This week was kinda different becuase we had district conference in a place thats about 12 hours from Tawau. So we went there. To Kota Kinabalu. aka KK. We went there a couple days early to have a little adventure time, and we climbed mount Kinabalu, the largest peak in all of southeast asia. I dont think there is a whole lot of mountain in this region of the world, so i im not sure "the biggest peak in all of southeast asia" really means a whole lot. But i had a ton of fun hiking the mountain. I discovered that i am already an old man becuase when i was done with the hike, my knees had pretty much given out, and i could barley walk. So im gonna go see a doctor about that. My knees have been bothering me a lot lately.
That was about all that happened this past week. Just got everyone ready for conference, and helped the church get everything all settled. Helped people get the things they needed to go, and everything. But even though we were only in our area for 3 days this week, there were still miracles....we got 11 new investigators!!!
thats absolutley amazing for this area. Wayyyy crazy. anyway ill tell one cool story.
About a couple of week ago, we contacted this guy names Matius at a gas station. He said that he was willing to learn about the church, and he gave us his cell phone number to contact him. We called him a few days later to set up an appointment. He said that he would be willing to meet at the end of the week (a few weeks ago) but it ended up never happening. So we were kinda bummed about that, and really wanted to meet him. One day last week, we decided to go knock some doors. but we werent exactly sure where. Me and elder odriscoll road to a place where i decided to stop. We locked our bikes up and go knock on the first door that we see. Turns out that she is christian! which is a amazing! anyway, she asked us if we knew Matius. and we told her yes. It was kinda of weird that she asked us about him. But it turns out that she was his wife!!! and she is willing to learn too. And we met his kids. So, even though he could meet that day, the gospel still had a way of finding him one way or another! haha. The very first door we knocked was his house. It was amazing. way awesome. We went on to get 5 more investigators that day! it was a miracle!
