We have a great success story. It's really not our story it's Meiting's story. The Sisters knew about our Career Class and called us one night and asked if we could help Meiting get ready for an interview to get a scholarship for nursing school. Of course we said we would love to. When we met her she was so shy she wouldn't look us in the eye or hardly say anything.
We first asked her everything she has achieved and done. She has quite an interesting life. She speaks four languages and she has had several jobs. One of which was kind of like a candy stripper in a hospital. So we came up with a great Me in 30 Seconds introduction for her. And practiced over and over how to walk in the room and look at people and shake hands. When they say tell us about yourself, she has her Me In 30 seconds ready. And how to exit with calling people by name and asking for the scholarship.
She GOT the scholarship!!!! She did it!!
We leave tomorrow for Singapore for a week. Zone conference for us is 2 days. It has taken all our free time to get ready for presentations we have to do at conference. We are now ready and have to pack tonight.
This little trip will be every 3 months so we can renew our visas. Malaysia is pretty tough on some passports. One little Sister that was here is from Indonesia and had a hard time every time she left the country to get her visa renewed. She was here,but the Malaysian's sent her home and won't let her back in the country.
Another Sister from Tonga has been detained for 4 days in a room in the airport. Not allowed to have her stuff, etc. One Senior Couple was allowed in one time, but not again to help her I think she was sent home too.
I'm not so sure why they are so picky. But it's their county. Hope our transit is nice and smooth. I do not want to leave here.
Elder Przybyla is doing fantastic learning the language. He remembers the words quickly. I am a whole lot slower. But the other night I started to say my prayers and they sounded funny to me. So I said it Malaysian. The words were simple, but it sounded better and the Lord knows my needs. We always bless the food in their language and usually our morning prayer together too.
Love ya all.
