Hey!
First thing first, I will be staying here in Harlowton and my companion will be...... Elder Sagers! Yup that's right the one I trained. This last week has been pretty crazy with Elder Richins leaving and all. Elder Richins and I were under the impression we were going to Billings Wednesday night and I would wait for a new companion and come back, well that all changed. The Zone Leaders and Elder Sagers came Wednesday night and stayed the night. The next morning they took Elder Richins to Billings so he could head home and Elder Sagers was staying with me until transfers. He was told he was only going to be here for like 6 days. Well that all changed last night when we got called with transfer info. We found out Elder Sagers and I are both going to be staying here this transfer! I am pretty excited! I am a little unsure about how good Christmas is going to be in Harlo but at least I have a companion I know and like! Other than that not much happened haha.

We went to the sportsman's bar and grill for lunch one day and ended up teaching the whole first lesson to a truck driver at the bar there. We ended up giving him a hard copy of the Book of Mormon and a copy of it on CD so he could listen to it while driving his semi along with the first three lesson pamphlets! It was a very neat experience. We also got to go to a elementary school Christmas play which was fun. We were able to watch the Christmas Devotional last night which was so nice! I love hearing from the leaders of our church!
The weather here has sucked lately! The coldest I have been in has been -21 but there was a day it was -17 but with the wind chill it felt like -32!!!!! I was dying and yes we have to walk around in this crap! Haha. I wish we had a car soooo badddd! I guess this next week it is supposed to warm back up to like 30 or something so I am looking forward to that!
That is so cool that you are going to go out with the Sister Missionaries! My advice to you would just be bear simple but powerful testimony! You will do great! I hope you have a great week! I can not wait to Skype you guys! Also I haven't wrote Barbara back because I need her address so if you could get that to me that would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Love,
Elder Richardson

Hey Dad!
Well transfer info came last night and I am going to be staying here in Harlo and my companion is going to be Elder Sagers! Kind of crazy to be companions with someone who you trained. He has grown so much as a missionary since we were together. I am excited to see what this transfer brings! I am especially excited to try some new finding ideas since it is around Christmas time. Elder Sagers actually came to Harlo last Thursday and took Elder RIchins place so I could stay in my area. He was only supposed to be here until transfers but President felt good about the two of us being together and decided to leave him here. I don't know how excited I am to be in Harlo for Christmas but at least I will have a companion I like! I just hope we can have a fun Christmas. I got spoiled last year being in Kalispell though.
Well I guess I can say I told you so! Haha. I knew at least one trail camera would get stolen! At least you still have one because I thought they would both be gone for sure! You got some pretty cool pics on that one though...but did you even get a picture of a single deer? I guess you learned your lesson though! Haha. That is cool you got to see some deer. Doesn't the December bow hunt start like this week? You better get ready! I wish I could be there so bad!!!!! I can not wait to be chasing deer with you in a year!! I am so pumped.
The Christmas devotional last night was great! President Monson did not look to good though. Also I thought it was interesting how many visuals they used during Elder Nelson's talk. Looks like the church is really starting to use technology a lot more these days.
Well I hope you have a great week and get out a couple of times to shoot your bow and see some deer.
I love ya tons!!!
