So yes first full week in Malaysia. Pretty insane.
-So they don't have toilets here really they are called
squatters. Basically its a hole in the ground so you just squat and yeah.. also
they have hoses instead of toilet paper. Toilet paper is very hard to buy or
find here.
-Everyone here loves american people like honestly its cool,
you walk through the shoplits and everyone looks at you like you are a
celebrity. Pretty wild. And then they love you even more when they find out you
can speak Chinese everyone is shocked about that..
Well I guess kind of speak Chinese, it is still really hard
to understand but it is coming along slowly.
-Also here they have this huge roundabouts bigger than
anything I've ever seen. It's like a freeway that goes around in a circle.
Anyways we have to try and navigate them on a bike. It's insane. It's like a
video game honestly. One of the scariest things I have ever done in my life
hands down.
-They also have the biggest intersections I have ever seen.
The lights count down from ten so everyone will jump start the lights and so it
feels like mario cart honestly (shoutout to LCA where we played mario cart like
champs) There are like mortocycles of every kind some bikes so scooters some
trucks some regular cars it really feels like mario cart start, unreal.
-So we don't knock on doors here, you knock on people's
gates that's just how all the houses work here.
-Also this week I had some of the grossest food ever. They
have the weirdest fruits here. I can't even describe it. They have this one
called durian that they sell out in the middle of the road because it smells so
bad they can't put it anywhere else. But people somehow like it. I can attest
to how bad it smells it is unreal.
-Also they put all these dried fish with the heads and tails
in all your food. Was not ready to eat crunchy fish bones, eyes and head and
all.
- We have 3 main investigators right now. 2 of them should
be baptized in the next three weeks or so.
-One of our investigators told us we were going to die
because the last elders called him too much. Kinda scary, planning on staying
away from him. But we built a cement wall for him in his back yard. That was
quite the experience because we didn't really know how to do cement work but we
kind of just made it up as we went along and it turned out not too bad.
-We still run every morning and workout every night which is
good. Also our zone loves basketball and so every p-day we play as a district.
这个星期是很棒的还有很多是人间再kuching但是我真备好了来帮助别的人该别扭他们的生后与帮助他们别扭的更好的人
(I said that this week was awesome and we still have a lot
of time left in kuching but I am ready to help people change their lives and
become better people.)
I'll end with a spiritual thought. Sometimes it is hard to
understand why we need Christ but if we think about the atonement it helps.
This is one of my favorite videos to watch as I try and remember the atonement.
We have been sharing it with people.
And then think about what he has done for you. When you have
felt his presence in your life. I know his presence is real. I know it.
And then watch this video to bring it home :)
Love you all,
