We have been in Penang, Malaysia for almost a week now, it is a beautiful island. We love going to new places and finding out more about SE Asia. Today the Malay people voted in an election that is the closest in their history. It i s a hot topic here. In the park today an Indian Muslim lady asked us to pray for her country and this election. So far we don't know the results, though we did just hear some fireworks.
The kids have been doing 'school' and fun from 8:15-5 p.m. while we are in our meetings. This time has been super helpful. We are learning a ton!!! We had today off and tomorrow, which is a great break to spend more time as a family.
We went to a park today that also had some small pools, as well as some not so nice monkeys and at least one huge monitor lizard. It was a beautiful park! Then when half of us returned to our guest house with the littlest kids we were locked out. While the guys were trying to get us in from around the back they saw a small cobra. Yes. A cobra. Needless to say we have had quite a National Geographic day.
Tomorrow we are going to a really nice pool and hope to gear up for one more week here before we return home!
