Renee' Sees her first Cockroach !

hi family!
this last week was very eventful. number one, last week i got four flat tires! one on Sunday, one on Tuesday, one on Thursday, and one on Saturday. crazy town. two in the front and two in the back. and i know what all of you bikers are thinking, and i did check for nails and such in the tire. turns out the back tire had a pretty big hole that was causing some problems, but that i couldn't really do anything about. but then i found a spare tire laying around, so i put that on yesterday, and so far, so good, no flat tires. but now my brakes are all messed up, somehow i cant get them 'perfectly aligned' when i put the stupid tire on. gears and brakes just make life more difficult, (can i hear a holla for fixed gear?) but this bike has done pretty good by me so far, so I'm not complaining. in other news, we also moved this week, the elders moved out of their apartment, and we moved in because it is closer to our area. menjigitkan. which means disgusting. that apartment was so dirty, but we spent a morning cleaning, and now it looks a lot better. (the only problems now are getting hot water and bugs, i saw my very first cockroach in Malaysia in this apartment) but we do live by both of the senior couples, which is awesome, sometimes they make us dinner when we come home, and they let us use their computer for email, woot woot!

but enough about that. missionary work is doing really good too. we were teaching these two girls, Nancy and Florence. they work at the mall, and we were going to drop them because they hardly have any time to see us, and they couldn't get work off on Sunday. so out of the blue yesterday, on our way to lunch, we got a call from Florence, and she wanted us to come over and teach. so we said, okay, sure. we went over, it was a good lesson (we taught it at the mall, in the food court) we asked them again about church, and for some reason, now they can come, take work off for a few hours. we were so surprised, we seriously were about to drop them, and they just blew us out of the water. they are so cool, they gave us free Milo (which is delicious, sort of a mix between nesquick and hot chocolate) and they are excited to come to church and have us over and everything. awesome!

so yeah, kuching is doing good. missionary work is going, like it always does, i don't know where the time goes. sister richey has almost been home for four months now, and she is getting married in September! and sister petty goes home next week, and sister seve two weeks after that. dang, my companions don't stay around for long after i am done with them. we will see about this next one..

but i love you family, i'm always thinking about you, good luck to Tracy about the bar, the last day is today, right? love you family!
