This past week has been crazy. To start, we spent 3 days
total running around from doctors office to doctors office all for my stinkin
foot (which still hurts). My first doctors appointment they took xrays and then
told me it was fractured. The second time we went in they told me it wasn't
fractured, but at the very end of our visit they told me to come back the next
day cause now they were unsure on whether or not it was fractured or not! And
finally!, on Thursday they were still indecisive about what was actually wrong
with it. Later that day we got a phone call while we were at a basketball game
for one of our investigators and it was an orthopedic surgeon in another ward
here and he said that my foot will be fine. The ligaments are just sprained and
that it will heal over time. So after about a total of 8-10 hour of running
around from the doctors office to an xray lab and back (multiple times) I got a
30 second phone call that said I'll be fine....it was hectic! But I had fun
learning how to use crutches pretty well! I could crutch backwards, forwards,
side to side, and even criss cross (I'm pretty much a pro).
Next, we picked up a single mom and her 5 kids as
investigators this week!!! they are awesome! And all but 1 play basketball! And
they're really good too (the mom is white and the kids are black). Shauntell
(17) is on girls varsity and is definitely one of the best ball handlers I've
ever seen, Austin (15) is a freshman and has never played basketball before but
has torn it up this year and will be playing on the varsity team next season,
Notosha, Tosha, (12) is on her junior high varsity and is pretty good at her
3's, and Maiyela? (not sure if how it's spelled, 10) and she is the girls girl
of the family and doesn't want to play basketball. They are a super awesome
family and they are all very interested in our message. We have a lesson with
them tonight and we're super excited!
And then finally, we had transfers this weekend!!!! And
believe it or not! I'm being transferred again! I have only been here for 1
transfer and I'm already leaving! I'm going to be heading to the Visalia 4th
Ward to finish training an Elder whose only been out for 6 weeks! His name is
Elder Herman and I'm excited to move again! Sad to leave Elder Brenneman but
excited for my next adventure in a new area!
Well that's it for this week! I love all you guys so
much!
Elder Richardson
