Tour of Malaysia

Yep, this week consisted of lots of biking to far places consistently, every single day. We had District Conference so we were down at the Kuching District building every single day and in case you wanted to know, it is about a 40 min bike ride, every time. Matang is pretty far out. That is besides the point that my legs have been twice the size of Lance Armstrong's for weeks now.... but 40 min outside on this island is a long time to be exposed to storms that drop in 10 min or less. Hence, we were wet.....a lot!  Just pack your poncho everywhere you go and you'll be fine they say.....it's water-proof they say..... Well it's not island of Borneo, Haha?!  One really just learns to love being wet here.

 

I had exchanges with one of the Chinese Elders in my district, Elder Schindler, and I brought him up to Matang for the day. We went to Kampung together. He loved it. We are talking about the privileged, and always dry Chinese Elders here in Kuching, who sit on couches in air conditioned rooms, and get fed everyday. Well, time to live the Kampung life! Come join me as we walk around in human feces, and sit on wood floors in wood homes they built themselves. Oh yeah, and let's have no light, no air conditioning, and no real clean water. BUT, let's have the best time and smile a whole lot because we are just so dang happy here. Haha it was a good day.

Oh yeah, Elder Haslam and I really have a knack for cooking everyday now. We are becoming some way good cooks, especially with the food here. I think we are addicted.

That's all I have to say this week! Christmas is here!!! 

Transfer are on the way today so I will update you all as to what happens!
