So this has definatley been a very eventful week for me. A pretty hard one. So we got transfer news on Friday. And i figured out that i was getting transferred to miri, sarawak as a zone leader . And that i had to leave tawau by monday. So, needless to say, i was very sad about leaving tawau, and it was really hard on me. It still is. I really miss it there, and i feel like i left my family there. I will miss everyone so much, and i dont really feel like they can be replaced. But i need to just try and keep working hard and do my best here.
I have a new companion, and ive only been with him for a couple days, but i can already see that things are going to be really great with him. His name is Elder Christian and he is from nebraska. Its cool because we have the same type of work ethic and everything. and so i know we will do a lot of work. Im not sure what i think of the whole zone leader thing. I thought it was kinda fast, but apparetly the mission president thinks i am ready. That makes me the youngest zone leader in the mission. so i guess we'll see how that goes.
I had a perfect end to everytihng in Tawau. we had a baptism on the last saturday that i was there. Her name is Paulina. She is Indonesian, and shes way great. She is super faithful, and very sensative to the spirit. She had to work on the sunday after her baptism, and so we were afraid that she couldnt get to church to be confirmed. But she just left her work to come to church. She said that she didnt care about the problems it would cause. She understood the importnace of everything. it was great to see that sacrifice from her.
So about the pictures-
the picture with me and all the people at church. those are all my recent converts that i have had in tawau. they are the best. 2 are missing from the picture.
the picture with me and all the rock looking kids- just some kids that we met on the bus that apparently have no idea thats its not the year 1985 anymore.
the picture with me and the guys grom church-thats just some of the youth and young adults from tawau. they are way cool. im gonna miss them.
and then there is the picture from paulinas baptism.
the sunset- thats the evening of the last baptism i had in tawau. thats the view of the ocean from the church.
Anyway, thats about all from this week,
dont forget to write me is you can!
