This week was awesome, and it also made me just appreciate the area I am in more and more.
We
are still having a rough time with illness! It's either me or my
companion that gets sick and it's just a continuous cycle of us getting
sick. It's getting a little ridiculous, but I think now we are both
okay. :)
So
this last Monday we had a pretty chill evening. We went to the top of
the hill that you can see everything. It's a really cool sight and we
watched the sun go down at 6:30 like it does every day of the year. Very
beautiful sight! :) We brought some ice cream with us which was a bad
idea, but delicious. The hill almost killed us because it is soooo
steep.
This
week we went finding in an area that we thought would have some good
potential. We found a really awesome family that is from the Kenya tribe
here in Malaysia. It consists of a bunch of relatives, and we taught
them on Sunday about the Restoration. We asked if they would come to
church and then they were like "Yes, of course I want to come!" and then
we later asked them if they would be baptized if they knew all of this
was true and they were like "Sure! Let's do it!" So we now have 6 new
investigators! Bam. I'll talk about them all more later when I get to
know them better.
The
downside is that we have a district conference in Park City so we can't
necessarily bring them to church cuz they have no way of
transportation.... Bah! :P
Evelyn
is doing well. :) We are about half way done teaching her. Continually
coming to church. She was sick this week so we gave her a blessing and she
got better within a day or two. :)
Chinese new year was this week, which was actually not very fun...Everybody
went back to their kampung where all of their family stays, gets drunk,
etc etc. (not the members but everybody else) So it was virtually
impossible to meet with anybody because everybody was gone. There were
some ups to it though. The fireworks were super super awesome. We went
to bed at 11 and then BAM fireworks all around the area. I have a video
of it so I will show it later when I get home. :)
Then
for the 31st, it was Elder Ormsby's and my 6 month mark, plus we couldn't
make any appointments with anybody cuz everyone was gone, so we went to
Similajau beach. It was supppper awesome. Very beautiful there. That's
why I now appreciate my area better. It's not just a trash place, but
it has gorgeous scenery too. :)
After
the Chinese new year, we had some cleaning to do so we got rid of our
garbage the way everybody else does it - BURN IT!!! in our front yard.
It was pretty fun, but there were some spiders in the boxes we burnt, so
it scared me to pick them up.
Speaking of
spiders, spiders have been coming into our house a lot more lately, both
small and big. I have killed quite a few just with my shower hose
lately, so showering is not as fun as it used to be. Haha. :D Just
kidding. Dad asked if I was a spider slayer now. Yes I am a spider slayer but I'm still scared to sleep at night because you never know who is in bed with you. :P
This
morning we went to play futsal with quite a few of the members. It was a
lot of fun to play with them, although I'm not very good at it. :)
Still need to practice. It was a very hot day to do it though, but a lot
of people have a day off of work so we had our recent convert, Lipson
come. Futsal is basically just like soccer, except its in a small caged
outside court that's about as big as our basketball court in our chapel. It has boundaries though so if it goes out then you loose the ball, just
like basketball.
And...as
for this week, we have our mission president coming for district
conference which should be fun. Although I have no idea how we are going
to get a ride there because vans don't go out late at night. Hooray for
hitch hiking! :D :D
Love you all, have an awesome week.
