Reed Arrives in New York

Reed wrote a long letter with lots of details. He is assigned to Elder Xie, who is from China and is fluent in both English and Mandarin. As Reed writes "I was amazed at his determination to find people." We smiled when we read that by the time Reed struggles with the introduction to people, they have already told him they are not interested.

He helped teach an English class. He wanted to congratulate the class on how well they were learning English and when he said it in what he thought was good Mandarin, they laughed and clapped.
