Ben is teaching a class at the southern branch of the Penang seminary in Kuala Lumpur this week, so we have picked up our suitcases and joined him. While Ben is teaching his students how to parse and conjugate in Greek, we have pounded the pavement of the capital city. The kids had fun looking around at the wares and spending some of their money for friends in North Carolina. We're all in a flurry of eating curries and durian and mangosteen and drinking coconut juice and teh tarik as we see the days slipping quickly away.
I thought we didn't know many people here in this city but yesterday after Ben preached in a local chinese church we had lunch with new friends, and dinner with other former colleagues. Tonight we'll be going out with the family of one of Ben's students. 'Such a pleasure to make new friends, even though it makes it harder to leave again.
