Hey everyone, sorry i havent written in a while. I guess i will make a bit of a new years resolution to write some more. anyway, I got transferred (kind of) to a new area called Klang. Its about an hour outside of KL, and we are just opening the area. There has never been fulltime missionaries here before. And there is just a new group starting. (smaller than a branch). So, it has been a little interesting trying to get things going. We had to get a new apartment, and get the whole thing outfitted, and good for missionaries to live in for the next couple years. Anyway, that has been going well. Also, i havent sent any pictures for quite a while, so i sent some pictures that have been taken in the past month. Things have been really great lately, and things have been falling in to place with meeting new people. And also, this new area is a lot more like east malaysia than Subang (my last area) was. Its pretty much all malay speaking, and we are only really teaching people that are native to east malaysia. SO its pretty cool that i get to be in this area opening it up. ANyway, i sent some pictures of some events that have happened. The picture of the baptism..That is Andika. He is only 9 years old, and his whole family is members, but he was not baptised at 8 becuase they have been innactive for about 5 years or so. So we have been reactivating them for the past while, and things have been going very well. Even when i was in Subang, we would come all the way to Klang and teach Andika and his family. SO i have already been working with them for about 4 months or so. And in that 4 months i think they have only missed church twice. Im so happy to have them become active again. Now we are trying to set their sights on the temple.
The guy with the baby- That is Eddy and his little daughter Cindy. Eddy is Andikas uncle. He is brothers with Andikas mom. Andikas mom is Yeni, and her husband (andikas dad) is Hendrik. They are a close family, and they are very cool. I spend a lot of my time with them. And the cool part is, is that i know Yeni's and Eddy's other siblings becuase they live in Tawau. Another one of my old areas. Anyway, that is most of the pictures is with Yeni, and Hendrik, and their family. There is one picture of a different family. With the little girl in it. That was a family that we only met this week, but we have been back to his house twice, and things seem to be going well with him. His name is Ahlin. ANd im hoping that he will continue to learn. Anyway, ill get better about writing everyone weekly, and i will try to have more pictures as well. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a good new year. These are the last few days of my black year. The year where i spend every waking day of that year as a missionary. ALL of 2012 i spent wearing a nametag. Pretty cool. Weird to me that its almost over. I remember last new years when i was in Sibu. haha. ANyway, catch up with everyone next week. Love you all.
