We have a lot to do this month! We are usually at the center everyday ready to teach by around 9:30am. We get lunch from 1-3 and then we're back at it until about 10:30pm. Dinner usually has to be had in shifts. On Friday morning, we take the 8:46am bus to a neighboring town about 2 hours away. We teach there on Fridays and Saturdays and then we come back on the 5:20am train on Sunday morning. Sunday is our free day. It's been crazy.
It's been an exhausting two weeks. We've been thrown in, feeling like we didn't know what we were doing. None of us are teachers and none of us particularly enjoy the teaching aspect of ministry this month. That compounded with the fact that we can't be super open about Jesus makes it difficult.
Lucky for us, today is the Chinese New Year. That means that the entire country of Malaysia will be shut down for the next week or so. We have today through Friday off. We're heading to Kuala Lumpur for our few days off and to celebrate Laura's 23rd birthday. It should be a great time, full of rest and relaxation.
Thank you to Laura's mom and sister, and my mom and dad for donating some money so that we will have nice beds to sleep in when we get to KL!
