Hey!
It is really starting to feel like Fall around here now! Leaves are changing colors which I have never seen so it is pretty cool and it sure cooled off this last week!
It snowed for about 2 hours last Friday! It was crazy. All the surrounding mountains have a ton of snow on them. I am really not excited for Winter to come around.
Starting tomorrow all of the Elders in the mission have to wear their suit coats at all times. I am not to excited about this as I am not a huge fan of a suit especially if it isn't really cold. But oh well I guess the rule is there for a reason and I will be blessed for following it!
So this last week was pretty good! We had a meeting with our ward mission leader and the Bishop on Tuesday night. It was great to have the Bishop there! We got a few names of people that were on his mind so that will hopefully keep us busy this week. We were able to teach A.C. again this past Wednesday. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and it went very well. It is hard to teach him because he knows all the answers to everything since his sister and mom have both had the lessons. I think they have had missionaries going over to there house for like 4 years. He and his mom came to church this week for all 3 hours again which was great!
We had district meeting this past Thursday. It was a great district meeting especially because I didn't have to do anything this time and just got to sit back and listen. Our District is HUGE! We have 14 missionaries in our District and our district is bigger than at least 5 of our Zones! It feels like going to a Zone Conference instead of a district meeting!
On Friday we were able to do some service for a lady the 2nd ward sisters know. The Lady owns a little Bed and Breakfast type place and needed some help fixing it up. We helped her paint and patch some holes in the ceiling with dry wall. It was pretty sweet to do the dry wall since I have never done anything like that before!
This Sunday was our fast Sunday and the 5th Sunday so it was combined for the 3rd hour! Bishop asked us (Elder Wood and I) to go up a share our most spiritual experience we have had so far. It was pretty nerve racking but not as bad as speaking in sacrament so it was ok. I actually really enjoyed the combined last hour. Bishop asked 3 more people other than us to do the same thing and then opened the time up to whoever else wanted to share a spiritual experience. It was pretty cool.
That is crazy Elder Sagers is training Elder Wiggins! So sweet. Elder Sagers will be a good trainer and Elder Wiggins will learn a lot from him! I can't wait to see Elder Wiggins! I hope he is enjoying his time out here so far. Man does time fly on your mission. I cannot believe I have been out almost 11 months! It is crazy.
I love you all so much and hope your week goes well. This whole government shutting down thing is kind of scaring me so hopefully that doesn't last long.
-Elder Richardson
