The toilet may be clogged...but not the Lord's work

Oct. 6, 2019

Hello everyone!

Every Monday, there's a night market in SS2 (a section of the city) and we go there to find people (because everyone who's anyone goes there on Monday night). As we were walking, it was raining, so our shoes were soaked and squishing with every step. Booths making food were steaming and people were shouting and talking, crowded under umbrellas and canopies, bustling and buying and eating. As my companion and I were walking around with our Book of Mormons, the thought came to me: Holy cow...I'm in Malaysia right now!! I'm a missionary. We have this knowledge of happiness and love, and everyone around us doesn't know, but my purpose right now is to help them know and also have joy...THAT IS SO COOL. I love being a missionary. I love PJ. There are too many experiences to share, but know that every day this week, I have felt more and more love for where I am and what I am doing. I love being a missionary :)

Some things from this week...

- I tried jackfruit for the first time, and it is so good

- Our toilet broke (it wasn't flushing so it stank so bad), but the handy man finally came and fixed our toilet! I am soooooo happpyyyy

- Have you seen the Book of Mormon videos!? WATCH THEM WITH THE FAMILY, THEY ARE SO GOOD. We watch the newest one every Saturday and have a "movie night," they are so fun to watch (we make fun of the cheesy acting, too, hehe)

- Our friend,Jjoey, is getting baptized this Saturday, so we're pumped!

- While on exchanged this week with Sister Beliang from Puchong, we were contacting in a bookstore and this lady we met had come to Malaysia for some day warrior challenge thing. She asked if we wanted to meet her friends, so we said sure, more people to teach, right? She walked us to the front desk where like 10 people were purchasing items, and she literally shouted, "HEY, EVERYONE. THESE ARE MY FRIENDS, BELIONE AND HAMMER. THEY'RE VOLUNTEERS FOR CHURCH." My face turned so red, EVERYONE was staring at us. I couldn't believe that someone had basically just announced to the entire bookstore our names and our purpose. It was crazy! But they were all really nice, and I guess you're supposed to talk to everyone anyways, haha!

- Remember that you are loved by Heavenly Father. it all comes down to prayer, daily personal prayer. no matter what, when you pray, He will hear you and He will answer you. the church is true!*

love, sister hamner
