My weeks in Malaysia never fail to be an adventure. Really quickly I will
tell you about my new "best friend" Muhammad. Well one night my companion and I
didn't have dinner so we decided to run to the mall below us and grab some
waffles from a nice chinese woman that cooks them. So it was about 10 pm and so
we ran down there as quick as possible (which isn't actually quick since we live
on floor 23) (and also I would like to point out that our schedule is half our
different than most missions so we weren't actually breaking curfew) but anyway,
we get down there and she is cooking for someone else so we gave her our order
and decided to go to a little dinky dollar store while we were waiting. While we
were goofing around at this story called Mr. D.I.Y. I accidentally ran into a
young man, I said sorry and turned around onto a different isle because I was
embarrassed. But he followed us and stared at us for like 5 mintues. Then he
finally approached us and started asking loads of questions about what room we
stayed in and of course my favorite question...can I have your number. Well
lucky for us, we don't actually know our number, and we didn't have our phone on
us so we didn't have to lie and say we don't have a number or phone. But this
guy was really persistent. He was like...well what are you doing right now, and
I said well we're getting waffles for dinner, and he said "I know I was watching
you get them" At this point in my head I was like okay you little stalker you
can stop following us around the mall now. But he asked us if he could follow us
up to our room, and I said no, but you can write down your number for us and
we'll call you later. He had nothing to write on and we didn't either so he went
looking around the store for a pen so as he was looking we booked it out of
there. We were running through the mall like crazy people. We figured we could
just go and get our waffles and go back upstairs, but they were still cooking so
we ran into a store, and we're hiding and he comes down the escalator searching
for us. I have never been more panicked before, we hid for about 10 minutes
until he left the area so we grabbed our waffles and ran back to our room. It
was quite the night. We reallyyyyy love our apartment so we are hoping that he
never finds out where we live or else we have to move.
We also went on a crazy truck ride through the jungle, and to get to the
jungle we took a crazy bus...sorry mom and dad I know I have super good luck
with cars hitting me, but my only choice was to hang out the door because the
bus was so packed. No worries I didn't fall out and get run over. And when we
arrived at our destination, we had such a good lesson so it was worth the
ride!
Well that's it for me this week, I have to go. Things are amazing with us.
I am learning everyday, especially how to love. Love conquers all. And I know
that I could never do this work without our Heavenly Father. Have a good week
everyone I love you all.
Love,
Sister Krivanec
