Hello
Hello,
Woke up at 3 on Wednesday – had to
drive into London and pick up Elder Cuche! And may I just say I love the guy!
We get along just great – two peas in a pod.
The rest of the week was up and down.
Neil and Bob, our Chinese investigators, are having second thoughts about their
baptism dates. We are helping them out but it’s not looking too good at the
moment. Makes me sad but we are going to do all we can. They are just scared
about what people in China would think of them and they are scared they couldn’t
keep with it. We are going to show them the church’s website in China. Hopefully
that will help.
We had interviews with our president
yesterday. He is a good man. I enjoy meeting with President Jordan and the rest
of my zone very much.
Elder Cuche and I had to get people
onto the right trains and what not. We started at 9, finished at 7, then went out
talking to students at the uni. The second person we met was a girl named
Melany. She is from South Africa. We invited her to the YSA Family Home Evening
and she came! Bingo. We are seeing her tomorrow and she is so curious to learn
more! We had a fun evening with her and the other YSA. She wanted to know why
our church has so many young people when other churches only have old people. Because it is true!!! And it brings people a
sense of happiness that is found nowhere else! And we just have fun I suppose.
There was some anti-cult thing going
on in Norwich today and one of the guys called to me in a rather derogatory
manner and gave me a pamphlet and said, "You will need this, Mormon. Worship
Jesus Christ not Joseph Smith."
I didn’t get mad because I thought
of Melany coming to the Family Home Evening and the spirit we felt there. And I
thought of teaching her the Plan of Salvation and all the questions it can
answer for her. So no hard feelings, old bean.
Well that’s all I have for this week.
Love you all.
Cheerio,
Elder
Purdy
