Props from the Talent Show |
Monday we had Sisters p-day (preparation) and we
just sat around and talked and had lots of candy. It was great fun. We
also watched Meet the Mormons. I only wanted to listen to David
Archuleta sing at the end so... We had dinner with my favorite people,
the Daybells. They are like the happiest family ever. Love it.
Tuesday
was good. We did a lot of service for the food bank and it was so much
fun. Also I found Girl Scout cookies that they let us take home... I
took 4 boxes... 3 of which were Peanut Butter Patties. I just couldn't
help myself. The sad thing is they are pretty much all gone now... :)
Wednesday
was crazy busy. We got to do some service for a member removing rocks
and boy did I get fried. But it was only the arm that has been in a cast
for 2 months.... So many regrets. But it was worth the burn. It was
good to be outside doing yard work again. Then we had another lesson
with Mike, our investigator. That was a little weird. The lesson didn't
flow very well cause something was way off. So we think we are going to
pass him off to the Elders because we don't think we should not teach him
anymore for certain reasons. So we are going to see what happens with
him. But he came to Church so that is great. Then I had to go to
therapy. That was fun. I don't know if I told you about the corn heater
thing they put my arm in but we did that again and it just feels so
nice. My scar is looking good and now I get to do some weight
strengthening. So I have been using a can of Gold Star as my weight. :)
good thing I have some! I still have a lot of burning and problems going
palm down but hopefully that changes soon. Then we had a lesson with
our Scottish friend, B. Andrews. We talked about Lehi's dream and the
different types of people we could be. He was definitely getting what we
were trying to say. So we are slowly working with him. Then we had
another less active member that we got to see. He has a great testimony. I don't know
why he doesn't come to Church yet but hopefully we will keep working
with him.
District Meeting |
Thursday we had a District Meeting that was pretty
good actually. It got me thinking a lot about what I am doing right now.
Lots of food for thought. Thursday we also had a lesson with the
Machados that are active but trying to go to the temple. We shared a
video about blessings. It was from a talk Utchdorf gave awhile ago. Good
stuff.
Friday was a very special day. It was my last day at
therapy, only because the Church won't let me do more than six sessions
or I would have to go home. So she gave me lots of putty and things that
I am going to have to do for the next 6 months probably. No pain, no
gain has been my motto as of late. That is the only way I will get
movement back. I am just scared that I won't do something right and I
won't be able to see my progression. It was very sad leaving the hospital
for the last time. I really liked all my therapists and my doctor. Good
people. We got back and had a lesson with Dana and Michelle. We are
teaching them the lessons again to help them get their testimonies back.
We had dinner with the Martins and we had a really good lesson with
them. I read a scripture that I found recently and it was very tender.
It's 1 Nephi 21:15-16. Look it up. We are in His hands.
Dumb snow--this is what we look like when it snows in April |
Saturday
it snowed...all day... It was a very wet snow and we were not happy, Bob. Not happy. But the Ward had a really awesome talent show that we
went to. There was even a less active member there but he did not want to talk to us at
all. Awko-taco my life. But the talent show was bomb. I wish we would
have thought to do something. I did actually but it was while the talent
show was going on... I am lame.
But that was our week. I loved the superman outfit! I want one! The party sounded like lots of fun!
I hope you have a great week. Thanks for the love and support!!
Much love,
Sister Richards
