'Mukjizat2' (Miracles)

Family and Friends "Nama Berita?!"

I'll just get right into the highlights and the good stuff!

So this week was the beginning of a new transfers, as all the transfers go here, they are sad because people I love leave. They are also exciting because they bring new companions and new people! So Elder Patrick left me and I got a new native companion, his name is Elder Ajek! He speaks good English, he is from Kuching, Sarawak, and he lived in KL for a couple years working there! He works for a way high up and wealthy fashion company so that's cool. He is good at being a missionary and we are both excited to get to work, I am excited to learn from him. 

 

We did Family Home Evening earlier this week at one of our members house before Elder Patrick left. After we taught we were hanging out and eating, and they brought out sunflower seeds to eat as a snack! I was so excited they actually have sunflower seeds here!  It got even better when I found out they eat them one at a time with their hands??? So I showed them how we do it and how we just throw a handful into our mouth and then open, eat, and spit them from our mouths....  They were mind-blown, haha. They could not believe that I could do this so easily, pretty funny. 

As a part of transfers we had, a new fresh "greeny" come in from America. So as a district we played a prank on him and Elder Ajek acted like he didn't know English and one of the Chinese Elders acted like he could only speak Chinese. So we 'translated' everything which, funny, but we finally told him after like 3 days and he couldn't believe it, fun.

I will finish it up here with the work this week:  Elder Ajek and I have seen some awesome little miracles in our few days together it has been awesome. We are teaching this new family, and when we first met them they didn't know anything it seemed. They were all very shy and didn't participate as well and didn't talk at all. They've come to church and we have taught them 3 times, and our last lesson it seemed like they knew everything before we could even teach it.  They were involved and talking!   Most of them don't even know how to read, and even if they do they are not the best readers.  We asked if they would like to be baptized and they accepted!  We are way excited. 

Well, I  believe that is all I have for this week, onto the next week! Thanks for all the support everyone!
