Hey guys!!!
This week has been a good one. Things seem to be better between Elder Griffith and I and in turn the work has been picking up!
We had Zone training this Tuesday. It was in Lovell and lasted most of the day. It was very good though. I always learn a lot at Zone trainings. We were actually combined with the Wyoming South Zone as well this time so I got to see Elder McKee and a few other people I had previously served around! All in all it was a great meeting.
Wednesday night we had a great meeting with our Ward Mission Leader for the 3rd ward, Brother Taggart. He is the guy that works for the Best of the West! Anyway, we discussed a lot of things and made plans to get investigators and less active members to church! It is amazing what can be accomplished when you have a dedicated WML who makes sure the ward helps. Brother Taggart also gave Elder Griffith and I some sweet Best of the West hats! He is such a nice guy!
We had a couple of decent lessons this week but the best one was Friday night with C. We went and saw him at the funeral home. He wasn't busy so we went to the back and taught him The Plan of Salvation - It went great! He loved everything about it and felt very comfortable during the whole lesson. This Sunday he was the only one in gospel principles class so we gave a lesson on baptism. Everything was going great and I really wanted to ask him to be baptized but for some reason I couldn't. I knew by the spirit that for some reason he would say no or that he wasn't ready. So I asked him if there was anything that would be holding him back from being baptized. He said yes, but said he wasn't ready to share it yet. It was an awesome experience to really let the spirit direct the lesson!
We are supposed to be having a baptism for J. this Saturday but I'm not sure if he really is ready and understands why he is doing this. I feel he is getting baptized for his wife and doesn't understand the enduring to the end part of the gospel. I guess we will see what happens. Also K. is still doing great and is on track to be baptized in two weeks!! I think that is really it as far as investigators go.
We found out that we are getting another set of missionaries in Cody. We are almost positive they are sisters as well which kind of stinks. That means there will be five sets of Sisters and only three sets of Elders in our Zone! :/ President Hopkin who is a counselor in the mission presidency asked us if we had any particular feeling for a certain Ward so we told him that we would rather stay in the 3rd Ward and he agreed, so hopefully we will at least stay in the 3rd Ward.
- No shed hunting today? No, we are going next week!
- What are you going to do today for p-day? Chill, maybe play some soccer and go to some outdoor stores!
- Have you had a chance to read those letters on my Great Great Grandpa...will you make copies for me when you borrow them - if it's allowed? I haven't yet we have been pretty busy and I am not allowed to copy them :(
- I'm going to send your bday box this week...WOW the BIG 20! Anything in particular that you would like? A new pair of slippers or money to buy slippers. I wear slippers all the time and mine have kind of taken a dump and I want to get a nicer pair like mockisins. Maybe a sweet hunting shirt, or a Mindy Gledhill CD - haha. Her voice is amazing!
- Any pictures this week??? No I should have some more next week!
Well I love and appreciate you guys more than words can describe. I hope you guys have an awesome week!!!
Love,
Elder Richardson
