As you can imagine, there wasn't a whole lot of news to report in this e-mail, which came only 2 days after we talked to Eric on Mother's Day. I would like to share one story he related.
Hyatu is a man from Afghanistan who comes from a Muslim background. Elders Chan and Hansen met him on the street about 6 months ago. Apparently, about a month later, Hyatu was praying and felt like he should talk to the missionaries again, but didn't know how to find them. Then, last week, he saw them on the bus, approached them and asked them to come teach him. For the protection and safety of both the church and the individual involved, the missionaries have been instructed to tread very carefully when teaching Muslims. President Stock interviewed Hyatu and gave the Elders permission to teach him slowly, which they have begun to do. I'll try to report in the future on how this goes.

About Me
For the next two years I will be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am excited to spread the good word of the gospel that has helped me so much in my life. I will be laboring in the England Leeds Mission and I will be speaking Mandarin Chinese. I am excited and nervous for this challenge. I don't know exactly what to expect but I know that this is what I should be doing at this point in my life. Stay tuned here and you can see what England has in store for me! and write me letters... please!
