SISTER MELISSA RICHARDSON
SEPT 1, 2014
Last night we helped with a music fireside held in Palatka that was
put on by the missionaries. It was a beautiful night of music! I ended
up accompanying 5 songs! There was a beautiful spirit there.
Some big news of the week is that we set a baptism date with Crystal!
It will be a week after their wedding. She is so excited! I have loved
seeing the gospel change her and her desires. Her fiancé is active now
too in part due to her influence. She gave us her mom as a referral
and said her mom has been doing a lot of family history lately! So we
plan on taking them to the family history center soon.
Another achievement was getting the Luna girls to mutual activities on
Wednesday night! They really liked it and seemed more comfortable and
happy at church this Sunday. We also helped Sister Luna set up her
family history account. Little Jose went to his first scout activity
this week too.
Had a great lesson with Montee AND her two girls! They are finally
back for good with school having started. They are still really
interested too! They were supposed to all come to church this Sunday,
but Montee who works as a night nurse and wasn't able to make it. So
next week! :) We love them!
The bishops family's neighbor came to church this Sunday, the whole
family! We plan to teach them in the Bishops home this week.
We did lots of fun service this week--helping elderly Sister Henry
vacuum her couch and put on a couch cover, then teaching her how to
play a CD on her computer. We helped a sister finish floral
arrangements for a wedding in the ward. That was fun! We also helped
the Luna's lay down a ground cover and then out down mulch in their
front flower bed area. Service is my favorite part of missionary work!
Because you can immediately see the results of how you've helped
people.
I played a piano solo in district meeting this week!
I got to spend time with Jaime today! She's a recent convert from the
St. Augustine Shores ward that I was close to. We met up at Dunkin
donuts and then she came to the outlets with us. I've missed her! And
enjoyed getting an update on her life.
Life is good! I'm glad it's September which means there's a chance of
it cooling down sometime soon. Here's a quote by Elder Bednar that
Grandma Richardson shared with me that I really like: "Ordinary people
who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are
right before God will bring forth extraordinary results."
Don't be afraid to share the gospel!
Sister Richardson
