i just got back from Singapore on Saturday, i have a new companion, (sister lim) and right now i am sort of riding a spiritual high. i remember the first night that my new compie got here, i was praying hard that we would do good, and that i would be okay in training her and finding and teaching people, because i was a little nervous for all the responsibilities of the senior companion. anyway, i just felt a lot of hope, for our area, for the people we were teaching, for missionary work in general, that things even though they might be hard, will turn out good and that we will see a lot of good things happen. so we have just been working hard and i actually really like being a senior companion, go figure. i really like kuching too. we are teaching this one guy, adih. OK, so in my missionary lifetime i have taught a few pretty golden investigators, but i think that adih blows them all out of the water. first, we met him at church, he came with his friend, jepris. he has come every week since that, even when we were in Singapore. the day we were planning to put him on baptismal date, he asked if he could be baptized, and the clincher, we taught him the word of wisdom last night. before, he used to drink and smoke, but he already stopped doing both already. dang, he is awesome. and he told us he has three friends he wants to bring to church! he has to go back to Indonesia in December, but until then he will really be a help to the branch.
anyway, i am really feeling missionary work right now. you remember back when, when i was in KK, i had ups and downs like crazy? well, now it just feels like up all the time. it feels good, and now i know what people are talking about when they say they find joy in the work. i think I've come a long way from when i couldn't imagine how anyone could like doing missionary work. so that is that family, put that in your pipe and smoke it. (is that missionary appropriate? just an expression everyone...)
i love you all so much. keep staying awesome, have a good fall. here the weather never changes, it is really weird. love you,sister Harrison
