ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON
WEEKLY LETTER #45
APRIL 30, 2014
Welll, it was certainly an interesting week.
We had a
great English class party last week. We had a lot of small children
there, but I told Elder Garnet "The more chaotic, the better!" One of
the activities involved wrapping people up in toilet paper to be like
Easter Eggs. It went really well.
I was really sad to get the call on Monday that I
would definitely be leaving Zhonghe. It was very different than leaving
Neihu. I think only being there 3 months made it harder to say goodbye.
It was pretty heart-wrenching to say goodbye to Sales and to a few of
the other investigators and members. I really hope that I will get to
see them again soon.
But now, I'm in Song Shan! I might just spent the
rest of my mission in the Taibei area, because now I've been in all
three of the Taibei zones. Song Shan is right in the middle of Taibei,
actually right across the river from my first area Neihu. There are a
LOT of people here, and our proselyting area is actually fairly small
because it's so densely populated.
The ward here is AMAZING. We've already met a lot of
the members and already been fed three times with another one tonight.
There is one member named Wu Mama who really loves missionaries, and she
is the one that has fed us three times already. She is an amazing cook
and apparently she feeds us missionaries once a week, which I am really
looking forward to.
The other interesting thing is that now I have two
companions! We're not really sure why we are in a "tri-companionship"
but it's certainly kind of new and exciting. We are also all new here,
so I am "white-washing" yet again. This area doesn't have a ton of
investigators right now, but we will be finding a lot more and we've
already seen a lot of miracles! I'm sending a picture.
Some other 東西：
Recently, I've been
learning some of the "niceties" that you say in Chinese when you are
parting. A lot of them are similar to English, but one that I like is
"walk slowly." I say that a lot now.
We ate yellow watermelon at a lunch appointment. I'd
never had it before, but it was really good. It tastes exactly the
same, just yellow.
We had a lady this week who told us that we couldn't teach her the gospel because she was "already too old and about to die."
I lost my camera card on Wednesday, but I've already
sent most of those pictures home, so I didn't lose that many I hope.
I'll just buy a new one this week.
It'll be another interesting week on a mission this week. Don't forget to add some oil!
