So I found out something interesting today. Even though I am in an English speaking area, I "campur" (mix) Malay and English a lot, so I've actually started to forget some English words. It's turning more into broken English, so that'll be fun! It's been an okay week here.
We did move into our new apartment, and it isn't as "cincai" (ghetto) as our other apartment. The AirCons actually work-lah! And we don't have cicaks (little lizards) running everywhere. The branch helped us out a ton, and we spent a lot of time cleaning and basically just prepping for the move. It was really good. Our old apartment was lived in for 7 years, so it's good to have a new one. Sadly enough, our washing machine is broken and I have like 1 pair of clothes left. Hand scrubbing, yay!
Elder Steadman's doing very well and his shoulder is healing very very fast. On Monday last week he couldn't even do a 90 degree angle, but now he can do about 160-170 degree angle, so he's getting better bit by bit. By the way, Zone Conference is on Wednesday, so we're flying into Singapore again. But he'll have a check-up there to see if everything is going okay and if his bone is healing properly.
Today we visited Cameron Highlands, a place high up in mountains. It felt a LOT like Park City in the summertime, but it was really cool, I'll send you some of the pics of that! But then, after this week, I'll just be busy honing my badminton skills. Badminton is pretty much the national sport of Malaysia. So, yeah....
Here's what happened this past week-lah!
So, Yoges got married to his wife Sarojeni. You'll see some pictures of that also. It was really cool. He had a reception the night before at the church and then his legit wedding at some hall somewhere performed by an Indian guy. There was a lot of LOUD Indian music, and we found out that our investigators were some of the dancers in the wedding procession. It was playing music and they were all dancing and we ate curry and rice (the usual) but it was all very good. The only down side is that it was all in Tamil.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PACKAGE!!!!!!!!!!! I still have no idea how you packed all that stuff in there, and the cookies are still amazing! It's the best ever! And I've been so music deprived that I've gone through most of the CDs already. It's terbes! (the highest degree of best).
Well, that's our week. I got some pants from Sister Chris, actually my size that she bought just because. Gucci, I think. And members here must be loaded for the most part, because they spend so much money on us, it's insane!
Here are the pics!
Love you all a ton!
