Sibu Rain, a little Chinese, & a late Halloween
Hello Everyone!
Come around on another
week out here in Sibu doing that whole missionary thing! Looking back on this
week it was pretty slow, but the funny thing is that I always try to do
something fun in the day so it doesn't seem slow. There is nothing like coming
home and flopping on the bed completely exhausted, yet so fulfilled.
We had a Halloween party
a little late here. The Chinese branch here invited us to come a attend. It was
way funny teaching all these Chinese people how to play Halloween games like
'bobbing for apples,' haha. Plus I get to brush up on my Chinese which is always
good! They have a member that cannot speak or hear, so I have done my fair
share of studying of Malaysian sign language to talk to him, which is always a
humbling experience. This week I got to do
exchanges with our district leader Elder Sabin which is always a good time. He
is way sick and we both love to talk about basketball and all that good stuff.
He is way tall and the members that we visit love him because he is a Chinese
speaking Elder and I teach him Malay haha.
This week toward the end
of the week our mission President and his wife flew in to visit our zone and
talk to all of us. It was cool to see him and talk to him, as well as get
to know him more! He and his wife are truly ready to help us out in any way possible! Anyways, not too much
happened but there are the everyday adventures that every missionary
experiences that I have the privilege of doing also. I miss all the cool fall
and winter weather back home but I am getting a nice farmers tan out here!
