Dear Family, This week was very long, and full of interesting experiences.   We had more people cancel on us, not answer their phones, or not show up to appointments than I have ever had on my mission. :(          There were two times when we had members following us to appointments and when we arrived there, then the investigator informed          us that they wouldn't be able to meet.  Thankfully, we have really awesome members who understand how the work goes.   This past week, all of our solid investigators told us they wouldn't be able to meet except for on Sunday at church, so we were a little         disappointed we weren't going to be able to see them, but I would rather have them be able to come to church on sundays, and         not be able to meet us, than the other way around.   We tried to get creative in the ways we used time wisely (<- or attempted to).  We decided to try contacting in some         neighbourhoods near member's homes that we hadn't tried before.  So, we find one neighbourhood around a member's home        that we recently visited, and decided to go there.  Well, when we got on a bus bound for the place, we overshot it a bit, and        decided to just go out contacting there.  There were a ton of empty houses from the 70's, and as we walked deeper into       the place, it all of a sudden turned into the Beverly Hills of KL, all giant mansions with tons of fancy cars.... so no one wanted        to talk to us... and there wasn't anyone to talk to... too many fancy gates.  I was feeling very down (as I now do when there        isn't anyone to talk to... besides the comp).  We randomly appeared at the city park, Titiwangsa, so we decided to walk by       the lake.  It was full of melayu muslims, so we were feeling even more disappointed.  Then, out of the blue, we hear       "wanagarm" and an indian man grinning at us.  I responded in the 10 tamil words I know, haha, and then he starts flying at        me in tamil.  I told him we only spoke english and bahasa, and he told me he had met missionaries in the past that spoke tamil.         We sat down on a bench with him, and shared a brief message with him.  He kept saying how happy he was to see us        and talk.  He wasn't interested in meeting again, but he really appreciated us lifting his spirits.  It lifted ours too.   Super cool experience. I was sitting on a train near the Putra World Trade Center, when this guy about my age comes and sits across from me.          He looked European, so I asked where he was from.  He was from Paris, and was doing a study abroad here at a         malaysian university.  He saw a Book of Mormon in my hands, and asked if I was a mormon.  It turns out that he did a        foreign exchange in Colorado, and his host family were church members.  He remembered how nice they were to him,       and told us he was really impressed with them.  I invited him to come to the YSA activity (yesterday), and he seemed       really excited to come.  \               *fast forward to Sunday** Antoine and 3 of his friends frmo France came to the YSA Thanksgiving       dinner at the Moore's house, and had such a good time.  We had copies of the Book of Mormon in French for them.         They were shocked at how there were so many ysa people coming together from so many different races and backgrounds,         and that we would invite them/give them copies in French.  They were so cool.  One of them is interested in coming to a         Sunday service.  I was able to sit by them and talk about our beliefs with them, and they were thankful that they knew         more now.  It's the little things like that, our efforts in bringing the message 'forth out of obscurity' that make this work so cool.   So this whole week was super difficult/trying, but Sunday made it ALL worth it.  I have a quote on my desk that says,         "believe with all your heart that how you live your life makes a difference".         There were so many times I wanted to give        up, and was tempted to just take the easy way out, but we kept remembering this quote, and that there was a reason        why we had to always stay faithful.  It's interesting that there is definitely an opposition in all things, good and bad, so       that we can fully appreciate the miracles that happen in our life.  I know that was the case for this past week.  The whole       week preceding Sunday was very trying, but when Sunday came, it was such a stark contrast that the 6 days before       sunday seem pale in comparison!   What happened sunday? We had 4 people come to church, and each person had a member with them to explain things, to answer questions during         classes, and each were invited to come over to their home.  All four of the people repeatedly told us that they are for sure         getting baptized.  The members were so great for all of them.  The members take so much initiative- calling investigators and         inviting them over/to church independent of the missionaries!  Bringing food/treats for them too!  I love it.   After church we had the YSA activity at the Moores.  The Moores are some of the greatest people on earth.  We actually         went over to help make some of the food on Saturday with one of the people we're meeting with, and it turned out to be         much more than we had expected.  haha.  Sister Moore has a very specific (extremely efficient and high quality) way of         doing things, and she expects everyone who is contributing to the final product to follow the same way.  Power to her.          haha we were so afraid of cutting the vegetables the wrong way!  In the end, everything turned out so nice.  The best         part of it all was that we had 6 people there, four of which were our friends frmo France.  One of our investigators, John,         had such a good time.  It was so great to see the YSA welcome him in.  It was also good to see a lot of familiar faces from         around the district.   After the activity, we had Beh (from Klang) follow us to Padmah's house, to have an appointment with Deborah.         It was so great to be with all of them- all of them are people that I have helped prepare for baptism.  Deborah was         so appreciative of the gospel in her life, and her decision to be baptized in 2 weeks.  Padmah also said how proud she        was of her church, the gospel, and her big family of friends.   I know I'm missing a lot... long story short, it was a good week.  We go to Singapore on Thanksgiving for MLC.   Ok bai\ Elder Robinson here, four of which were our friends frmo France.  One of our investigators, John, had such a good time.          around the district.   After the activity, we had Beh (from Klang) follow us to Padmah's house, to have an appointment with         Deborah.  It was so great to be with all of them- all of them are people that I have helped prepare for           baptism.  Deborah was so appreciative of the gospel in her life, and her decision to be baptized in         2 weeks.  Padmah also said how proud she was of her church, the gospel, and her big family of friends.   I know I'm missing a lot... long story short, it was a good week.  We go to Singapore on Thanksgiving for MLC.   Ok bai\ Elder Robinson Dear Family,
