ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON #88 -- JAN 26, 2015

ELDER HYRUM RICHARDSON LETTER #88
JANUARY 26, 2015

Well it was a short week, but there was still a lot that happened, just like every week!

Wednesday we had a fun P-Day at the golf range. I'm definitely not very good at golf, but I got some tips from one of the other Elders and I hit one or two really good ones, which made me feel really successful! The funniest part was Elder Greenhalgh, one of the missionaries in our district. He was a baseball player in high school so he grabbed the driver and started whacking the golf balls as hard as he could. I think he broke the club and he could never hit the ball straight, but it was still really funny!

The temple was great, as it usually is. While we were helping with sealings, the officiator had me start reading the names because they were all in French or German! They were pretty difficult to pronounce, but I'm sure those people are super concerned about correct pronunciation, they are just glad that the work is getting done!

I decided to start the Book of Mormon again. I figured out that I can finish it again before the end of my mission. I've already learned a lot from it, as it is every time that you reread the scriptures. It always makes me think of this story about Blueberries from a Liahona that I read once: http://goo.gl/y9zzVK

On Thursday, we went to help a member move a couch out of their families apartment. It wasn't a particularly heavy couch, but it was really difficult to get it out of the hallway and small door and into the elevator. It was stuck for a while, but then we finally got it out!

Probably the most eventful thing this week was that we had pig brain for dinner! We went to Zhou Ba's house for dinner on Sunday, and he pulled out two big pig skulls, and started pulling the meat off for everyone to eat. They also stuck some chopsticks through the eye socket and pulled out some brain to share. I tried some and it wasn't too bad!

Our Ward Council is funny because there are almost as many kids as adults in there! In a small ward, lots of families have both the father and the mother in the ward council, so the kids join in as well!

That's about it for this week. Our investigators are doing really well. Mostly just slow and steady :)

Have a good week!
