REFERALS MAKE FOR A SUCCESSFUL WEEK...

Well this week has been a pretty good one. P-day was different seeing as we moved someone most of the day, but they fed us pizza so that was great! Then on Tuesday we had district meeting which went well! 

This week was successful for the work!!! We got 6 referals last Sunday from our ward mission leader who gathered them from the ward members! We were able to contact 4 out of the 6 of them and ended up finding 2 new investigators this week! I just hope I don't get transfered now that we have some new investigators and are helping one less activemember!

We were able to go to an 8 year old baptism this Saturday for a girl named W. Bodily. The Bodily's are a family in the Second Ward that love us. They invite us over all the time for dessert and stuff and have really made this area feel like home! It was great to see their daughter get baptized, and we were even invited to stand in on her confirmation! 

It sounds like you guys have a really busy week ahead of you - that should be good! I am super nervous about transfers. I really want to stay in this area. I have built so many realationships with the ward members and I am not excited to have to do it all again. I am also not sure there is a ward out there more dedicated to missionary work than the Columbia Falls wards. They are amazing! That was pretty much all of this week. 

We haven't been able to ride bikes up here this week at all unfortunately. It just didn't seem to work out. Elder Sagers butt still hurts too so he really doesn't want to ride bikes!

So I can't wait to skype! We will be doing it at the Shaws again! The plan is to do it at 3 p.m. our time. I think that is 2 p.m. for you. I can't wait to see and talk to you guys!

I think that would be a great place to spread Zoey's ashes. That was my first thought when you asked me. Don't wait for me, you guys can do it.

Man that is so awesome that Brentyn is a District  Leader! I was thinking about it and I am the oldest in my district and I have been in this zone the longest except for Elder Peterson and Scott. With the influx of new younger missionaries I guess that's bound to happen. 

Time goes by so fast out here! I really would love to get that newsletter you are talking about putting together so I can see how everyone is doing! It will be really neat to hear how my friends are doing on their missions! I want to hear how they are and what they are doing so talk to their moms please.

Love you guys tons and can't wait to see you on Mothers day!

Love,

Elder Richardson
