Elder Coloma, as you
know, was finished with his training, and so he started training in Ipoh.
So Mom, the Kampung Matang
was the furthest area we ever went in Matang. Kota Samarahan is the thing you
saw. The branch goes up to the river in between it and Kuching proper.
After the craziness
of transfers and the sadness of saying goodbye to everyone I hopped on a bus to
Pulau Penang and then on a plane direct to Kuching.
So one of the cool
things about this mission is that every area is different. Not one is the same
as another, even in the same city. Samarahan is WAY different than Matang. Anyway
we have a few investigators and also some less actives we are working on.
We also have Brother
Jeff. He is the Branch President’s brother and helps with the work quite a bit.
So we are waiting for my bicycle to arrive here from Ipoh so we are reduced to
member rides and walking. We have done a fair amount of both over the last few
days and actually accomplished quite a bit.
Elder Poppleton, or
Elder Pop as he is known, is pretty cool. He’s from Utah and is 19. Anyway,
short email this week, super bad internet and laggy computers.
Mom: I assume that you are not hanging around the computer but just in case..... You said samarahan is way different than your other Kuching area. In what way?
Elder Halpin: Still here, for a couple minutes. Look at google earth. The
stuff above the river in Kuching is Matang. Matang was more built up. Also it
was mostly a Muslim area. This area is much more jungley and spreadout. It just
has a different feel I guess. Also only one set of elders so we work with all the members
in the branch.
Also forgot my adapter
so no pictures......
Love
Elder Halpin
