To their dismay, as Elder Christensen and his Orem, Utah companion Elder Thurber got to get a treat for their birthdays, they discovered that the jello was coffee flavor. Yum. The Daniels took the Branch President and his wife and their investigator along with the missionaries out to eat. Here is what Sister Daniels wrote about the Branch President and the Branch:
I just saw you son today and he translated for me during a fireside. He also spoke at church and passed the sacrament. He will keep very busy in this little branch. He is doing so well. When ever I see him he has that very cute smile of his always. He looks happy and him and Elder Thurber seem so be doing great. My regret as I am sitting here writing to you is that we did not get our camera out and take a picture of this branch for you. The branch president and his wife are just this young couple. They do speak english and they are wonderful. President Otahara and his wife look like they could be models and are warm and wonderful. I think there maybe were 25 people at church and mostly women. I wish we could figure out how to share this wonderful gospel and keep them active once we have baptized them. It is a big problem here, as in many other places.
