Last Skype! Happy Mom Day

Hey all! This week was a good week but fair warning, this will be a short email because (1) I will be skyping with my fam in like a couple hours so I need something to talk about and (2) yeah, just refer to reason number (1). 

Last P-day I got to get out and do some yard work in our yard. Yes we have a yard. We live in a house on our own but it is in an area with a bunch of new lots that people buy. Well everyone kind of just builds their own house how they want so our house has a yard. It felt good to get out and get my hands dirty in jungle gardens and what not. We have to make sure our banana trees and papaya trees are taken care of! 

We had an Elders Quorum activity this week that we got to go to. We kind of have to go to support everything in the branch. They just went down into town and ate together and hey, I wasn't complaining! I mean, it might have been a little weird- 2 white kids sitting with 4 men over the age of 40 and one of the white guys is speaking Iban with them-but it was totally fun. You gain a lot of respect with the men when you can talk about fishing, cars, and food in their native tribal tongue. 

 

Henry is awesome. He just is. I feel like I mention him every week seriously. He gave his first talk in sacrament yesterday for like 5 min and he was way nervous. He did great! He bore sincere testimony that he knew that everything was true and I was so proud of him. After he finished he told me he felt like getting up and continuing because he was fired up haha. I think I told him that is kind of what happens to Elders when we teach lessons...The Holy Ghost is awesome. I honestly felt like a parent while we was speaking up at the front, watching my little son go up and speak for the first time haha. I'm a very proud parent.

Well, that's all I got for ya this week. Talk to you soon!
