Week 78: Illusion of Ipoh

This week went by crazy fast! On Monday morning we took a big bus to Penang for Exchanges. It was fun to be with the Elders there and to Talk about my days in Butterworth. On Thursday we even drove through Butterworth and it brought some crazy emotions to my heart haha. Then on Thursday morning we headed back to Ipoh. 

On Thursday we went carolling with our branch, and it was super fun. We all wore matching Light the World streets and sang (not culty at all eh?) It was super fun and some of the people We are teaching were there which made it even better. 

Sunday was a really fun day, our branch had a ton of people come to church and then we had a potluck afterwards for the people in our branch going to BYU-Hawaii next week for the Winter Semester. 

As for the people We are teaching, people are doing well. Gordan came to church and is continuing to learn and we are hoping he will get baptized next month. He even said that he wants to go on a Mission! We are also spending a lot of time working with the members of the branch.

This upcoming week is going to be so busy, we have Zone Conference Thursday to Saturday and the earlier part of the week is so busy with appointments and Christmas stuff. 

I love you all so much! I hope you have an amazing Christmas. This week, I watched the video "The Christ Child" a lot and I LOVE it. It is a wonderful reminder of the amazing gift Jesus Christ is to us, and how grateful we can be to remember him this Christmas season. 

Have a good week! Don't forget to smile. 

Best, 

Elder Weatherford
