Hey ya'll,
So first and foremost...TRANSFER CALLS CAME!!! And...Elder
Witt is getting transferred! He is going to one of the more southern regions in
our mission into what we call a "zebra" area (English and Spanish)...
So I'm sad to see Elder Witt go. I won't lie, it's been a
rough 3 months. But we've both grown. I definitely learned and started to have
more growth in other aspects of what it means to be a missionary from him.
Elder Witt definitely understands the responsibility in his calling as a
missionary. He knows that he would never want to make the church look bad
in any way shape or form. He has a very genuine heart for people. When they
tell us about the tragedies that they have had in their life, you can tell that
Elder Witt loves them and sometimes, as they are weeping, telling us their
problems life has given them; he WEEPS with them. That's something that I want
to be more like. Elder Witt definitely has a sense of Christlike love. I think
back in the scriptures when it talks about how Jesus wept over the death of
Lazarus (John 11). Elder Witt reminds me of that so much. Just the Christ-like
love he shows towards others. I'm going to miss him and know that he will do
well. He is going to do very well.
I'm grateful for the opportunity that God gave me to
train Elder Witt. I'm thankful for my mission president and the fact that he's
worthy of the Spirit of God that inspired him to call me as a trainer and that
I should train him.
The only other really big thing that happened this week is
one simple fact...WE HAVE 0 INVESTIGATORS!!! Haha literally none of them are
progressing in the lessons that we have been called to share and aren't keeping
any commitments..so we had to let them go ,unfortunately. But hey, that just
means that God knows there are other prepared people for us to go find!
Also, WE CAN LISTEN TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M
SO BEYOND HAPPY!!! I HAVE SUCH A NEW FOUND LOVE FOR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! So if
anybody really want sto make my day...I would love some Christmas CD's
ASAP!!!!!!
Love you all,
Elder Richardson
P.S. My new comps name is Elder Thornton! I'll be going to
get him tomorrow!!
