Im glad that i got the chance to skype most of you while it was mothers day, and the day after for some of you. But it was wayy cool to be able to talk to you all and hear how everyone is doing.
Anyway, this week was pretty eventful. A lot of fun. But literally the most sucessful week of my mission i think. I taught the most amount of lessons that ive ever taught in a week, and also, had a ton of people at church. Transfers are coming up soon, and im thinking that i might get transfered from tawau in abotu 3 weeks, so ive been trying as hard as i can to prepare all the people we have right now for baptism. ANd hopefully get about 4 of them baptised before transfers happen. Just in case i leave. But not only was it great for missionary work, i had a lot of fun.
Last week for p-day we went to this cool jungle place to walk around. and go on hikes. The pictures of me on the vines is from there. It was pretty cool to actually swing on vines. I guess the true tarzan in me came out. I have some video of me swinging on them, but video is hard to send over email.
Also, last week, i finally got that sword from the iban guy.So i attatched some pictures of him and me, and the sword and everything. Anyway, but when i bought it from the guy, i got to heard a little more of the story about it. ANd its way cool. I guess he has had the wood from this sword all carved for about 40 years now. ANd hasnt done anything with it. And the wood that you see that is white, that is actually bone. Its bone from a jungle dear that he killed bowhunting in the jungle about 45 years ago. We're talking about a little jungle man killing a dear with a homemade bow. Thats way cool. Anyway, and all the bone on the sword comes from the same animal. Dont worry, i got him on film telling the story where everything comes from. I think this might be the coolest souvenier that i will be able to get on my mission. And not only cool, it comes with a way cool story too.
Also this week, we went to a place about an hour and a half outside of tawau called semporna. Its a fancy tourist place, with a lot of cool stuff to see. So i just got back from that yesterday. Thats the pictures of me holding up the crab and stuff. And a picture in front of all those stairs.
So ya, this week was great all around, and i am super glad that i could talk with everyone. I guess ill write you all next week!!
Also, i forgot to add, there is that picture of me right next to that monkey. When we were in semporna (that tourist city) we went out to eat, and this place had monkeys just roaming around all over the place. People will bring bread and stuff and feed the monkeys. Just like you would feed the ducks at story book island. haha. Anyway, these monkeys were not afraid of us at all. And they seem completely harmless. That is until, they feel threatened. And so i kept messing with this monkey to try and get closer to it for a closer picture. And it started to bear its teeth at me a lot. And they werent small teeth. But i didnt care. I just kept messing with it. So....i was behind it, trying to get a good picture, and it looked back at me a few times, and then attacked!!!! hahaha. it was crazy! it just up and out at me with its teeth all beared, but i jumped up too, and it didnt get me. but the monkeys hand hit my shirt. it was pretty crazy and definatley scared me. They seem all nice and playful until the wanna bite your head off. haha. anyway, i thought i would add that little story to go with the pictures...
