"Today was
Eye-Opening..."
I was going to use this email and talk more about the P-Day
Changes we had last week and when we went to Bako , but I realized
I already told you all that. So now I am left with just a few highlights for
the week. Bako really was cool though.
This week I got to do exchanges with one of my favorite
Chinese Elders, Elder Tan from Singapore. It is always fun to hang out and do
work with him, but this time he came up to Matang for the day! We had a good
time and I took him to the Kampung. You know, that place where everyone builds
their own houses out of wood and lives in them, and where everyone walks on the
sewer passage way? Yeah, that place. To quote Elder Tan and to explain this area
in one sentence...."Today was eye-opening." Yep, Nailed it.
One of our investigator families that we just barely were
able to meet with, weren't really answering their phone. They just
don't have any credit! Not because they don't want any more. Anyways we went to
their house and knocked to see if they could meet and they opened to the door!
We got in and all I see in a big family sitting on the floor, cross-legged,
eating with their hands, and speaking a whole lot of Iban. They are from Sibu,
and what I saw was pure evidence of that. I have never felt so at home. They
are totally people from Sibu. These are my people.
That's all I have for you all this week. Sorry it's short!
Love you all!
Elder Thompson
