Ok cool stories this week
So we were going out to a
lesson, with investigators in Elder Ee's previous area, and I ask him "Hey
do they have any word of wisdom problems" and he says "Of course
not" So we get there, and there is a group of guys in the house, all of
which are smoking and plastered...
We talk to them for a bit, and
one guy is just going off in Iban, and as my companions don't speak Iban, he
was only talking to me... so I was listening to this drunk guy go off about how
he knows our church is true, just he is a sinner, so doesn't want to come to
church. I explain that like, the point of church is to fix our problems, and he
continues to ask me if I take these medications is it ok to come to church, so
at this point I'm apprehensive, and I ask him what kind of medications... and he
says "They help me focus" so I thought they were probably ADD
medications or something of the sorts, and he pulls out the bottle, and I look
at the label, and the first thing they say is "No, it's different than
whats on the label" he then unscrews the cap, pours it onto his hand, and
white powder, followed by a rock of cocaine fall on to his hand!!!!
So immediately I say "ok
we have to go, we have an appointment" and Elder Ee says "What? We
don't have an appointment!"
So we got out of there... haha
another story, so we had exchanges this week, and me and
Elder Davie stayed in Matang, and Elder Ee went to Batu Kawah with Elder
Christensen (one of the ZL)
on his return, he tells us
"Elder Christensen gave me acne medication" and immediately red flags
go up in my mind, and I ask him to see the pills... and turns out, there was a
huge language issue, and Elder Ee actually had Malaria pills... not acne meds,
and had just taken 2... and to add worry, they were expired by a year, luckily
there were no major side effects, but it was hilarious.
Ok so miracles this week!
A less active young woman had
asked us to start teaching her brother who had not been baptized yet, so we met
her family (her Dad is currently sick and at his home village) and the mom said
that she hadn't met with the missionaries in 3 years, wants to come back to
church, and wants her 2 un-baptized children baptized! The next time we met her
she showed us all the other of age kids who weren't baptized yet! so we picked
up 2 New Investigators, and 8 more to come in the coming weeks!
We had a family from Lundu
(about an hour drive) come to church last week, and the Mom asked us to teach
her son (11 years old) so the branch had an activity out in Lundu and we taught
her son, and he is also on date for baptism! So once a week we will do a phone
lesson and then once a week we will go out to Lundu to teach him!
We also had 2 random girls show
up at church last week and they stayed for 2nd hour! They are now learning
also!
And one of the investigators
who we are teaching (J) (normally we meet her during her lunch hour on
sundays) just accepted the date of 27/6/2015!
anyways, it's been a crazy week!
Jumpa Lagi,
Elder Bester
