number of stories.  It was amazing and quite beautiful. 
You were able to walk all the way around the tube as hundreds of different kinds of fish swam by.  All around the giant tube, you could see other fish tanks of sharks, jelly fish, manta rays, sea horses and even a petting zoo area.  You could put your hand into the water and pet the fish in the tank or rub your hand over the star fish and other sea creatures.  Pretty neat!  The elders couldn't wait to play with the slimy fish.

Within this ship, you went into a place with wooden benches and a huge movie screen.  A short video would play, telling the story of Chinese trade fisherman years ago.  Suddenly, a storm begins to form and the room turns into a simulated "typhoon".  It was a riot.  The lightning starts to flash and thunder claps.  The wooden benches move and then the wind comes up and a water mist hits you while the storm rages.  Finally, a harder rain begins while you're sitting there.  For a few minutes, you really felt like you were in a typhoon.  It was fun and wet!

When you enter the aquarium, you walk through a long underwater tube of all sorts of fish and sea life.  When you complete the aquarium tour, you again walk through a long underwater tunnel, except this time it is filled with all sorts of sharks.  It was awesome.  We asked a passerby to take our picture in the tube.  The elders are all wearing their "manta ray" hats.  Linda and I tried to be more mature and not wear our hats during the picture taking.  It was a fun day in Singapore with our missionaries before our Zone and Senior Conference.
