feb. 16th letter

The wind is fierce, but it hasn't stopped us from working! We've been walking and walking and walking and occasionally taking the bus, and walking some more here in the Hyde Park Ward, contacting many referrals we've received and knocking on the doors of less active members. We stay out of some neighborhoods after dark but I've never particularly felt in danger anywhere yet. In sadder news, we had one of those heartbreaking moments where a golden investigator of ours stopped us because of pressure from his family. It's really unfortunate when this happens, but all we can do is try and be positive and move on. On the other hand, Jamie (our other main investigator) is progressing well and is excited to get baptized in March! He's a great guy, and has been really generous to us in giving us rides to church. We'll be taking him out for Chicago dogs tomorrow. :) Love you everyone! Sorry for the short late email. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know, or if there's anything I can do for you all! - Elder Jared Richardson
