ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON WEEKLY EMAIL #51
MAY 11, 2014
It was a pretty solid week. I was kinda sick for a lot of it, but I'm still alive! And that's what's important.
All
of our investigators seemed to stop answering our phone calls this
week. We are especially sad about Brother Li who we haven't been able to
contact for about two weeks. But we keep praying for him and we fasted
for him yesterday. We have faith that he will come back!
Last Wednesday, we had an English party. I'm the
English Leader here, so I had to make sure that it would come off
smoothly. For a treat at the end we had S'mores. We used these digestive
crackers that taste somewhat like graham crackers and had some of the
YM roast marshmallows in the chapel oven for us. It was a hit! Of
course, they all thought it was a little too sweet, but it was still
good.
This week we ran into a American member who is in a
different world. We were eating at Subway at the time, so she came in
and bought us 15 Subway cookies! We shared some with the sisters, and
also with a truck driver on the street who looked tired. They were
really good.
We also got gifted tea by a guy we were talking to
on the street, and we didn't know what to do with it, so we accepted it
and later just left it on a table outside a restaurant.
We visited somebody on "Tiger Forest Street."
Elder Farrell and I fought all this week about whose mom is better. He doesn't know a losing battle when he sees one.
Elder Farrell's bike doesn't have a kickstand, so
occasionally he has to lean his on mine. And inevitably, every time he
does, I sing "Lean on Me." I just can't resist.
Today for P-Day, we are going to eat with Wu Mama and then are hopefully going to go up the Taibei 101!
This Thursday is "Hump Day." I'll hit one year on the mission!
Have a good week! Add oil!
Elder Richardson
