Apai

Happy Father's Day one and all! Dad, I hope you had a great one! Thanks for being my role model and example.  Only a couple more weeks now and we can go keep the yard up on Saturdays, hit up Wingnuts and watch a game, or we could go to our family 'Kebun' in the jungles of Sarawak and cut down various wild fruits, kill our pig, and barbecue it (If you're feeling Malaysian). Let me know! Love you Dad.

These people are my family here, honestly. There are many times that I look around, or that we are in a lesson with kids climbing all over me, and I think, just like my family. There is no sweeter feeling then to sit in a home and teach them the gospel with all the kids reading with us, and the parents helping to explain. We end it with a prayer on our knees and the whole family is in on it. We were also at church on Sunday and my second Mom (Sis. Norlia) and I were having conversations about life and what my plans were, as well as their families. I honestly just felt like part of the family. I don't know how I am going to leave these people. 

Jesus Christ lives and he is real. His power is over all and if we would just let him take our lives, we would understand that truth. Our investigator, 'Jackson,' testified of his dream he had where he felt he saw Jesus Christ in essence. Now, for those of us who are not a lucky as Jackson over here, we believe in Him given our circumstances. I am reading the New Testament, and if anyone wants an extra boost to their study of Jesus Christ, watch the Bible Videos, because I did that too. He lives. He absolutely lives. He taught simply and he taught with love. If we will just seek him, follow his teachings, and give our lives over to him. He will make us more than we ever thought possible. 

To my "Apai", and to my "Apai ti aba Sorga", I say thank you for all you have done for me. Love you all!
