Mini
Mission Work
Hey
guy, how are you doing? Today I want to share my mini mission work story. It’s
about August. 19. 2014 (Tuesday). The best experiences ever! So on Tuesday we
had zone meeting which elders from Mukah and Sibu Jaya also there. Zone meeting
started in 10.30 but I came very late like 11 o’clock. So in the zone meeting
they were talked about “the investigators and members, how to increase the
investigator, invited the less active or inactive members to go to church every
weeks.” In the zone meeting they are played game like ‘Find something around
the chapel and if they get it they should find the clue’ (I’m not really
understand the game). Haha. Sister and elder Beus gave talk in front because
that might be their last zone meeting. They got surprised. Sister and elder
Beus is the best senior couple we have. Thank you senior couple because being
such as our good friends to us. The end of the zone meeting we had took a
picture in front the chapel. Elder Christensen has problem with his bike. He
needed to fix it. Elder Sutherland, Starthearn, Misa’alefua and I just wait for
him. Finally he made it. We got rain so hard. We need to get McDonalds as fast
as probably. We were very wet after arrived in McDonalds. After McDonalds I
followed elder Sutherland and Christensen to find the new investigator address.
After we’ve got it we went to sister Daun house (the less active members and
she already went to Manila Temple, Philipine). We were in sister Daun house
like in 40 minutes. We went to the investigator house in Sungai Merah. The PI
“Potential Investigator” woow!! Sound great right? We were in PI house about 10
minutes and they look like not interested because the women say “I’m sorry
because we have our own church that is RC. So, we won’t convert to the other
church, that it”. After that elder Sutherland say “Don’t worry sister you have
an agency and also don’t be afraid with us. We’re okay”. We move to Anthony
house. It’s very close with the PI house just like 3 minutes to get there by
bike. We were arrived in Anthony house but he doesn’t at home. We asked his
neighbor to get his phone number but they don’t have it. After that we went to
Andrew house which live nearby Mega Store, Sungai Merah. Andrew is the inactive
members. We teach him about Temple. We were there about 30 minutes after 5.
When we get the bike, elder Christensen talked with 3 people sitting in front
of the bar. Just because they are sitting there, elder Christensen introduced
himself and talk about the Church. 2 boys and a women look like interested
because the woman asked me a lot of thing about this church. After 30 minutes
of our conversations we went to café nearby and get meals. 2 Muslim people
asked us to sit nearby. He sponsored us drinks. We talked about where we come
from, what is American favorite food and many more. At 7 we went to sister Acui
house. I followed the Chinese elders to teach Winnie about The Book of Mormon.
Elder Sutherland and Christensen left at 8. After 30 minute their gone we just
had done our lesson with Winnie. Sister Lina gave me vegetables. After we
(Elder Baer, South and I) left their house we need to get sister Beus house but
it was late. They already finish their lesson at 8.45. So, I’m waiting for
brother Alok to get home because my parents still at hometown that day. We had
a lot of fun at all day. I followed elder Christensen and Sutherland at 2-7 in
the evening and followed the Chinese elders at 7 till 9 in the evening.
