Cheese Cake

So guess what I found last week shopping, instant cheese cake mix.  You, when you live in Malaysia and cream cheese alone cost a fortune, this is exciting news!  Of course I had to buy it and make it as soon as possible.  While it did not come close to mom's cheese cake, it did fill the void of 6 months of no cheese cake.  Oh the little things that make my week.  Things could not be going better as a missionary.  I'm living in the same house as my first companion Elder Brooks and we just have a stellar time. The people are as ever, the greatest, especially during Chinese New Year, gong xi fa chai!  Everybody feeds you and everyone lets you into their home, so good!  And best of all, the language is going so well, I might try my hand at Chinese now, especially because my companion is native born Malaysian Chinese!

New Area

So hello everyone!  I just got transferred this week.  I am now in Bintulu, Sarawak, still in East Malaysia.  It was a difficult move, having been there for almost 6 months, I knew the people, the places and my house was clean to my standards :)  Anyway, the move has proved to be quite good, I really like the area that I am in the people I have met so far are fabulous.  One interesting fact about the two area, Sandakan and Bintulu is that they are both tied for most ghetto area in the mission.  And, because I am the only missionary to serve in both areas it is my responsibly to cast the final vote!  So far it’s a pretty close tie, but I might have to give "Most Ghetto" to Bintulu, only because I am more in the country side, not the city.  I am also training a new missionary!  He is a native born Malaysian and is an excellent missionary.  More to come next week, but just know I love all you guys!
