can't. compute. overload. of. emails. received.

family! email day was the best today! all these emails from brothers and sisters all over the world, greedy for their postcard from Borneo. haha, just kidding, i am happy to oblige.

i feel like i have so much to tell you, but i can't fit it all in! missionary work is the best because, sometimes you are just happy all the time, for no special reason. wake up happy, go to bed happy. go around all day talking to people, having appointments fall through, visiting people. it is the best! and last month went by so fast, i can't believe march is practically over. that leaves me really worried for April. oh well, what is coming is coming.

last night i talked to sister lim on the phone, she was telling me everything that is going on in Kuching. one really exciting thing is that this lady, Lidia, is getting baptized. Lidia lives in an area that we rarely go, it is very far and there is only one family of members who are active. but a few weeks before i got transferred we started going there. that one member family, the mom's name is truni, all of her brothers and sisters are baptized except for one. the first day we went there we met truni at the house of the non member, set up an appointment to come back. me and sister lim taught her, Lidia, once, and she came to church for the first time on my last Sunday in kuching. then the area split, and the elders started teaching her, and now she is getting baptized! isn't that so awesome, i was so happy when i heard that. it is really cool to have part in the start of the story, and then to hear the happy ending. she is probably the first person to be baptized in that area in years. so exciting!

some other exciting news, a boy from the branch here in KK just got his mission call. everyone thought that he would get called here, because most locals are called to this mission. but guess what? he is going to the salt lake city south mission! we can't believe it! he is our branch mission leader now. later, when I'm home i could help them out with their investigators! he is really excited, he actually really wanted to go to Utah. i can't believe he is really going there.

and I'm also really excited for Trent's mission papers, keep me updated, do you think he'll get his call while I'm on my mission? I'm praying that he will get sent here, but anywhere in Asia is cool too.

well , that is about all for today. thanks family, for always reading my emails and letting me be your little sister. i love you!
