Hey everyone
Things this week have been pretty good. This week, Janet got confirmed. It was pretty cool becuase there is a kid here in my branch that just got back of his mission from the Phillipines, and so he speaks tagolog. and Janet is pillipino, and so she speaks tagolog too. she speaks english too just fine. But That same kid helped us to teach her, and was super helpful. So when we confirmed her, he was the one that did it, and he did it in Tagolog. It was pretty cool, and really special for her. So janet is coming along very well, and she is super solid. This week was cool for me because i saw janet sitting in church, and she was singing one of the hymns, and she was just sitting there, and she looked completely comfortable and everything. and was just normal at church. LIke she had been a member forever. It was way cool for me.
Also, this week was cool becuase we had the chance to witness "a miracle". haha. Anyway, we heard that there were hundreds of christians all praying at a particular hospital in our area. And we went there to go check it out. ANyway, it was the dumbest thing in the world. Seriously. On a window on the outside of this hospital there was some streaks that vaguely resembled a painting of Mother Mary. ANd so people flocked by the bus load (litteraly) to come to pray to this window. Because it was a MIRACLE that mother mary had appeared in this window. You have got to kidding me!! they were all praying to a steak on a window that they believed was mother mary. ANyway, thats just the perfect example of the type of people that i am around all day. The want to believe that something is true SO BAD, that they make some steaks on a window to be mother mary. and then they pray to it. anyway, so i got a picture of the mother mary, and the hundreds of people there praying to a window. I just dont get how someone can say that some streaks on a window look like mother mary, and then all the sudden HUNDREDS of people flock. and we can go contacting all day, bringing the truth to people, and no one is interested. But EVERYONE wants to go see the "miracle". its just frustrating. ANd also shows me how blinded people are. anyway, but overall, things are really good. I even contacted a guy while we were there. Hahaha. And i gave him a restoration pamphlet. till next week

Anyway, the pictures are of mother mary in the window. The couple hundred people that were there to worship. The candles and the flowers that people brought to worship. and then janet in front of all the people. She thought it was so stupid that they worshipped a window.

Hey everyone-

This week was pretty good. We had a baptism. Her name is Janet and she is Philippino. She is way cool, and we have been teaching her for the past 2 months. So everything went quite well with her progression and everything. It was the first baptism this branch has had in over a year, and so we had to clean out the font pretty well! haha. so that was the reason that i attatched the picture of me sweeping it out. ANyway, also, i got pictures from my birthday a week or two ago. Yes, i got a monster which is awesome! i didnt even know that they had them in malaysia. I have never seen one. And so i freaked out when one of my fellow missionary friends bough one for me. It was way cool.

So we have been working hard. And its just now rainy season! so i got a picture of the rain. its pretty crazy every single day, we get wasted by the rain. its insane. I sometimes dont even wear regular shoes. I just go out in crocs. You kinda have to sometimes becuase your shoes just get destroyed. anyway, the rain has been pretty crazy. Also, i attached a picture of the chapel. That was the attendance that we had for the baptism!!! it was awesome. That was by far the most people i have ever had a baptism, or seen anyone else have. It was so great to have so many people there supporting janet. It was great. The members here are pretty good.....If only they wanted to help with the missionary work.....

So i also put in a picture of me eating dinner with some member. One of the pictures, the one that i am actually in, that is with some Iban members. Which is surpring becuase usually ibans are only in east malaysia. So that was cool that we got with some ibans that were here in west. It was nice becuase i got to feel, for a little bit, like i was back in east malaysia. ALso, the other picture was when i went and ate dinner with some pakistanis! it was seriously so good. and they were wayyyy awesome. i think it was probably the best food that i have had on my mission so far. no joke.

Anyway, things are pretty good, and the work is still going. and we are trying hard to find more and more people to teach. Anyway, until next week-
