AN ALRIGHT WEEK...

Hey Guys,

This week has been an alright one. Church yesterday was great and we had an awesome lesson with a guy named C. We got to see a couple dead bodies when we visited him at work this week at the funeral home - haha. Anyway, he is an awesome guy and is already thinking about baptism after our lesson yesterday! We had to push both our baptism dates for our other investigators back to the 8th and 15th. But I think they should both turn out! We got canceled on a lot this week which is a bummer :/

The ward members here are pretty awesome! They are all into hunting and fishing for the most part so we connect well! I really like the 3rd ward! The bishop for the 3rd ward is great and is so missionary minded!

We aren't going shed hunting this week but we are next week as of right now! Today we are going to the Buffalo Bill Museum which should be cool. I think we are also going to check out some outdoor stores or something.

I'm glad you had a good time at camp Dad! Just wish I could have been there. I don't think we have ever gone to a scout camp without each other. When I get back we are for sure teaching the archery merit badge together again- haha.

We were over at the other Elders apartment here in Cody last night and I got to talking with Elder Hayes, our district leader. I found out he just learned how to fly fish. He knows some guy that just bought a 500 acre ranch that has about 2 miles of the Yellowstone River on it! They are opening up a fly fishing lodge thing there!! He said when we get done with our missions he would take me up there! That was pretty exciting!

Have you had a chance to borrow and read the stories about my Great Great Grandfather yet? Not yet, I didn't see them at church yesterday.
So does that brother and sister that work there in the musueam count as a senior couple in your area? I guess technically but they aren't a part of the Montana Billings Mission.
Do you have any senior couples like Brother & Sister Shaw? Kind of. There are 4 senior couples working at the Murals building for like 3 months. They are super nice and one of them, The Durrants, fed us dinner one night. They are very nice but not the Shaws. One of the couples, the Windertons I think. are from heber and know Grandma and Grandpa! There is also a sister serving in Powell right now from heber.
Have you been able to keep in touch with anyone from Columbia Falls? I got an email from the Shaws last week and one from Chris 2 weeks ago.

I Love you guys tons!

Elder Richardson

P.S. I got your package and everything was fine! Thanks so much!!!!

Hey Dad,

I'm glad you had a good time at camp! It feels weird to look at the pictures and not be there! I can't wait to get back and go camping! How many boys went?

I'm pretty sure Nick Peppe plays for FC Tucson. Or at least he was on the roster before I left. It would be fun to go to one of their games!

I have decided you should sell your bow and buy a New Strother Wrath off Archery talk for cheap. I know you would shoot better with it! Just a thought! I miss shooting bows so muchhhhh!!!! So many people here have them and I just want to go and shoot with them!

By the way it is the BEST OF THE WEST, not Westerm Extreme - haha. They are 2 different shows. We are going to see if we can do some reloading or something for them! I don't know if they will let us they seem to like to keep to themselves.

We have a 2012 Ford Fusion and bikes. We have only used the bikes once because Cody is pretty small and we have had plenty of miles! And yes, I got a flat tire in C-Falls and had to buy a new tube because the old one basically exploded when I went up a curb!

Tell Jeremy when I get back I am going hunting with him! lol. Also see if you can con Jake Lindsey into taking me archery hunting when I get back -haha!

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
