SISTER MELISSA RICHARDSON WEEKLY LETTER #47 -- JUNE 2, 2014

SISTER MELISSA RICHARDSON
JUNE 2, 2014


Happy June! I can't believe it's summer now! Florida doesn't really have seasons...it's been hot for months, but it's officially "summer time" now. 
Sister Gillman and I have had a good week! We have had a lot of investigators drop us...so we have been back to doing lots of finding this week.  Lots of talking to everyone and tracting and visiting potentials.  There are about 5 housing complexes...and that is our area. 
Brittany got confirmed yesterday! I loved hearing her talk about how she felt at baptism and then again when she received the gift of Holy Ghost. 
We had a great lesson with the Luna family this week.  We were at the right place at the right time and were able to teach one of the teenage daughter's friends that was there and that sat in on the lesson.  Sister Luna said the closing prayer and she teared up afterwards and said that that was the first time she had really, from the heart prayed.  It was one of those moments where any trial you've been through seems so worth it for you to be there at that moment and share the spirit with someone.  Teach them how to be closer to Christ so they can be "self-sufficient" and do it on their own. 
We are working on helping the members gain more confidence in doing missionary work.  There is a great article about it in this month's Ensign!
I had a lot of dogs slobber on my skirts this week and try to flip up my skirts with their noses.  It was extremely annoying. 
But I'm still doing good over here! Every week is progress on myself and on the work here in St. Johns! :)
Sister Richardson
