Hey!
This week was pretty good but sad at the same time not being at home and all. It was at least different than a normal week which made it seem to go by a little bit faster! We didn't do anything other than e-mail on P-day. I think that is what bothers me the most about this area is that there is nothing to do on P-days! I think it would be different if we had a car but we don't haha.
This Wednesday we had Zone training down in Billings. It was nice to go to Billings and see some other missionaries for a change! This was by far the longest Zone Training I have been to on my mission. We had to get there at 8:30 and we didn't get done until 4:30! I love Zone trainings but man this one was just to long!
Thursday was pretty good seeing as it was Thanksgiving! We went over to the Jacobson's and had a great lunch and then played legos and soccer with their two little kids. It wasn't to bad, we really enjoyed ourselves -but it wasn't anything like Thanksgiving at home!
I seriously missed home a ton this week between Thanksgiving and the fact that Richins is pretty trunky seeing as he goes home this Thursday! I just can't wait to be home for the Holidays next year!! Other than that our week was really uneventful. :/ Everything was shut down Thursday and Friday due to Thanksgiving. I honestly hope I am somewhere else for Christmas but we will see what the Lord thinks next Monday - haha.
It sounds like your week was pretty good! That is awesome you got to be there to see the Davidson's get sealed together! It is so cool that their kids were so calm during the ordinance! I miss the Temple so much! I hope we get to do another Temple trip soon. I wished I could of been there :/
Thanksgiving sounds like it was pretty busy for you guys! 8 Missionaries!!! That is crazy! I am so glad their are members like you guys though that help missionaries feel at home at times like the Holidays! It makes it so much easier!
To answer a couple of your questions my comp and I get along for the most part but he has gotten pretty trunky lately I think it might have to do with the fact that he got his flight info and everything.
I don't know if we are going to be able to get our own tree this year but we found a small fake one in a closet upstairs so we put it up in the living room!
As for axe products I would rather have old spice than axe! I don't really care what scent just get like swagger. Wait until next week to hear if I'm transfered before you mail any Christmas packages!
Love,
Elder Richardson

Hey Dad,
This week has been pretty good. We were able to break our normal routine with having zone conference down in billings and having Thanksgiving on Thursday! It was nice to have a change and see some other missionaries down in Billings!
My comp has got pretty trunky lately which is harder. Seeing him make all these plans for when he gets home makes me think about what I want to do once I get home which isn't good! Haha. He flies home this Thursday so it will be interesting for me since I will be without a companion for about a week. I think I might just stay with the Zone Leaders in Billings but who knows. This week has by far been the slowest missionary work wise. I think it was because of the Holiday so I hope it will kind of pick up.
We are supposed to be having a huge cold front come through which I am not excited about. We heard the high on Thursday is like 4 and the low is -9 and it is supposed to snow like 5-8 inches! (In reality Jake has experienced some pretty cold weather this week with -18 low and 2 degrees high and lots of snow...i'm sure he is missing Tucson!) It should get interesting!
It is awesome that you have so many people wanting to share their testimonies that they line up! This Sunday we had like 16 people come to church so everyone gets to bear their testimony. I can't believe you put the trail cams at the azgfd drinkers! I will not be surprised if they are gone. (Jake was right...one of Scott's trail cams got stolen!) I would at least hike somewhere back in and put one where it has a better chance of surviving! Haha. I hope they are still there and get a few pics. You should put a label on them that says something like property of the US fish and wildlife service. I think the Pentax binos I used from your work had a label like that on it. You better start shooting your bow man! The hunt starts really soon! I can't wait to hear some hunting stories from you! Well I hope you get to do something fun this week! I can't wait to go hunting with you again!
I love you!
-Jake
