I played an April Fool's joke on Maggie and Nick - told them Dad was going to offer a prayer at General Conference. When they both believed me, I emailed their mission moms and asked them to tell them the truth on Thursday (4/1). Sister Pimentel wrote: "I can't believe she is headed home so soon. Sister Ryser is one of those missionaries we would like to keep forever. I know that would not make you happy but she is dearly loved."
Haojian and us
Manfred!
Manfred's daughter and and him, with missionaries.
Manfred started to realize that we don't have a lot of time to eat so he'd prepare food for us: carrots, tea, cookies, a piece of bread with meat on it. Ha ha.
March 29: Manfred received the Priesthood on Sunday. We came by that night with one of the members and he had his certificate saying that he received the Priesthood hanging up. He told Sis. Hung he will have to find a frame for it!
