ELDER JOSEPH RICHARDSON - March 1, 2016 - Week 27: The Valley

Hello everyone!

This week has been crazy, so let's get started.

Wednesday was Transfers. We both went down to the valley, because we
got to trade in our Jeep for a Nissan Rogue. On the way, we stopped by
a place in Peoria called Dutch Bros Coffee. It's an old Favorite of
Elder Bradshaw's because they have amazing combination drinks that you
can get with no Coffee! I ended up getting a big chocolate milk with
white chocolate in it, called a Pocahontas.

As I've said, I got transferred to Surprise. It's a fun suburban area
in the northwest part of the valley. We've got three wards here, so
things are busy. Elder

On Thursday, we went around dropping by some less actives. We ran into
this guy with like twelve dogs yapping at his door, so he asked if we
could come back later. When we asked for his name, he said "Cheerio",
which might have been his dog's name, but we joked that we'd met a guy
named Cheerio.

Wednesday and Friday nights, we had appointments with a mother and son
who were ready for baptism! Their names are Elissa and Jacob. We
talked about eternal families and temples on Friday, and the spirit
testified super strong of those truths. On Saturday, they were
baptized and I got to confirm the son on Sunday.

Sunday was insane! Like I said, three wards make things busy. We were
at church from 9 to 4pm! It was really great though, surprisingly.

You find weird things in missionary housing. We have a house btw.


Keep Hauling that Water,
Elder Joseph Richardson

P.S. The Valley is hot already!!! :P
