Anyway this week was a little bit of a struggle.
Tuesday
we got to have some fun at the Task Force. Except everyone thinks I am
an angry child. NOT TRUE!!! So they of course teased me to no end there.
Oh well. We were doing a lot of walking because we are running out of
miles so that is fun. But it is fun cause then we were out talking to a
lot more people than we normally would probably. And I just love talking
to people. We got to teach the Kirsten family. They are an interesting
bunch. But it's a little sad because they don't have much knowledge about
the Gospel. My heart breaks for them.
Wednesday we got to go
back to the Task Force to fill lots and lots of envelopes. That was
fun. Nothing like mundane tedious tasks that I don't have to use brain
power for. Then we got to have interviews with President and Sister
Mendenhall and that is always a joy. They truly are wonderful people. We
also got to go to mutual to teach the youth how to make a contact. The
first group was a little rough but then we got the hang of things. And
it was really cool though to help them get thinking about talking about
the Gospel to their friends. We challenged them to bear their testimony
on Sunday too and so many did. It really was a cool sight to see all the
youth in the Ward go up and bear their testimonies. And they were all
different too, that was the other cool thing. It was great.
Thursday
we had district meeting. That was pretty good. I felt the Spirit a lot
when we were doing a role play. Elder Olsen was on exchanges and he
reminded me of my purpose here. I am here to do what Christ would do. To
help serve and love those around me. I did have a cool experience. We
were coming up to a mail lady and I was scared to talk to her because
she was the mail lady and I didn't think she would listen. But then I
thought, "what would Jesus do?" and I was overcome with a feeling of
love for this lady. And she did listen for a bit but wasn't interested.
But I think she needed to know that God knew where she was.
Friday
was a little bit scary. I thought I was going to be kicked out of the
area. But I will not go into details cause that is not necessary cause
everything is all good now. We met with a basher and I was just done
with him. It was draining talking to him. People just don't listen to us.
But then we met Norm. He is the cutest old man ever. We just talked to
him about how he has seen God in his life. We were there for an hour and
he just told us story after story. It was so cute. But it was funny
because I felt like sharing a
scripture from the Book of Mormon but I
knew I had to quote it and not read it from the actual page. So I did
and it was "I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all
things". So I told him that and he agreed and said that's what his bible
said too. And then he went on a rant about how the Book of Mormon was
false and that it says different things. When we left I just laughed
because I knew that I just needed to quote it. The Book is true! Then we
had a Trunk or Treat for Auburn Hills. That was fun and holy cow, there
were a ton of people. But it was fun. And I got even more candy.

Saturday
was amazing. I was just on a Spiritual high. We were walking everywhere
and talking with everyone and it was just great. I got a nice burn to
show for it too. But we ran into some cool people. We ran into a member
that lives in our ward but goes to another one. And they fed us lunch so
that was super nice. So we helped them wrap presents for their kids
birthday. And they had superhero wrapping paper. I want some. It was so
cool. Anyway, then we met Robert. He is Catholic but hates church
because the Catholic church ruined it for him. But we tried talking to
him about how great it is and gave him a Book of Mormon. He was really
excited and said he would read it and that we could come back next week.
Ballin'. He was so funny and has a really cool story. So I am excited
to meet with him again. We had dinner with the Egan's and their little
boy was so cute. We were leaving and he yells out the door, "GOODBYE
TOOT!!" It was so funny. Gotta love children! :)
Sunday was
great. I actually love Church for 6 hours. I get to feel the Spirit so
strong for so long. Its great! And we got to have a great lesson about
the Plan of Salvation with a little 7 yr old. He is so cute. And I just
love the Plan of Salvation. How grateful I am for the Saviors Atonement.
We would be nothing without him.
I love this Gospel and I
love being a missionary. The Gospel is true and it truly is wonderful.
Keep the faith!! Love you bunches!!!
Much love,
Sister Richards
