WEEK #72 - No Need for an Umbrella when it's Raining Blessings

YES I AM STILL PICKY:

I believe someone can change a lot on the mission. We can change physically, spiritually, emotionally, and many more "ly's". Being picky is still one of my attributes (yes, I meant to say attributes).

I still don't like:
-onions
-anything spicy
-cream cheese
-sour cream
-spaghetti squash (my mom ruined this one forever)
-BUTTER
-FISH: ANY TIME DON'T EVEN TRY TO NAME A TYPE JUST ALL


Iban tiesssssss

These week was different than any other!!

On monday we were treated like kings. Remember that really nice lady who owns a mall, has met missionaries before, and gave us free food? Well, there was a restaurant that just barely opened up and she said we could come and try some stuff for free. At least, that's what we expected would happen. When we sat down and looked at the menu, she said. "Now boys, you can be as GREEDY as you want. Don't be shy." How can one be shy after a command not to? Elder Cox, Elder Teng and I were not greedy. Let me tell you the bill and what she ordered FOR us:
Drinks: RM36. 40
Iceream: RM 10.20
Banana Bread: RM 17.40
Cake: RM 37.96
Garlic bread: RM6.50
Mushroom soup: RM 25.50
Salad: RM 44.7
Shakes: RM26.7
Ribeye Steak: RM166.50

 KINGS

 & King's Food

Yup. Like I said, kings! The total bill was RM371. 86. 1 US dollar is 4 ringgit(RM). So the meal was 92.96$. In Malaysia that is very very very very expensive. She has such a kind heart!

Tuesday was my favorite and less favorite day on my mission. The Chinese elders are moving into our house, and the Chinese sisters are moving into the Chinese elders house. So guess what we were in charge of cleaning? The Chinese elders house. Guess how long it took? Let's look at the schedule ya?
Tuesday: 7pm-12am
Wednesday: 12am-1:41am, 6:00am-10:00am.

Around 11 hours of JUST cleaning! We threw away so so so much stuff. Examples? I'm not sure you want to know. Ok fine I'll tell you a couple:
1. Potatoes (6 months ago)
2. Underwear (9 months ago)
3. Rusted silverware (don't even know)

Gear to clean the Elders house

JUNK

It felt relieving walking out of that house. I hope the Sisters knew the blood, sweat, and tears we shed for that place!

Elder McArthur, one of the Chinese Elders, suddenly had an appendicitis. He has had to stay home. Elder Cox, Elder Hong (the other Chinese elder), and I have to keep rotating each day to stay home. I'm getting a little envious not being able to talk to people but it's good to get some extra studies in :)

We made breakfast for everyone! Home made pancakes and syrup.

Candle lit breakfast! 

The rest of the week was a mix of many things! We found a family (which is something so exciting) and they ended up not being interested anymore that same week.

The youth had an activity at the church. We taught them all of the fun American ball games (wall ball, 500, volleyball circle, and four square). They caught on pretty quick!

On Sunday we received a Christmas present from one of our members. They gave us an Iban Tie! It's a special fabric only made in Sarawak. Way way nice of them!

Love you all, have a great week!
