ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON LETTER #87
JANUARY 21, 2015
This week is our temple day, which means that our P-Day is on Wednesday and that we are allowed to get up early to email! Transfer weeks always feel really long, and temple weeks also feel really long, so a LOT happened this week!
Last P-Day, we just stayed inside our apartment, ate Pizza Hut, and played Settlers of Catan and BANG for our whole P-Day. It was super fun!
Last Wednesday, we had a really fun English party! The adults played BANG, the kids played UNO and water colored, and we found a gas burner so that we could make s'mores for everyone. Everybody thought they were too sweet, but that's pretty normal. Americans just like really sweet food!
Friday was transfer meeting! Elder Mayhew left me and went really far away to TaiDong, and I'm now with Elder Casper! Elder Casper just came from Jilong, which is near my first area, and he's on his third transfer, which means I'm a "breaker." He's a fun guy and he's got a lot of energy, so we're excited to see a lot of great things happen this transfer!
On Saturday, we met with a guy whose English name is Buddha. One of the less actives in our ward called us out of the blue and wanted to meet with us. She really wants her boyfriend to learn about the church and get baptized! We had a great visit with him and we hope that he will come to church and get his girlfriend's whole family back to church too!
We also met with Jonny. He read to 1 Ne 8 in the BoM already, and got to meet a lot of members at church on Sunday. He really enjoyed learning about the plan of salvation, and we are excited for his progress!
One of the coolest things we did this week was to meet with Brother Liao's parents. I mentioned him last week, and this week his parents wanted us back to learn more. Actually they said that they'd prefer if we came more than once a week. They were a little surprised when we invited them to baptism, but I think that they will learn faster than they think. Brother Liao is a really awesome member in our ward, and he is really excited for his parents to learn the gospel!
Today for P-Day we are going to a golf range that's on top of a 20-story building. I've never been golfing before, so it should be fun!
That's all I can think of this week. Add oil!
