Hello again

this week was wild!!! a whirlwind of crazy things.
I will share a little experience with "faith finding" in one of our areas the other day. So this area is called Sugud, and it's basically as kampung-y as it gets in KK. We went out there for a referral, and discovered there were a lot of Christians with cars. (Can get themselves to church!) So we spent a long time at this set of house/room things contacting. Even got a few phone numbers and return appointments. We were at the point where we were almost going to be late for our next appointment so we were trying to hurry back to get a bus. We walked past this garden with a man working in it, so naturally we say hello. He comes over to chat, talks about his garden, we ask a few questions, and since it's Saturday, we give him our card and invite him to church the next morning. Not thinking too much of that, as we were only talking to him about five minutes. So we got his number and left. The next morning, sunday, we decide to call him and invite him one more time to church. It's about 7:30 AM at this point. we call him, and he goes, "oh yeah, I'm already in KK. I'm on the bus to the church." WHOA! We were so surprised! So we quickly get our things together and run out to go meet him. He stayed for all of church, and as I sat next to him in Sacrament and Sunday School he had about a thousand very good questions. Before he left for Priesthood, I gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon with a very brief explanation so he could use it in class. He took it, went to Priesthood, and after he disappeared. The brother's that were with him said he asked a ton of questions in priesthood too and was very involved in the lesson. Very cool, right? So we called him after church since he disappeared, and set a return appointment for this past monday. So we go to his house, and two very cool things happened, one very powerful and spiritual, and one funny. I'll start with the funny. He lives in this very humble house, and he brought us out some cake and water. The cake looked beautiful and cut, and the water was in dirty little plastic cups. So we drank the water, and the time for the cake came. Disgusting. Stale. Probably a few weeks old. So we both just choke it down and quickly start the lesson before he makes us take another bit. But little did we know, before we left, he was going to make us eat another piece!! And it was on the second time around that we discovered this beautifully old cake had MOLD on the bottom!!!! Like, a lot of mold. So I closed my eyes and swallowed it. Sister Wong tucked it away in her purse:) It was very nasty and funny and sweet, all at the same time. But anyway, the really cool part was when we were talking to him about his experience at church. He said that after we had talked to him on saturday, he went to bed thinking about us and church. He said he woke straight up at 5 the next morning, and felt a very very strong drive that he needed to go to that church. So he got up, and went. He said at church he had never felt like that before. He said he felt "senang hati" which means like easy. Peaceful. He said he talked to a lot of people and had fun and learned a lot. Basically, he liked church. But the best part came that night. He had a dream. I have come to realize that Malaysians are dreamers. They get a lot of signs and answers from dreams. So he, of course, had a dream. And in that dream, he said Jesus Christ came to him in his garden and handed him the Book of Mormon. He didn't say anything to him, no words were shared, but Christ handed him the Book of Mormon. He woke up, and he started to read it. The lesson we shared about the Restoration, and about Christ, and he had sooooo many questions. He asked everything. He committed to baptism on the very first lesson:) And he teared up multiple times when sharing the feelings and experiences he had in just two days. Basically, our faith finding led us to someone who needed the gospel. We are meeting with him again tomorrow, and we are so grateful and so happy that we met him. You know? That wasn't random. We were led there. I know that is true. That is one of the incredible blessings that I have learned/received on my mission. If we live worthy of the Spirit, if we have faith, if we work hard, we are taken to people and places that either need us or we need them. Maybe both
Sister Wong and I have been tearing it up. Having a lot of fun and working even harder. Talking to EVERYONE. That is a lot of fun. Getting the word out.
We have a very busy week ahead of us so I'm excited for that too:)
Hope all is well with everyone at home that I love!
