Hello all you WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!,
SO...this last week was crazy, insane, and wonderful all at
the same time!!! I got transferred down to Exeter, back in the mighty Visalia
ZONE!! And it's wonderful! My new companion's name is Elder Blume. He is
AWESOME!! He and I are like 2 literal peas in a pod! He is super funny. We love
to goof off (which is good and bad, but we're getting a handle on it). He's
been out just a little longer than I have. He's from the Ogden, Utah area.
He turns 20 on New Years (mom you should send him a gift!). He's the 2nd out of
5 (I believe...he's not in the room right now so I can't reaffirm that).
Overall, Elder Blume is a fun, hardworking, serviceable (he's the most service
minded missionary I've ever met! ),and very humorous!
Exeter is pretty cool. I'm in a car!! After almost a year of
biking, I finally made it back to a car area!! Woohoo!! We actually cover a few
different cities besides Exeter. We cover Farmersville, Woodlake, Three Rivers,
and a few other places. We even are allowed to go proselyte up in the Sequoia
National park area (but we don't have the miles for that)! We have a good
amount of investigators. But we are going to be cracking down this week on
whose going to progress an who is not.
We found 3 new investigators this week (well...they're all
new to me). We found a Scottish family (William and Chelsea and their 7 year
old daughter Tabitha). They are really cool and very bible versed. They are
interested in how we believe that we have prophets here on the Earth today and
that they are like prophets of old. We actually found out that earlier in
William's life...he was baptized a member of our church!! It was crazy!
The other two are named Ray and Sasha. They are a referral
from one of the members of the stake presidency here. We went over to another
members home and taught them the first lesson. It went very well. Sasha had
questions bout why we need to be baptized an why we need to have the priesthood
to do so as well.
I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!! And
if you haven't had the chance yet...go check out the Church's new Christmas
video! It is AMAZING!! GO to Mormon.org and check it out!!
Love you all,
Elder Richardson
