Hey!
This week honesty was one of my worst weeks other than conference. We had 4 appointments
set up this week with some of our investigators and they all got cancelled. One of them took an emergency trip to Missoula. Some of them are in England, and D's car broke and he had to take it to his shop and he has been there all week trying to fix it. We were able to teach a couple lessons but nothing that really stood out unfortunately.
D. is still on track to be baptized this Saturday! We are going to meet with him on Wednesday. A's baptism date is going to be pushed back a week because they are getting back from England a little later than they thought.
Conference was great! I would say this is the first time I watched conference because I wanted to, not because someone else made me. And what a change. I found that listening and taking notes made it go by so fast. It was way better than sleeping! Priesthood session was amazing this year and is always my favorite session although it wasn't near the same without Dad. :(
After the Sunday morning session Elder Shaw took Elder Sagers ad I for a drive up to Glacier! It is so beautiful now that the snow has started to melt. We even were able to listen to the first part of the second session of Conference in the car while we were in Glacier. It was amazing!
My favorite talk was definitely Elder Hollands. I love the urgency and sincerity he speaks with. It hit me hard. I loved a lot of speakers though. I wish I brought my notes so I could share a few thoughts but I forgot them. Sorry!
I don't know if you noticed but at least 5 times the Saviors last words to the apostles were brought up. "Go ye therefore teaching all nations, Baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!". I think they made it apparent what we need to be doing why we are on earth for this short period of time. We were sent here to learn and grow but to also teach and help others learn and grow. That is my challenge to you guys - To try and have at least one gospel centered conversation with someone you know this week.
The weather here has been great up until the last 3 days. it was in the high 50s, low 60s and the sun was out! There were even a few days that we wore short sleeve shirts! It snowed again last night. I have grown to dislike the snow strongly. But everything is turning really really green. I have never seen more green than what was on a Palo Verde tree so it is quite amazing!
Well I love you guys tons. Thanks for all you do for me!
Love - Elder Richardson
