Hospitals

Well, we had transfers this week (not that that changed much for Elder Florence and I) but since one of the Sisters in our district finished her mission, her companion had to go to Ipoh (two hour bus to the south) for a few days. That meant that Elder Florence and I had District Meeting by ourselves, in which time we discussed our contacts, and we have made big changes since then. We still are working on meeting with, and finding more people, but we hope that with our new techniques we will be able to meet people's needs better.

We spent a couple days in Penang this week because Elder Florence needs to get his feet operated on (ingrown toenails) and no one in Malaysia seems to be able to do the procedure we need. We called the mission office, and let them know our struggles. They told us they would handle it, and apparently Elder Florence might need to have his toes done in Singapore. 

we have seen great progress in one of our investigators Eco, who has made great strides in his testimony (and not to mention his English). We watched the Restoration video in Vietnamese, and the spirit was so strong.  He told us that he knows that the the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We had a great lesson with him, and at the end of it, he said a really good prayer. 

All is well in Butterworth. We are doing well, and my testimony is increasing. One scripture that I read this morning that I like, talks about how we can use our circumstances to change for the good, or the bad. It is in Alma 62:41.  May we each use the circumstances we are given to become better.

But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility.

Sincerely

Elder Allen
