Hello Friends and Family!!

I have big news, I will no longer be serving in Ipoh [Google Maps] I am heading to KL [Kuala Lumpur] tomorrow!!

I had such an amazing time and I seriously learned so much from the great members here!! For my last day in Ipoh I was able to go out with one of the YSA members Sam and go buy some better clothes for the city!!

I am sad to leave Ipoh and I sat last night thinking, "wow, did I do what I could here? Could I have done better?" I got a peaceful feeling saying "You did a lot of great things." I was comforted by that. We are always told that we could do better, I know there's always something I can do a little better, and sometimes that really stresses me out. Sometimes I forget to look at the moments where I walked with God during the days. And now that I look back there is so many moments during Ipoh where the Savior was with me. Some things that I learned were this:

"Some things you can count, don't really count, but the things you can't always count sometimes count the most." In the mission its not always about how many you find or bring to church. But its more important how you treat and build up every individual.

From that I have also learned to "count your many blessings." I was going through a hard time knowing whether or not I was doing a good Job. As I had these feelings I had a good friend suggest that at night I could take a sticky notes and write blessings seen in the day. See how many stack up and it was so amazing. The sticky notes started to cover the wall!!

Besides that I was able to go back to Penang once again and do exchanges there. It was so beautiful and I met so many amazing old friends!
