Dear Family,
Well, it has been a crazy week. The Johnson’s flew home to Spanish Fork, Ut. Pres. and Sister White went to Vietnam. Fowlers and Calls went on a day trip to Angkor Wat. That left Elder and Sister Blodgett her in charge. Elder Hoare and I played taxi to the airport in our 5 speed Toyota mini-van 3 times. The best was picking up President White and his wife and getting a full report on their Vietnam trip. They went to meet the couples there.
Also we have been playing real estate agent here trying to get a new house for four Elders. Two or three times I have been calling people on the phone, asking about their houses and scheduling times we can go through it. At the end of the phone conversation one lady asked what nationality I was. So I don’t sound like a native, but she complimented me on my language. She told me my language was good. It is fun stuff!!
Dalyyaa, the sounds of Sunday lady met with us again and it was pretty rough. She said she prayed but didn’t have any answer. Also she told us she is a teacher at her church and she couldn’t accept Joseph Smith and that we should spend our time with those who don’t know Christ. We are still friends but she does not want to study with us .
However we must have gotten her thinking as she had been to talk to someone up higher in the church about Joseph Smith, Baptisms for the Dead, and Eternal Families. They won’t except these. Again she praised us for what we were doing, but. . . .
The high light of the week was Sunday Marin and his wife and four children all came to church. They sat down before I saw them. I only saw the Dad and was in the process of inviting him to sit by some members then I saw the rest of the family sitting down. It was great to see the whole family. They have finished the first discussion and seemed only so-so interested. We decided to test them and said, “ We invite you to church”. They all came and the kids really had fun in the Primary Class.
Busy, busy here! Thanks for all the letters, and pictures. Nick Hammer you have grown 2 ft.!!!

Love your Son, Brother, Missionary,
