ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON #71
SEPTEMBER 29, 2014
Last Monday, for P-Day, we went to Dairy Queen again. It'll probably be the last time because it was so expensive, but it was really delicious. Then we went to a members house and had Chicken Chalupas just like Mom makes them! I ate way too much.
On Tuesday, we met with James. He took us to lunch and we talked about the Book of Mormon. He had a number of concerns about horses and the size of the gold plates and other things like that, but we encouraged him to keep reading and praying about it, and he's willing to keep meeting with us. In the middle of the lesson he told us "I think you two would make really good Catholics" to which we said "We think you would make a great Mormon!" He's a nice guy, and it's really fun to talk with him. Maybe in the future we will go to a Mass with him so that he will come to our church meeting with us!
On Wednesday, we went up the mountain to visit the 2nd Counselor in the Stake Presidency who is a 外國人 (foreigner). He used to be Bishop of the English ward, and we sat down with him for a long time and went through every single name on the list. That will help us with finding Less-Active members a lot! We want to try and contact every single one, and invite them all to come back! Facebook has been really helpful so far. Some people might be too busy to answer the phone, but they will usually see a Facebook message!
While we were there, Elder Wilson tried a Jalapeno pepper...and he almost died. Elder Wilson can't eat anything spicy, even though his hair is flaming red. It was really funny.
On Friday, we went on exchanges. So I went back to a Chinese speaking area where I noticed how much my Chinese has regressed! Actually, it wasn't too bad, it just took a little bit of speaking to get comfortable again. It was fun to be with a native companion again for a day.
Saturday there was a ward baptism for an 8-year-old in the ward. There were a lot of people who came, and his parents invited one of their non-member friends to come. Afterwards, the ward had a Chili Cook-off and a line dancing party! We couldn't do any of the line dancing, but the chili was good! I haven't had chili in a long time!
Our investigators are doing really well. Sis Williams and Sasha will start the lessons in Chinese with some sister missionaries near where they live this week. The whole family came to the ward social, and had a good time. They didn't make it to church, but they did set up for next Saturday, hopefully at the home of the people who referred them. They are coming slowly, but surely!

Jaagie, our Mongolian investigator, is doing even better. We met with her on Saturday and discussed baptism, then she attended the ward baptism for one of the kids in the ward, and then she came to the whole ward social! She started asking questions about when she could get baptism, and her experience in church was better than the last two weeks. She progressed a lot this week; I think she's really excited about baptism!
That's it for this week!
Add oil!
