Hey Dad, hope its going
well at home. We started teaching a couple of people at the MTC., Our first one
is a P.I.(progressive investigator) Catherine has an LDS friend and is
attending BYU with her so she was recommended to us. She's really nice and
willing to listen she has an understanding of God and is pretty much a perfect
investigator. We've already got her praying and she's committed to reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it (Moroni 3:5). Our other one is a bit more
difficult. We've met him once for an hour and it was rough. He's from Japan and
his parents were Buddhists who didn't practice. So we are teaching a man with
zero background in religion. We were told he was interested in the church so we
thought going in he would have an understanding and we wanted to just teach the Atonement. But we couldn't because he didn't know who God, Jesus or the Holy Ghost
are. He didn't know the concept of sin or blessings, so just on those we spent
the hour trying to help him with these new concepts. He's a wonderful guy but
incredibly difficult to teach. I look forward to our future lessons with him
though.
Love your son,
Elder Hoffman
