Malaysia.


It’s been amaaaaaziiing!


We spent time cooking and serving at Kawan, A YWAM based soup kitchen for the homeless, led worship on Easter Sunday at a Chinese Church, visited a Nepali refugee church, served in the Kawan second hand clothes shop, served in the St. Nicholas home for the blind, painted a church, had a RAW BEAUTY photo shoot and raised $10,000 in charity funds for the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital for heart patients. I visited the oldest mosque in Penang, and an international house of prayer. On my off days, I saw the Botanical Gardens, the Batu Caves temples and spent a day at the beaches of the Malacca Strait and made friends who did beautiful Henna on my hand and helped me pick out a gorgeous Saree. I heard the call to prayer 5 times a day, every day and captured some of my best photos on the Race. I was blessed with amenities such as a western toilet, warm showers, an AC unit for our bunk room and a laundry machine on our roof! I’ve been eating incredible curried and asian dishes. I even worked out with Mr Sean T of Beach Body Insanity to help with all the rice weight I’ve gained. You could say I was living a life of luxury.
The Mosque Next Door. This is the view from my route.
Cinnamon rolls from the bakery in the hospital where we worked.
Apparently, I was the only one suped stoked about this.

St. Nicholas braille globe. So cool!
Malaysia is a land that I would love to return to one day. This month was more task oriented and a little less relational outside of the Race community. However, it was an excellent reminder that there needs to be a balance of relationships and work being done.
As always check out my other blog for more pictures from this month. This one is awful for trying to upload photos.

Pray today:
For travel: We are headed to Nairobi! I declare no luggage or persons shall be lost enroute nor shall anyone fall ill.
For health: Malaria and typhoid are rampant! But they have no place in my body
For my heart: I've dreamt my entire life of going to Africa. It's finally happening, I am afraid it's going to be everything and nothing that I expect at the same time.
