as soon as we got here the mission president and his wife and a senior couple and the assistants brought us out to lunch. they took a bunch of pictures. it was just a bunch of rice and curry on a huge banana leaf and we ate with our right hand. haha
Right Hands only...on banana leaves...

Its a very small place, Sandakan was my first area. i was there for 9 months. Even as a Malaysian, i kinda went through a culture shock. its a very poor small and poor place compared to the west part of Malaysia.

To - malvinder88: That is crazv! I hope he does ok. In your opinion, what does he need the most? What can we send him?
ReplyDeleteIts a walking area.. so socks, polyester ties, ... Christ stickers or bookmarks,or small painting print outs that he can give to members or investigators. no DESERET bookstores here, so stuff like that is prized. Only catholic and Anglican bookstores here.
ReplyDeleteIf he is there for a long time... shoes. lastly... Candy for him and his companion .
