Hooray! Our Miri Chapel is completed!

Thursday, 19 January 2006
I was so happy today because I saw the completion of a new building. It was not any ordinary building. It is the first chapel building built in East Malaysia as well as the whole of Malaysia! And in Miri, my birthplace! And it is magnificent and beautiful!

Sister Gloria arranging the chairs yesterday (18 January) afternoon.

The Sacarment hall.

Brother Kevin at the pulpit, that could be adjusted to the speaker's height.

1 Nephi 14:7 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvellous work among the children of men;............................ Yes, a great and marvellous work in Miri.

It took 10 years, from the time the missionaries first came to this town in 1995.

I get so emotional looking at the beautiful chapel pictures! And the chapel looks so much like a "mini" temple, too. The saints in Miri are so blessed. Thank you for sharing.

The other saints here in Malaysia and outside Malaysia share the same feeling. Yes, we are so blessed.
