This week was pretty fun, and there were some notable things that happened this week. One was that I road on a boat for the first time on my mission. It was pretty cool to get on the ferry to go to Penang for District meeting. We ride on with our bicycles and then get off together with all of the motorcyclists at the same time. I feel like I am in a motorcycle gang when I ride out. So we got to spend a little bit of time in Penang this week, and we are going there today. It seems basically like Singapore (in some places) just a lot more spread out, and just not quite as extravagant.
We met with a lot of cool people during the week, and we had a lot of good experiences talking with people about the gospel. We have also had to "drop" a few of the investigators that have been meeting with the missionaries in the past, just due to some hard circumstances. There was a 16 year-old kid who they were meeting with before I got here, that has parents who do not want him to learn about the gospel because they are strong Buddhists. We have been working on getting in contact with him, and sorting our the situation.
Some people have asked about if I speak a lot of Chinese in this area. While I definitely speak some, I don't speak as much as I did before. The area in which I am serving is an English area, and so we have lots of people who we teach in English, this is coupled with the fact that our branch is completely in English, so if we want to find people who can understand church, we need to find people who can speak English.
Thanks everyone for your love and support!
