Hey Everyone!

I hope that all of you have had great weeks! This week has been rather interesting.

On Saturday we got to visit a lot of northern members, including a really cool Hmong family. They were all doing well and are such amazing members who come from almost two hours away every week to go to church. 

On Sunday we had a Skype call with President Hammond. It went really well and we talked a lot about the work in Laos and the goals that we have for it. There are going to be so many great things happening here within the next year that we're here.

We also got to visit a family member of Elder Phasay's, who is on his dad's side of the family. That was way cool, because he had never met anyone from that side of his family (because his dad died when he was young and he then moved to America). They were all so happy to see this kid that they hadn't seen for almost 15 years.

The rest of the week had kind of been an English teaching grind. On Friday we were able to go and play soccer with a lot of English students for an activity though, and that was really fun. 

A really awesome talk that you all should read through is "The Challenge to Become" by President Oaks in 2001. It talks about how a lot of times we think of the church as something that will help us to know something, but more importantly, it should help us to become someone who is better than we are now.

I love all of you! I hope you have a great week and try to serve and love other people. Keep being amazing. Stay frosty.✌🏼

Love and miss ya, 
Elder Ridd
