Elder Coy at Five Years Old!

Elder Coy at Five Years Old!

Sunday, April 5, 2015

Well family, it's been highly unusual this week,  so that means a lot to say! Here we go!

After Monday's adventure, the Assistants flew in from Singapore to stay with us on exchanges for two days until we would all fly back for M.L.C later that week. It was great, I was with Elder Lundquist from Bountiful Utah for the time they were there. 
We had a great couple days together, we were able to meet Sis. Dari again and confirm that she had the car insurance that she needed to get to church (and she did come!). Also we had some other less actives attend this week which was a big miracle, especially since Elder O'Bryant and I were thinking we'll need to drop a lot of our investigators soon.

Elders O'Bryant and Allen had a much bigger adventure though, they biked out to a little place called Bau (the Malay word for 'smell' or colloquially 'smelly') where we had a person call us from the week before. His name was Jahib, the father of an investigator in West Malaysia, and told us he is looking for a church and wanted us to teach them. They went out there on Wednesday and went to far, biking over 2 hours until they were within 2 kilometers of the Indonesian border. They did find their way there though, and taught a large family that is extremely prepared, they are just far from church. It's interesting though, because apparently there are other members that have moved there and before there were people trying to start a group out there. Hmmmmmmm :-)

Thursday and Friday were flying to Singapore, having an amazing M.L.C., and flying back. M.L.C. was a very cool experience, besides the longest time I've ever been in the presence of President Mains. We discussed a lot of great things (my favorite that it's approved to go overtime on phone calls home :-) more on that in my written letter.

Then when we got home I became bed ridden. A day or two before I noticed pimple things, one under my thigh and another under my arm, when we got home they started hurting. Saturday we went to the Hospital with Elder and Sister Pryzbyla, confirmed some sort of bug bite, probably from Fairy cave, last couple days took medicine and rested easy (read from the book of Job), today going back to have the follow up and already feeling better (please don't worry mom, thank you for the prayers).

Love you so much! Zone meeting is tomorrow, so exciting, more updates later!
