This week was good. I’m
short on time, Celynne, one of Elder Wright and I's (? my grammer is dead, how
do you say that?) investigators from Singapore emailed me asking a bunch of
questions about the church and receiving answers to prayers so I had to answer
those first.
So first off we were
not able to meet with any of our normal investigators, or really any of our
members, or really any of the less active members that we normally meet with.
Basically everyone was just busy all week.
We still managed to
get a lot of work done this week though.
Peredick is coming
along good, we met him and talked to him about milk before meat etc. It was
good a lesson, we taught him how to bear his testimony effectively and how to
introduce the gospel in a non- threatening way. So after the lesson he took us
back through the sketchy part of Kota Kinabalu (again) to a convenience store
that was next to something else. He introduced us to the workers at the
convenience store and we contacted them, one of them, Lydia, seemed to actually
be interested, we will try and meet with her in the next couple days. We met
with him again on Saturday and he introduced us to more of his friends, this
time some people that worked in a Catholic bible store, and some that worked in
a Protestant bible store. Basically he is a referral machine, our primary goal
this week will be to get them going.
We went contacting
in Inanam, the place is loaded with Christians. We knocked on one door that
turned out to be somebody that the missionaries had contacted in English 10
years before. She was down to listen anyway, she wanted to know what we thought
about how we are saved. we talked for long time about a variety of stuff,
Baptism for the dead, prophets, prayer (as an apostate Catholic she said she
thought God was mad at her for saying what she wanted in prayers and asking
questions and stuff, we told her that was perfect!) and bunch of other stuff.
We committed her to read the pamphlet and she said we could meet again.
We met and contacted
a ton more new people this week.
The weekend was
District conference. President and Sister Mains came, I got interviewed for the
first time since April of last year. District conference was way good, all of
the members and missionaries came from Tawau and Sandakan (the other 2 cities
with the church in Sabah) on buses. It was way nice.
Also, Cherilyne,
Tan, Mothi and Sally came! Sally had a good experience, I have never seen
better fellowship on my mission then here, even in Singapore! Pobably 10 people
came up and introduced themselves, and other YSA's invited her to sit with
them, way dope!
The day were in
Inanam just as we were going to go back we happened to meet a less active
member that we had tried to meet before but had been unable to. Her name is
Melin she is really cool, she showed us where she lived so we could meet her
sometime in the future.
Anyway that’s about
it
Sincerely,
Elder Halpin
Kota Kinabalu has been choked in smoke,
it really needs to rain.
It makes for pretty sunsets though.
Playing cards after a lesson with some members,
