Sibu Mission Training

hi fam, I'm writing you from the sibu, the city of my birth. we are here for mission training, and it is really weird to be back here. the last time i was here, it was January! insane, it is October right now. mostly everything is the same, same house same church, same email place. weird. time goes by way to fast, and i think i say that in every email.

the conference has been great, getting us really pumped up for work in our area, and it is really cool just to listen to the gospel. we saw (finally) conference last week, and it went by so fast. Anita and ain got baptized last week, and it was a bit of a nightmare, we had ady baptize her, he is our recent convert from September, and it was his first time baptizing, and lets just say that i lost count of the times he had to rebaptize her. at least six or seven. oops. i hope he is not afraid to baptize again, but at least she is baptized, and i don't think she'll forget that one any time soon.

the funniest thing happened on Sunday, we went over to tom's house, we are teaching his family, his niece and nephew are Bianca and martin, i may have mentioned them before. anywho, they never want to pray in the lessons, they are really shy about it, we have been wanting them to pray for at least two weeks now. tom finally prayed at the beginning, and we hardly even had to ask him. it was a really good prayer. so we asked martin to give the closing prayer, and we wrote an outline for a prayer in his book of Mormon, and said he could follow it as he prayed. so he agreed. and basically, translated into english, this is how it went, 'Heavenly Father, speak from your heart..' haha the whole family busted up laughing, even martin. they are such a good family, the only problem is that tom works every Sunday. but, he says after October his job on Sundays is ending, so we are excited for them.

love your favorite little Malaysian,
