After a 48-hour train ride through the beautiful Thai countryside, my team and I arrived relatively seamlessly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I will say that at one point I think I slept with a mouse. This was confirmed in the morning when I jumped down from my train-bed and the little sucker SHOT OUT at a surprisingly high speed and did this flying leap off the top bunk onto the cabin floor and darted off. I knew I heard squeaking the night before….. The train conductors just laughed at my reaction (I was doing a bit of a freak-out dance). Guess it's all part of the experience…! =]
We are working this month with a family of reverends. The couple, Grace and Sam, have both been in the ministry for forty+ years and therefore have a lot to share. We are staying at their church office, and our ministry this month will look like hospital visits, singing and speaking at church, and whatever else they have up their sleeves!
Internet is not as accessible as last month, but enough to keep you in the loop. Pastor Sam has already expressed his wish for Americans to know more about Malaysia and what it's like here, so I will do my part to share all that I learn with you.
