A PRETTY DIFFERENT WEEK...

Hey Dad,

This week was pretty different with exchanges, a funeral, and a baptism but you can read about that in my other email! The Baptism went great though and it was a great B-Day present! 

Our shed hunt last week was gorgeous and I am going to be in awesome hiking shape if I keep it up haha! These guys hike some crazy crap. No offense but you would probably die. Do you remember that water tank we scouted out by Ruby where we climbed up that huge hill and saw the coati's? Well it is like that for 10 miles hahaha!!! Anyway it was very pretty and I wish you could have been here!

 I have seen some big deer this week 2 - 4x4's already and some other big forky's and 3x3s! Glad you got put in for time for deer!! Let me know if you get drawn! If you draw a December tag while I am gone, I am going to be kinda sad that I wont be there! :( 

The broadcast last night was very good. I hope it motivates the members and in return we get more referals! Teachiing 20 member-present lesson a week is nuts but would be so awesome! 

Anyway I hope you have a great week!

Love you Dad,

Jake

Hey!!

So this week was pretty different. First things first, Elder Griffith got transfered to the Missoula Zone and my new companion is Elder Davis. Elder Davis has been one of the A.P.'s for the last 4.5 months and only has one transfer left. I hope I can learn a lot from him! He also served in Cody for 9 months!!! So he knows the area and the people here really well!!

So this week was shot! Monday was P-day and we went shed hunting all day! Tuesday we had district meeting until 12. Then we e-mailed and did a little shopping. Later that night we did exchanges with the Zone Leaders. Elder Griffith went to Powell until Friday and I stayed in Cody. On Thursday I got in a stupid car accident. I backed into a parked car because the elder who was backing me wasn't paying any attention and kept telling me to come back then when he realized I was going to hit a car he started pounding on the trunk but it was to late. It was only like 25% my fault since I was driving and honestly if I wouldn't have had a backer I wouldn't have hit the car because I would have been paying attention to what I was doing and not some kid that wasn't paying attention. I might get my driving privledges taken away but I'm not sure yet. (Enter parents eye rolls here!) Saturday morning we went to a funeral. Then we got everything ready for the Baptism which went great!! And yesterday church was pretty much all focused on Pioneers which was cool. 

We attended the big broadcast which was great and will hopefully motivate the wards even more. Our ward mission leader, Brother Taggart, is already so awesome though and works real hard. He is going to take us out to lunch sometime this week with Brandon Davis from best of the west which will be sick! I think that is it for now!

 I didn't get your package yet but mail hasn't come today so I am sure it will be here later today! Thank you so much! I hope you feel better Mom!!!

Love,

Elder Richardson

P.S. -  Elder Sagers forwarded these pictures to me.
