Crash and Orangutan City

hey family.

it sounds like things are still going full force over there in America, lots of people visiting las Vegas, del taco nights at one thirty and lots of granite counter tops. you sure know how to make a girl miss home. just kidding, things are going really well over here, too. we thought we wouldn't have anyone at church on Sunday, and we were pretty bummed about it. but i called up this referral i got from an elder, i called her up at 12, told her church was at one thirty, and she came and brought four kids! we met her yesterday, her name is Anita, she is from Indonesia. she is really cool, and learned from elders before. I'm not sure why she never got baptized, but she is super willing to learn and come to church and everything, so i am not complaining. and we have a couple of other families that we are excited about. one is brand new, Reni and Tedong, and their son Sylvester Stallone. (we thought his name was just boy for a long time, but apparently, its not, its sylvester, awesome) we taught them for the first time just yesterday, and Tedong, the dad, was really into it, and even prayed at the end of the lesson. in my other areas, we never really got the chance to teach families together like that, and it is awesome, the best kind of teaching. so i really hope things work out for them.

today we also got the chance to go see the orangutan wildlife part. it only cost three ringgit, which is one dollar, and it was totally worth it. huge orangutans, moms, and little babies, and little ones practically doing cartwheels on the rope, it was so cool. so i highly recommend it if any of you are in the kuching way.

what else? oh, me and sister lim are not the best combination. it turns out we both tend to get into a lot of accidents. sister lim fell on her bike going down this hill, and the next day, we were crossing the street, this barrier in the middle with dirt and rocks, and i stepped in this huge hole, and got cut on my leg. it was a tiny little cut, but it bled sort of a lot, I'm going to try to send you the picture we took. but yesterday, I'm happy to report, neither of us had any accidents, and counting today, that is two days already, its a good start.

so i love you family, and have a great nother week, enjoy the cold weather, haha.

love, sister Harrison

PS. did you know orangutan is the only English word from Malay, orang is person and hutan is jungle, have i told you that before? just a little trivia for all the Harrison's out there

PPS in the accident picture the cut is the tiny dot on my leg, the blood just ran down into my shoe, and that is why my foot is bloody. gross slash awesome
