The Sarawak Conquest

I have to keep it short today so sorry in advance! 

This week we headed up to Miri for our zone conference up there. Miri was the last city that I have not gone in Sarawak so going there made me Sarawak conquest complete! We took four hour bus ride up there and back on Thursday and Friday. We got to see Pres and Sister Simmons and all that good stuff. I gave me final testimony too, like what the heck?! When did that happen? Also the buses are nice but the road....oh my the roads. Ok, for anyone from Utah who complains about Idaho roads, I dare you to come drive these roads out here. For anyone that is from Idaho that complains about Utah drivers, I dare to you drive on these roads with 3x the madness and rudeness. Yeah imagine that. Be grateful for what you have! Dad, if we were to take our boat and drive it behind the truck out here, we'd have like 37 flat tires instead of two in a 4 hour journey. Just to give you imagery.

Aside from that the miracle this week had to come with our investigator Jackson. We were asking him how his reading and praying has been going and he made a comment about the night before as he was praying and repenting. He said that as he was doing so he could feel a presence behind him and almost thought he felt a hand on his back comforting him. He felt light and peace. When he turned around he could see nothing, but he remembered the feeling. You should have seen my face grinning from ear to ear. All I could say was, "That is what I'm talking about! Woohhh!" Jackson, I know EXACTLY what you mean man. Welcome to the greatest feeling our God has to offer. It can never be forgotten for as long as we live. 

Love you all!
