Honestly
this week was pretty worthless unfortunately. Other than Christmas of
course! It was so nice to see you guys! I wish we could have talked
longer but rules are rules. haha. Anyway I did get both packages so
thank you to kyle, Lori, and Barbara. Also thanks to everyone that
sent Christmas cards my way. They are much appreciated.
So I think we
only taught 2 lessons this week and they were to less actives. Samantha
(the chicken lady) canceled our appointment and now won't answer
her phone. :/ Abby was out of town until saturday so we are going to
see her at least once this week. Here is a funny story for you guys.
About 2 weeks ago at the end of a lesson at Abby's house she told us
how she was making an old western dress for a cowboy ball the
Saturday after Christmas. She was so excited because she had finally
found a date. Yesterday at church we were talking to our Ward Mission Leader in
first ward (Abby is in 2nd ward) and he was telling us about the
cowboy ball he went to the night before. We were about to ask him if he
saw Abby there when he told us his dates name. It was Abby. Haha.
After the little dance I guess she knew he was Mormon but he had no
idea she was investigating. They ended up talking about the church a
little bit on their way home. Elder McKee and I thought that was
pretty funny.
Anyway, Wednesday we tried to see some some people but
everyone was busy or out of town. Thursday we saw a couple less
actives the P. family and Brother B.. Brother B. is an older blind man.
I love going over there because he has some really cool stories.
Friday was spent driving the zone leaders all over Kalispell since he
missionaries in Big Fork were using their truck because
theirs is getting fixed. So we were with them all Friday which was
fun but we didn't get anything done. Then we tracted all day Saturday
basically with no luck! :( But that night we went to a "Late
Christmas Party" at Brother F's house. I found out he is
a big bow hunter so needless to say we get along really well. He took
me to his hunting room and showed me his bow and everything. He
shoots a Bowtech 82nd Airborne. They are pretty nice bows and he owns
2 of them.
Yesterday was a pretty typical Sunday although we
found out we have the opportunity to talk in 1st wards sacrament
meeting on the 20th of January which I'm kind of nervous
about.
It sounds like Dad had a good time hunting this week but I'll
write him so you don't have to hear all of that. I think that's it for
this week. I hope you feel better Mom!!!! And I'm sorry about aunt
Suzy, but that is why our religion is so great!
We have the knowledge
that we will be able to see her again and nobody else has that.
-Love,
Elder Richardson
JAKE'S LETTER TO SCOTT ON HUNTING:
That sounds awesome. That 4x4 sound like a nice buck. do you think those guys that drove down there even knew he was there? Im glad your seeing deer and Bucks. Sounds like you have been able to make a few stalks which is awesome. Keep with it you will get in range one of these times. Think of how many stalks I made until I shot my deer. So do you think you are going to hunt in January? If you do would you shoot that 3x2 you keep seeing and end your year? He sounds like a cool buck and you have some history with him. Good luck and keep practicing. Elder Hemenway who is the big hunter from Orem is Serving in an area call Thompson Falls. He has a video of him feeding a 8 point whitetail (120") an apple in their Backyard ill try and see if I can send it to you. I love hearing about your hunting experiences so keep them coming. lol
-Love you,
Elder Richardson
P.S. Help mom feel better - haha
