First Transfer in Malaysia
Friends and Family Hello!
This week was good one, it's crazy to think that a full transfer is over, now everyone in my district waits here to see where everyone goes or stays! So here's goes the highlights of the week!

I got to be a Chinese Elder when the district leader went on exchanges with E Yang my comp. So I learned my Chinese for the day and experienced that, which was fun. I had no idea what anyone was saying but it's a good thing I'm good at reading emotions and tones and figuring out what they are saying! We found some ripe coconuts on our way home and we were pretty thirsty so I climbed up and grab a couple, we opened 'em up and they were good! Haha, cool experiences but I missed Elder Yang. 

Later in the week we headed to one of our members homes. they own the monkey that I always play with...but it seems like they acquire new animals every week! They house is a zoo! So we got to play with their cats, dogs, chicks, worms, and whatever else they had! They have the cutest little cat but it's leg got mangled by the monkey, way sad, but he's still adorable! We have these Sego worms as pets now, they are the grossest things. But, their house is always a blast!
 
Towards the end of the week we did a lot to help the Chinese Elders move out of their apartment and into their new house! I packed this truck so high with all this furniture with all my truck loading skills, it was sketchy but we did it! Way fun to do some service and help those guys out!
 
 
I have the lucky opportunity of having a professional barber as a companion. He got sponsored to travel the US and teach classes and what not, so I get the freshest cuts in all of Malaysia! Anyways not a lot this week, just some fun experiences and some missionary work! Lovin' it here in Sibu and I'm becoming apart of the people even though I'm still this huge white kid in a white shirt and tie! Miss you all!

Elder Thompson  (or "Tong Chung Lao") that's my Chinese name, it's official
