Ch Ch Ch Changes

hello mom and dad, family, everyone else
kuching is doing really good. Our baptism on Saturday was so good. Dorina, one of the ladies, when she got up to bear her testimony, she couldn't even speak, and you could feel the spirit so strong, and then i found a scripture that was perfect for her, read mosiah 4.20, it is way cool. and this week is going really good so far, on Monday, we met with some people who have a baptism date, one was the husband of Bingot, the other lady that got baptized. he is super cool, but he works all the time. he gets home from work around five, and that's usually when we meet him, for twenty minutes or so, then he goes and sleeps for a couple of hours and goes to work again at eight. He works security all night, and comes home in time to go to his day job. he only gets two hours of sleep a night! he has Sundays off from his day job, and he said he could come to church for an hour. i hope he can, that family really needs their dad with them.

so, next week sister seve leaves me.. and i don't get a new companion for a whole week! can you believe that? so I've been trying to find people i can go out with. there is a sister here, sister hellen, who is leaving on a mission in September, (she is actually serving in this mission, maybe later we'll be companions?..) and so she can go out with me after she gets home from work some days, so that only leaves the afternoons, and Bingot said she could help me too. when i first heard I'd be alone, i thought, awesome. a whole week of missionary work the hard way. but now i think it will be fine and it will probably help hellen a lot, and I'm sure it will help me a lot too. and when i finally get a companion again, I'll be super happy and grateful.

so, I'm alone for a week, and then on Sunday, on the 22nd, every single missionary from this mission is going into Singapore, for brand new training, and that is where I'll pick up my new companion. apparently, they are making a lot of changes, and switching things up, the whole way they train missionaries is going to be different. so its kind of exciting, and a five days in Singapore to boot. its coming at the perfect time too, me a brand new trainer with a brand new companion, who will be super pumped for missionary work, i have a feeling this is going to be a really good thing. i have a new testimony about trials and about doing hard things. heavenly father wants us to do things that are hard for us, he wants us to become better than we are. and we can. i read this in a talk by Elder Holland --I testify that bad days come to an end, that faith always triumphs, and that heavenly promises are always kept-- faith always triumphs. anyway, fam fam i love you a lot. say hi to everyone for me! i love you!
love, sister Harrison
