WEEK #71 - Only in Malaysia

HABITS THAT HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE BEING ON THE MISSION:

1. I still clean. A lot. Every missionary house I go to is a major project. Very nice.
2. I still get scared to turn off the lights downstairs.
3. I still use lotion
4. I still can burp really loud and say things as I am burping.
5. I still give a nice "Yee Hawwww" when I am pumped about something
Nothing has really changed!!


Technically I am CAPTAIN MALASYA

Dis week was goooooood.

For Monday we did a deeeeeeeeeeeeep clean of our house. It looks very very nice. Lots of random things thrown away. It looked like someone moved into the house, everything still out of place, a monkey got in and wrecked everything, and then Elder LaRose cleaned and organized haha. Good or not, I'm not sure. Come check it out!

When cleaning gets intense. 

The 13th was my father's birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!!! 48 seems like too big of a number :{ He still looks and acts young! I am grateful for his perfect example of what a father, coach, tutor, and house janitor, antler hunter partner, and Priesthood holder looks like ;). Love you Dad!

1. When you meet the owner of a mall who met missionaries before and gave is ice-cream, fries, cookies, breads, drinks, and cake!! A luxury in Malaysia. Very kind of her. Only in Malaysia can you find yam & coconut, and corn flavored ice cream!!

This is a traditional native baby holder. I wish my mom would've made something like this!

Brother Bilong is doing ok. He is struggling with following a couple of the commandments. One question that really left him pondering was, "What are you willing to sacrifice to have an eternal family?"

We tried knocking on this house. Just cause. They weren't interested. Still a really nice house. 

Snipers snipe'd us!!

You do anything to keep the kids under control in a lesson. The fave expressions really help. 

Thursday was pretty fun. We did a "zone blitz," meaning that every companionship in the zone goes to a certain companionship's area and helps them. It was finding the whole day! I went with Elder McArthur from the chinese area. We had some funny contacts. When we stopped this one man in the street, he said, "MY CHURCH IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!" We tried to explain what we believe but he kept walking away and saying "no, no, no, no, no" until he was halfway across the parking lot hahaha. Funny guy! I'm not sure if he knew which church we were from!




Zone blitz here we gooooo! 

Another guy was playing a video game on his phone. He said he was too busy and didn't have time. I told him to give us 5 seconds to say something. I pulled out my stopwatch and timed Elder McArthur saying "I know God loves you and wants you to listen to this message." Then I said my 5 seconds worth of stuff. We then gave him 5 seconds and in his perfect Malaysian English he said, "I have no time, I play game lah." He said it in 5.07 seconds. He's pretty good!

When it's raining, wear this hat. 

Saturday was a special day. It was the day of Andre's and Aveen's baptism. We met them 5 weeks ago. Talk about prepared!! They will be a wonderful addition to the branch and we can't wait till Andre's wife will be baptized as well! I am so blessed to have Heavenly Father give me this opportunity to help some of His children start on the path back home to Him.

The door of Heaven has opened again :)

Love you all!!
