ELDER HYRUM RICHARSDON
WEEKLY LETTER #43
MARCH 16, 2014
I feel like this week was pretty normal. We got a lot done, and our investigators are still progressing..slowly but surely. I think that's the motto for most of our investigators. There's an expression in Chinese that goes "慢慢來" (man4 man4 lai2) which just means "it comes slowly" but it keeps moving. That's where most of our investigators are this week.
Zhou Jiemei, one of the people that I met with Elder
Wang, is still doing really well, but even though she believes in the
Book of Mormon and believes the church is true, she doesn't feel like
she is ready to be baptized. We wanted to schedule a baptismal service
for the end of this month or the beginning of next, and she said that
she was planning on next year! We are going to keep working on helping
her understand the importance of baptism and what it means to her! We'll
keep praying for her!
There was a person's name and number that has been
sitting in our phone for almost a year, and has never been called
before. I called it this week, and he immediately set up! We've already
met with him once, and feel like he is really prepared to hear the
gospel. We hope that he will keep progressing and keep learning!
We will be going to do a temple tour with SALES our recent convert this week! It should be fun!
I
went on exchanges to jingxin this week with Elder Zhou, the Zone
Leader. It was weird having a native companion again, but we had fun. It
was also cool to be in the same apartment as my MTC companion Elder
Bake for a night!
The relief society in the other ward had a activity
on Saturday that all of the missionaries went to. It was basically just a
big talent show performance, and they brought in a couple of local
performing groups along with the performances of the members. All of us
missionaries also performed a musical number.
Church was really good yesterday. It was really cool
to see our investigator Yu Jiemei start to get to know the ward. She
was talking to the Bishop's wife and is good friends with a sister who
just moved back here from America. The sister missionaries thought she
was already a member!
I think I already told you all about my companion
talking in his sleep. Usually it takes me a while to fall asleep, so in
that time he will often wake up and start talking about something. This
week we had a conversation about the window spitting on him. It was
rather entertaining.
I think that's all for this week.
Keep adding oil!
