This week has been interesting and pretty great. We are still in the process of getting the church started here. The chapel is almost ready to open, and we are contacting a lot of people. As of now, our group is going to consist of about 20 people of so. So on an average sunday we will probably have a little less than that. Anyway, the opening day for the group in the new chapel (which is tiny) should be on January 20. And that will be great, so all these people we have been contacting can actually come to church!
Anyway, this week we contacted a lot of flats. They are pretty much just super ghetto apartment buildings. And we got a few new people that are interested in the church. They are Ibans from east malaysia. So it was fun busting out the Iban that i leaned while i was in sarawak, and i was able to speak their language with them a bit. I think they will be pretty good investigators. But we will just have to see. Also, this week, my bike will finally get here from Miri. I havent used a bike in about 4 months becuase in KL we just took busses everywehre. But now that i am in KLang we need bikes. And we didnt know that we were going to need bikes until we had been here for about a week or so. So my bike is getting sent from the last area that i used it. It will be nice to have. And hopefully will make the work a bit smoother.
Anyway, thats about it for this week! I attached a picture of that Iban family that we met, and also, a picture with some random malay kids that maybe have never met a white person before. If you look at the kid on the left...above his should you can see there is "tawau" written on the wall. He is kinda covering it up thou. I love tawau!! haha
