I'm doing great! Im not even homesick that much anymore. I've found when you are working all day and staying busy you have no time to think about anything but missionary work. I hope you all are feeling better, everyone up here is sick :(
This last week was a pretty good one. First off, Abby is doing really well. She wants to be baptized 100% but she wants to be baptized in a river! Which would be awesome but she wants to wait until spring when it starts to warm up. We are trying to tell her the blessings she will recieve from being baptized now rather than later. We have a lesson with her this Thursday so we will hopefully have a final answer then! Unfortuanately we have not been able to get back in with Brother W.'s girlfriend, they have been pretty busy.
Some other good news...we have the oppurtunity to speak in 1st ward next week on how members can be better member missionaries! I'm actually kind of excited to speak lol.
Snow shoeing in Glacier National Park was a blast! I love Elder and Sister Shaw! They treat us like their own kids and help us however they can. We went over to a less actives house this week to do some service. His name is Jimmy M. We were planning on just moving a safe and some other thing down to his basement for him, but after we got done he asked us if he could teach us how to reload bullets!!! So Elder McKee and I realoaded 50 .357 shells for him. It was awesome to learn some tricks from him and how to reaload in general.
So I think the weather up here is going to start to get worse. It has been snowing almost non stop the last few days and hasn't got over 20 degrees :( Although we did have some sun shine last week, at least enough to need my sunglasses!
We got transfer calls this morning and only 1 Elder is leaving from our zone. But he is one of my best friends up here. His name is Elder Nielson. He is from Blanding Utah and was serving in Eureka. He leaves tomorrow at for Billings. He is the new online AP. He is now over all online missionary work and works in the mission home. He is excited but sad at the same time.
We are going sledding for P-Day today so that should be fun. I think that is it for now. Oh ya - we also found out when the new missionaries (18 year olds) get here, they are going to divide Columbia Falls and have 2 sets of missionaries here, and I might be training at 3 months into my mission! :/ Im kind of nervous about that. Hope you all have a great week and dont get sick!
Love,
Elder Richardson
p.s. Thanks for the package!
