Hey Hey Hey!!
Lots of exciting things happened this week!
So, unfortunately...our baptism fell through. We think the
April's husband had something to do with it because now they want to get
baptized on September 16th this year. Needless to say, they were dropped
immediately. They still came to church though, so hopefully they'll stay strong
till the 16th of September and afterwards!
We did pick up the former investigator that came to church
though! She now has a baptismal date for the 18th of February and were going to
baptize her 8 year old daughter as well!! She is almost solid (just has to read
when we ask her too!! Bu I'm sure she will!). She went to the Relief Society
broadcast with sisters from our ward and then fed us the next night! She is on
fire right now. And the cool thing is, her kids are what really brought her
back. When she stopped investigating and her and her husband separated, she
went to 3 other churches and prayed that her kids enjoy it more than they did
the church! But they never did! They always had some sort of thing they found
wrong with it! But she still didn't really want to come back because she was
embarrassed that her and her ex separated and they were married by the church!
She finally got up the courage to come back though a couple of weeks after we
went and knocked on her door! She talked with her kids, and here she is! Elder
Blume and I are so excited for her.
We also had a another investigator named Laura come to
church. She's 23 years old, so this week we're going to try to have a hand off
lesson with the YSA Elders, if she wants to go of course! She has a date for
February 18th and I think she said she loved church! SO we're excited to go see
her again tomorrow at 3PM.
We had transfer calls AND.........I'm staying in Exeter with
Elder Blume!!!!!! I'm actually very excited because I want to be here for the
baptism of Jessica Rocha (lady mentioned previously)!!!
I love you all and I love my mission!
Elder Richardson
