Okay this week has been crazy for real. Oh the
life. But let me tell you about transfers. I am leaving Red Leaf and
going all the way down to Parker to be in the Auburn Hills and Newlin
Meadows wards!! Crazy! But I am super excited. My new companion is going
to be Sister Larson. Don't know her but I have heard good things so it's
going to be great! Also our mission is expanding. We received two new
stakes from the Fort Collins and Colorado Springs mission. So that is
fun!
I don't even honestly know what happened all this week.
It was a good one though until the end when the craziness started. But
we actually got to see a lot of people. We taught more than we have in a
while and we handed out 3 Book of Mormons, which is a huge deal for
this area. But now I am on to new adventures.
We had a really
good district meeting and took lots of fun pictures. And then the
craziness started. We got a call on Saturday from President telling us
that a sister went home for health reasons and so we were now in a trio
with her companion. I was super excited to be with Sister Tuitavake for
her last couple of days in the mission but it was so sad to see her
companion go. She was awesome. So it was really crazy because we were
now covering two areas and trying to do everything that Sister Tui needed to
do before she left and still try to see people we wanted to see because
we knew that we were leaving. So I can't even tell you what happened
cause it was so crazy but it was also really good. It was cool to be
with her and see her teach her last couple of days in the mission field.
We sent her away today so that was sad.
Sunday
I went to Church by myself.... but don't worry, I had a member with me
all the time. But our churches started at the same time and we both
wanted to go cause it was our last times there so we just split up. It
was an awkward day for me. A) I didn't have my companion even though I
was with other people, it's not the same, 2) we talked about eternal
marriage all day, and D) I am just an awkward soul.
Yesterday
was awesome though! We did a mission 5K since it was a holiday and we
couldn't email anyway. So it was so fun to see everyone from the
mission. But the running part on the other hand.... not so fun. Just
kidding it was great. Our zone was the best though. So one of our Elders
has a back injury so his companion pushed him in a chair the whole way.
It was awesome. And we handed out a Book of Mormon. Good times! It
probably wasn't really 3 miles but it sure did feel like it. But it was
so fun. We all just had a blast. I got to see so many people. It was
great.
Sorry I wish I had more things to tell you but my brain
is so scatterbrained and stressed that nothing else is coming to my
mind. But I will send pictures! :)
Anyway I am so grateful to
be out here doing the Lords work and serving these people. I hope you
all have a wonderful week and give lots of hugs and kisses to the new
babies for me!!!
Much love,
Sister Richards
