Borneo, Malaysia

I is hard to believe I am in the city of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo that is part of Malaysian regin that is located on the equator line, so it is evry warm here. I am in my new hotel room at the Klagan Rengency, and it is awesome. It is on the tenth floor of a 19 story hotel. And it has a great view of the countryside and mountains in the distance looking east with a few other highrises and some large Muslim masque nestled in the forest. My room is over 30' long by 15' wide with wood planking floor, and the bathroom is very large too with a walk-in shower and large tile flooring. It has a king size bed. There is also a prayer mat in the closet to be used for only that purpose. I have a large 50" tv that shows country scenes from around the world when it is not on. which is nice to look at. There is also laundry service avalable, which I really needed, but it is not cheap. I got to talk to the night manager at the other hotel, The Ming Garden, before leaving and we discussed the reason why I was leaving and he apologized for the high price I had to pay for the first three nights, but he was not allowed to match online bookings prices I had seen apon my arrival at the airport. However, it did motivate me the next day to look elsewhere, which led me to this hotel for $45 per night. Although, it did cost me $65 per night initially, for the first three night. The manager very find and helped me move my luggage from my room, called a taxi for me, and helped put them in the trunk of the car when it got there. We parted on very good terms, which I am very thankful for and blessed him. I can't believe things just keep getting better in every country I go to. I am so very blessed. It also rained the first four days in Borneo, but the weather has inproved since then. I have enjoyed getting the breakfast buffets at the last few hotels I have stayed at. They offer a varity of food I really miss and enjoy. I also get to experience new dishes. However, this hotel is eatra special because it is right next to a very large four story shapping mall that goes back over a thousand feet long, called the Hyermall. It also has a supermarket inside where I can buy extra food, and there is also an ATM next to it, that really help me during my stay here. Yesterday I walked all over the first two floors, just to see what was there and meeting lots of people. I had one very special event happen when I first got there. There were two very young children in front of me as I was walking and the young girl, about 4 or 5 years old, came up to me and took my right hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of it, and then gave me a big smile. Wow, that really surprised and humbled me. I blessed her and her brother. It will be interesting to see what will happen while I'm here since it's been a while since I stayed in a country for three months. Borneo is a beautiful country with beautiful people if you look online and check it out. It seem to be the only way I really get to travel in these countries God send me to. But I am not here to be a tourist, I'm a son of God, with a messsage from His heart to declare to the people and over the nation. And I am so blessed and honored to serve in whatever way I can.

My trip to Bali

Wow, I can't believe I'm now in a Muslim country,amazing what God is doing with me. When I was back in Papua New Guinea I was wondering how things could get better for me, because I am so blessed in each new country I go to not knowing anything about it when I get there or where I will be living. But the plane flight here seemed to set the mood that good things were going to happen, thank God. The travel agency at the Brisbane airport booked me in a hotel for two days, which she thought would be very nice and inexpensive. But when I got there it was better than anything I could imagine and even cheaper when I checked the currency rate compared to the American dollar..It's unbelievable, about $30 each night. The place is called the Champlung Mas Hotel & Spa Ruta. My room is on the top fourth floor. and where my bed is is about 12x25 feet with large windows that look out to other hotels and a small community of typical houses with pointed roofs sandwiched in between and some trees and palms. Plus it has a large balcony that I can go out on through a double door. The bathroom is very large with a six foot tub and a separate shower stall. All the flooring is in large 15" cream colored tile. I also have a small refrigerator, TV, and excellent wifi access.The Asian staff is all Balian and very respectful and always greet me with a bow and praying hand gesture. They also offer a free breakfast buffet that is incredible, with fruit, pastries and about ten hot dishes, and it varies every morning. I really enjoy it as I stuff myself for my main meal for the day and then I have some ramen noodles late at night that I make with the coffee maker. and put in a coffee cup. It rained a lot yesterday but later I was able to go out and take a long walk on level ground with narrow, busy streets, when it stopped raining. The streets are crowded with small business shops and people smiling and sitting outside trying to encourage me and others to come in and buy something. However, it is still lonely sitting in my room most of my day trusting and waiting on God and watching some news and videa= on my laptop, I have not watched the TV yet because it is not very big and it is at the other end of my room. The hindu taxi driver who brought me here, has taken me shopping a couple times to buy food and help me find poor people to give money too He also told me he had a young nephew boy that was handicaped and I gave him money for the boy and told him that God would heal him. On my last day in Bali, the taxi man took me to the airport and help me get my luggage to the booking area, and before he left had a man take our picture together with his phone and then we gave each other a big hug goodbye. He also gave me his email address and asked to stay in touch. God is goinng to really bless that man and his family. It is people like him and make my mission worth while, plus knowing Abba Father is answering all my prayers for the people and country, like Bali
