SISTER RICHARDSON
FEBRUARY 24, 2014
New companion! Her name is Sister Waldron. She is 19, just graduated
from high school in 2013. She is from West Jordan Utah. She is
obsessed with Star Wars :) she loves to read and is a very happy
person, wiling to do anything that's asked of her. She knows sign
language which is awesome! I think we will do well together.
Sister Sullivan is oh longer to be the interpreter....we were at a
relief society activity and siste Hancock, one of the deaf sisters
points at me then points to the front of the room...letting me know
that I will be interpreting for her. Haha it was humbling. And a good
check point that yes I am pretty fluent now...but still can learn lots
more! Interpreting is a whole different thing.
This gives you an idea of of how much we eat in a day...this was the
eating schedule of Wednesday. Ate breakfast at home. A member took us
out to eat at Cici's for lunch. We ate dinner at home since we didn't
have a dinner appointment. Went to teach a lesson to a recent convert
family that evening...they had prepared dinner for us. So we ate a
second dinner. Went to a relief society activity about baking bread
and canning chicken...the bread and chicken salad there. Went to a
recent converts house after the activity...they fed us cookie cake.
And that's a normal day. How am I not ginormous? Miracles!
Our m&m program in the ward has been going well! The members are
becoming a lot more involved in missionary work and have been
inviting! Hooray! Our ward is really great...especially our bishop and
ward mission leader. They are great leadership examples to me. Also, I
am now the sacrament meeting organist, primary pianist, and choir
pianist. Hooray!
Last p day we visited the old catholic basilica in downtown st.
Augustine. Felt like I was in Europe again for a bit! On Wednesday, we
went to the deaf and blind school, to their open house. There was a
blind music group...they sang incredibly and played guitar and drums
and keyboard...all memorized of course. It was probably one of the
most inspiring things I've seen! As well as the deaf dance
troupe...they were incredible. They sign/dance the songs. You'll have
to youtube Fsdb dance troupe to see them.
Stephanie came to church this week! Praying for the softening of her
parents heart so she can get baptized.
My faith and patience continues to increase every day! Missions truly
are a refiners fire! He breaks you down so he can build you back
up..just like life :)
Love you all! Happy birthday mom and Rebecca!
