ELDER JOSEPH RICHARDSON - February 28, 2017 - Week 79: Airplanes and Palm Trees

Hey everyone!

This week was pretty exciting. We met some new people, and we've got a
bunch of things going on.

I got to spend some time working on preparations for the new Mission
President this week. I'm going to be emailing with President Collins
before he gets here to keep him updated and help him learn how to use
the different online tools we have. I'm pretty excited!

The highlight of the week was the Peoria Pride service project we got
to go to on Saturday morning. It was a big community effort to clean
up and repaint some of the older houses in Peoria. We got permission
to gather four different zones together to all work at the project
together, so we had 60-70 missionaries all together. It was super fun,
and we all got to spend some time catching up with those we've served
with before. We spent over an hour hand painting the trim on each
house, so there was a lot of time to talk.

Things are going pretty good here. We're still working with that
family of four kids, and had a lesson with them on Saturday night. The
dad works as a mechanic at Luke Air Force base and we talked about the
military and all about the planes he works on. It was cool, because I
heard that Uncle Russ is stationed at Luke now, and I think he might
be being trained on the new F-35 planes they have over there. That was
pretty cool.

That's the bulk of the interesting stuff for this week. I hope
everyone has had a good February!

Keep Hauling That Water,
Elder Joseph Richardson

PS: we also found a cool place out towards the edge of our area where
they're building a resort. It was pretty cool!
