Quick Week!



Hey Everyone!
I can't believe it's already Monday again! That was fast! A lot of stuff happened this week, and it flew by!
Monday, we went to a HUGE mall called Sunway Pyramid, and there were giant Lego things everywhere. I took a few pictures. I'll only send the best one.  It was really cool. We ate at this place with Sister Saffron and one of the Chinese Elders' investigators (Jo Yee). It was the best chicken I've ever eaten in my ENTIRE LIFE. It was way good. Elder Forsyth drew a really cool picture while we were waiting for our food to come out.  I’ll send a picture.  After that, we went over to Keke's and taught her boyfriend.  We also taught him and Nicholas how to tie ties. It was a ton of fun! It was really fast too.
Tuesday, not much happened. We met up with the Zone Leaders that night and started exchanges, so I got to hang out with Elder Orgill Tuesday night and all of Wednesday. Before that, we pretty much just visited some less actives.  It was a pretty chill day.
Wednesday, we had an awesome day of contacting. All day. But it was a ton of fun! Elder Orgill is a really fun guy, and he taught me a lot of new things I can do to get better at missionary work, so that was cool. That night we met with a guy named Cheer. That's really his name.  He wanted to improve his life, and he seemed to have real desire. When we picked Elder Forsyth back up, he let us know that Cheer has been an eternal investigator, and that he pretends like he wants to change, but then doesn't. He's too lazy. We set up a return appointment with him though, so we decided we'd see how things went from there.
Thursday... we prepared a few games for English Class on Friday so that people would really enjoy it and bring their friends!  That was fun to make. We drew pictures and wrote words on cards.  It’s basically a massive matching game of new words for them. That night, we met with my main man Kok Cin! He's awesome; super solid, genuine, great guy. He's really quiet, but really smart, and he wants to know if what we teach is true. We taught him a lot about baptism, and invited him to the baptism that happened Saturday! He was excited to be invited to go to it! That was great!
Friday, we went to Sister Saffron's in the afternoon, and decided to teach her a cool lesson. We told her we had prepared a scripture, and we wanted her to flip open to a random scripture, and that would be the one that we had prepared. She flipped open to a random one, we taught an entire lesson on the random scripture, and she was really surprised that we had prepared such a cool lesson! Haha! I don't think she realized that we were just teaching on the spot.  It ended up being a great lesson! Later that night, we taught a recent convert, Sister Erica. We gave her an awesome Book of Mormon reading chart that we're eventually going to give to everyone. Other than that, we taught English, and everyone loved it. We had a ton of new people, and they were eating up the games. It was great! Sister Saffron is a really competitive person. Haha!
Saturday was an AWESOME day! Well, for most of it. English class was good, and people really enjoyed it. Right before the baptism, Sister Stephanie thought it would be funny to make me eat a tomato. And it was. But tomatoes are literally my least favorite food EVER. I would rather eat pork blood soup or chicken feet or durian than a tomato. But I really have a lot of respect for Sister Stephanie since she's such an awesome person and helps us out so much.  After about 10 minutes of her trying to convince me to eat it, I finally did. After almost throwing up a few times, I finally stomached it. I think my mom has a video of it if anyone wants to see it. Literally the worst thing I've eaten in my life.
After eating that, we had a baptism to go to! The Chinese Elders' investigator, Jo Yee, got baptized! She's awesome!  The best part about her being baptized, is I was the one that found her! That's my first person that I've actually found that got baptized!  That was awesome! I only taught her twice, but I was really happy to see her. We found her when we were advertising for English Class. I gave her a flyer and told her we teach people about Jesus Christ. A few days later, she called the number on the flyer, which happened to be the Chinese Elders' number, and she ended up learning from them. It was an exciting day! Kok Cin came, and really enjoyed the baptism! It was good that he was able to come and watch!
Sunday, we met with Yuen after church. Yuen is an awesome guy. He actually was learning from the Elders over in Canada for about 4 months, and just wanted to talk with his parents before he was baptized, so he's planning on being baptized really soon in Malaysia!  That was a miracle! We might be able to get a baptism in a few weeks! He's learned everything, and had a baptismal interview. He just has to pick a day and he's good!
That night, we went to Sister Saffron's with Kok Cin and the Chinese Elders' investigator Sonia, and had a super good dinner. It was great. Other than that, not a lot happened Sunday.
This week FLEW by! I can't believe we only have one more week until the transfer is over! I'll be emailing a little bit later next week so that we don't have to wait so long for transfer news, but it will come eventually! Have an awesome week! Sorry the letter was a little short this week!
Love you all!
