New Starts!

Well, sorta everyone got dunked. Our investigator Hendry got baptized so he has a fresh start to his life! The Elders kinda got dunked this week too...More or less got DUMPED on. It was raining all day everyday for the beginning of this week and we were for sure more wet than Hendry on the night of his baptism! We also got a fresh start because New Years happened and that means new goals and resolutions! Either way everyone got dunked and has some fresh starts!

This week the senior couple Elder and Sister Wiser brought their family in from the states and we got to spend one night with them at a members house. I don't what is is about white people but man do I feel awkward around them. It's been over a year and a half that I have actually sat down and talked to a full white family in person. There was like 7+ white people in one Malaysian house! It was nuts!

I did some sweet exchanges with the English Elders in my district this week. That is Elder Rich and Elder Tan. I love these Elders! Good days of working hard and most of time speaking Malay. I feel bad because they don't understand but it works out! Elder Tan and I were speaking Malay, Chinese, and English all up and down Kuching. Fun days.

Going back to New Years. We had a good celebration together Elder Haslam and I. Nope, no parties. Well, I mean we definitely threw a rager at the house for ourselves! The fireworks were definitely more mellow here in this area. It wasn't like a war zone like last year but still cool to celebrate. Is it really 2017?! Wow..

I love you all! Happy New Years!
