Thank You All !
Hello everyone once again!
I want to start out with saying thank for all the birthday
wishes from everyone! I am humbled and thankful for all friends and
family, you guys are the best! I feel the love from the
bottom of my heart! ('Yong,' in the
Chinese Branch, also brought me a cake for my
B-day!) : 
I'll get into this past week: We had a mini-zone conference from our mission president and his wife. The theme was Christmas of course, but it happened to be on the same day as my birthday. We got training from the President and his wife and we had a great Christmas dinner that was so delicious. After all was said an done we had a night program that was focus really on Christmas so it was cool to get into the Christmas spirit! After the training I got the best birthday present of all...a SWEET storm to ride home in... Oh yeah. It started pouring out of nowhere as it does here constantly, and soon enough we were on our way home. I for one, kind of enjoy riding my bike in huge rain storms, I think it is way fun! Anyways we show up at our house SOAKED, I mean drenched. (This is actually a usual weekly occurrence...) So that was my missionary birthday present and I loved it, haha.
One last story and not too long. We are teaching one of our investigators toward baptism and we want his wife to be in on it too. She has been busy with the kids and the a new-born a lot of the times we have taught, but we want her and her husband to be baptized together because we think that is the best thing to do. So after our lesson a couple nights ago, we decided to pop the question about baptism to her, and without even hesitating she answers, "KE!" , which is "want" in Iban. It was so sweet and I had to laugh a little too! She said it like it was really obvious...FAMILIES MAN! Love them.
That seems to be the email for this week, not too much but enough to call it a mission and an adventure! As Christmas rolls around here the work just means more to a missionary....and you daydream about rolling in snow because you can't in Malaysia....they don't know what snow is!
Love you all and thanks again for all the wishes and support!
