A week of Halloween!

Dear Everyone,

 

I had a very happy Halloween! It was quite a celebration out here. They light off fireworks and you see alot of crazy people dressed up. But thankfully I had the opportunity to help with the ward halloween activity. We had lots of nonmembers there. and they were able to a comfortable way to be in the church. We had lots of candy. And we thought it would be useful to putmormon.org cards on all of the candy and our names and numbers. So that they could bet a hold of us to teach them more.

 

This week we taught a lady and her son. Their names are Naomi and Bue. They are so great. she recently lost her brother, so her heart is really soft. She wants to know where he is at. So we explained the spirit world, and the members where able to bear powerful testimony of the atonement and that they would see him again. Naomi and Bue are so great. It was raining, so they gave us a ride back home :)

 

Last Wednesday we went to our recent convert Shuet Yee's for lunch. She fixed us Lamb chops. I have never had lamb before, but that wasn't the strangest thing I had all day. Later that night we went to a members home. She is from Nigeria and her husband from Whales. She fixed us some african food. we had ox tail soup. And yes it was actual Ox tail. but boy was it delicious. I absolutely love african food :) and foo foo. It is hard to describe what it is, but it is so good.

 

We are working with this boy name Terrence. He is 23 and has been really taking on board our message. He was taught awhile ago, but faced really bad peer pressure so dropped the missionaries. But now he is starting to get back into it. We were teaching about the restoration and he had a testimony that this was God's church on the earth. So we invited him to baptism and he will be preparing for his baptism on the 30th of November :)

 

More great news! We were at a meeting with other missionaries last night and their investigators. We saw Rikesh, the boy me and Elder Kunzler were teaching in Liverpool. He was the one that his dad wouldn't let him be baptized. Saturday his dad said he could be baptized!! I was so shocked. I gave him a big hug :) Rikesh will be baptized on the 16th of November :) I am so excited for him! He will be a great member of the church.

 

Thank you all so much for all the love and support I have :) I love you all

 

Love Elder Hammond
