Elder Moto has Gone, Elder Rowley has Come
By Leighton | April 17, 2007
Well, this week I lost my companion, Elder Mortensen. It was hard to see him go, cause we have been together since the MTC, and this was probably the last time I would see him on a mission, cause he has to go home a week earlier than me so that he can go to school. So that is sad. He had been here for 6 months plus, so he had done his time here. I went with Elders Godfrey and Fry that day to their Kampung. It was a good day. The next day I got Elder Rowley, also a very cool elder, that I’ve known for quite a while. I actually went on exchanges with him in KL and in Singapore. So I am excited to have him. He goes home in 2 months, so this is his last stop. Hmmm.. the internet is going really slow now, so I will just have to type more while I wait. Today we went to the beach to play some beach volleyball. The sand was really hot. We didn’t have a net, so we dug some holes in the sand, stuck in some large branches, and tied a ribbon to it. Quite good actually. It was a lot of fun. We won! Yay!
My brother now is in France. He is just starting out, probably in Paris right now. He is going to have the adventure of a lifetime. I hope he can get permission to read this, but if not, maybe I can just email him this each week.
Well, I am going to upload a lot of videos from Sri Lanka in an effort to put all my Sri Lanka stuff on my blog. It is a new thing I am doing to have each of my old areas. I already uploaded all the pics, but the videos are slower. I will post it probably next week, then KL maybe a couple weeks later, then Singapore. That is my plan.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am learning Jawi… It is really cool. I can read and write it now. It used to be Malaysia’s main written language before they used the Roman Alphabet. It looks like this:
Here are some pics from this week:
