SISTER MELISSA RICHARDSON WEEKLY LETTER #59: AUGUST 26, 2014

SISTER MELISSA RICHARDSON
AUGUST 26, 2014

It was a long and HOT week! We didn't get to teach as much as we
would've liked as most of our appointments fell through and
investigators dropped us! But it's better to focus on the positive
anyway!!

So here are some awesome things that happened!
-Our investigator Crystal got engaged!! Her fiancé is a less active
member. Well he's active now. We are so excited for them! As soon as
they set a wedding date, we will set a baptism date for soon after.
-we have been trying to figure out how to get a less active sister
have a desire to come to church and out an effort into gospel things.
We found the secret! Family History! We took her to the family history
center on Tuesday and she was in heaven! She was so excited when she
found names, it should have been recorded for a church film. She
didn't want to leave and said she is going to go back every week.
Hooray! Family history miracle! While we were there, I loved reading
all the stories of my ancestors and can't wait until I'll have more
time to work on family history because it is so fun! Even just to read
he stories and look at the pictures! Take advantage of the opportunity
you have of the constant access to family search!
-we had zone conference! Always a missionary party. I think it's
hilarious that we all LOVE zone conference, and it's basically sitting
in a meeting from 9-5. But it's exhilarating. It's hard to understand
unless you've experienced it.
-we had been trying to figure out a fellowship family for an
investigator and her family then a miracle happened and she became
friends with Sister Cottam, a member, and her family on her own!
Exemplifies the principle of us just doing our best and then getting
our of the way for the Lord and the Spirit do their work too.
-I've continued to love seeing the Luna family change as the spirit
has worked in their hearts. Sister Luna said that they have started
praying before dinner and that they spend more time together as a
family. And that little Jose gathers them all for family prayer at
night. We are going to take them to Wednesday night activities this
week.

August has passed by in a blink! But I'm excited for the great things
that will happen in September here in this area!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BETHANY MY BESTEST BUDDY!!! (Along with Rachel and
Rebecca...don't worry I love you too.) But I love you Bethany and
think you are beautiful and great and I love seeing your example to
me! Thanks for always being my movie, Lucy, and sleepover and
everything buddy. :)
