Week 85: Illusion of Ipoh

Good morning everyone! 

Sorry that I didn't write to you all last week, the past little bit has been absolutely crazy. 

Two Weeks ago, we did some service at a Hindu temple with one of our members named Brother Deven. After that, the high priest at the temple invited us to come back for Thaipusam, that event where they stab themselves and do all the crazy stuff. So, we went to that yesterday and it was crazy, but not quite as big as Penang last year.

This week we also went on exchanges in Penang, and I got to Skype Brother Teh, my first Recent Convert. He still goes to church every week, even though he lives an hour plus from the church. It was cool to hear from him! 

Other than that, it has been pretty normal weeks of Missionary work. Talking to people, meeting members, getting food poisoning. Everyone here is scared about the coronavirus and so most people Wear masks, but so far not too bad. 

Love you all! Talk soon! 

Best, 
Elder Weatherford
