So first off on Monday we had an
appointment scheduled with a potential named Madeline. It fell through that
morning.
The next day we had 2 appointments,
one with Teresa and one with the “Jumat" family. Both of them fell
through.... ugh...
We weren’t able to reschedule any of
the 3. Teresa can only meet Thursday. The "Jumats" are gone the last
half of the week working on their new longhouse and Madeline isn’t answering
her phone.
So yeah. Anyway on Wednesday we went
to Singapore. We jalan jalaned it up all afternoon and then had dinner and a
family history workshop.
Thursday was Zone Conference. It was
pretty good, learned some useful things and also was spiritually uplifted.
Friday we traveled back to Kuching.
That went well until I had waited for a long time at the baggage claim and
realized they had lost my bag. Anyway, they said they thought it was on the
next flight so we went home and proceeded to unpack and plan for the coming
week.
We then found out that our house
rent was up and so we had to call the senior couple who are in charge of that
and have them work it out. Anyway,.yea.
Saturday they finally located my bag.
and guess where it was.... Beijing China..... Yeah I know right, apa hal.
Anyway I proceeded to call them,
actually no just kidding it finally arrived in Kuching, and set up a taxi to
bring it to me. Said it would arrive around 2 in the afternoon, but it didn’t
arrive until about 5....
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh
ugh...
But anyway, we did go visit a couple
members yesterday, Bro Dunggat and his family and Sister Munah. Both of those
visits went well.
We didn’t have any of the less
active young men come yesterday, but a couple random less actives from Siol
Kandis came, so that was good.
Anyway this morning we went to the
wind caves again. There was just 4 of us this time but it was a lot of fun,
instead of renting a van took the public bus... Slowest jankiest thing in the
world. We finally made it to Bau and found the caves. They were a lot wetter
than the first time we went, it is the rainy season.
I did hear about the storm in the
Philippines, no land break here. Malaysia is probably the most storm proof
place in the world though. The Philippines take all the storms from the pacific
ocean and Indonesia takes all the storms from the Indian ocean.
Anyway the caves were really drippy
and soggy, but we still managed to explore quite a bit, including getting up,
close and personal to the bat hoard.
The trip back was fun too, took us
forever to find a bus, but we eventually did.
Anyway we made it.
Love Elder Halpin
