TRANSFER CHANGE...

Hi mom & dad,

Just a quick note to let you know I arrived safe and to give you my address.

So first off our address is: 

6 Sunny Terrace

Riverton, WY 82501

 

Also, just thought I would let you know that my transfer info changed a little bit when I arrived. Instead of being a normal missionary with Elder McGrath I am going to be a Zone Leader here in the Wyoming South Zone. I am pretty excited and know that this will be a way sweet last transfer! I'm excited to serve my fellow missionaries in this new way.

I Love You Both!

-Elder Jake Richardson

                 RIVERTON, WYOMING

The city is an incorporated entity of the state of Wyoming. The community was named Riverton because of the four rivers that meet there.^[7] The town was built on land ceded from the reservation in 1906, a situation that often makes it subject to jurisdictional claims by the nearby Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes.

In December 2013, the US Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Interior and Department of Justice declared Riverton to be a part of the Wind River Indian Reservation, undoing the 1905 law passed by Congress.^[8][9]
