So as
far as my week goes, we started out by playing ping pong with our zone
at the church on Monday. That night we went to go see a family that I
haven't been to for a while. The youth usually comes to church, but the
mother hasn't been much, so I thought it'd be nice to visit them. Turns
out their daughter was sick, and the mom wanted us to come over anyway
to bless her.
Then on Wednesday we
had a huge birthday party at the church for a member's bday. On
Thursday, we had another bday party for another member in the afternoon,
and then the Gawai party on Thursday night. Turns out that Brother
Pulver, one of the MTC teachers (not mine but Elder Ormsby's teacher)
came to visit Bintulu and the rest of his areas. He picked the best time
to come, Gawai!
Friday we cleaned up
the church, cuz it was pretty messy after the Gawai party. Then that
night we went to see Bujang's family. At the end of the lesson, I asked
who was good at the guitar, and Bujang's son Ronald, played I am a child
of God as we sang. It was a fun little experience for us. :)
On Saturday, I went
to the Salleh's and just had a good conversation with them about
missionary work and the importance of finding your own testimonies.
Also
we started making a map for the area, because it'd be nice for new
elders to be able to see who lives where on a nice clean map. That night
we taught our younger recent converts for a little while.
Sunday night we met
another less active family we had never met before. They've come to
church for the last 2 weeks, and when we went, we found that some of
them are not baptized, so we might be able to work with their family some
more. There's a lot of potential in that family. If we can get them all
to come, we could have at least 10 more members come to church. That
would be really awesome.
Anyway, that's been my week. :) Love you guys. Enjoy life, okay? :)
