ELDER JOSEPH RICHARDSON - May 30, 2017 - Week 91: A Change of Plans

Hello everyone!

First things first,  my release date has been moved up to June 6th! I will need to have throat surgery the end of June so that other things can be set for my return to BYU in the fall.  It's been a fun and challenging ride! Thank you for all of your letters, love and support these past 2 years!! Anyways, on to the main letter:

This time around, I thought I'd give a brief description of each of our investigators.

First up are Sharon and Sharon, a mother and an adult daughter who live together with the younger one's kids. They are awesome people, and tons of fun to talk with, but they haven't been keeping their appointments! It's frustrating to have people who would thrive in the church, but deem themselves "too busy" to meet with us. So that's fun....

Another person we are teaching is a girl named Bella. She's pretty funny and has already completed the lessons, but she can't get baptized until her adoption is finalized. So we go over for FHE a lot, so she'll be ready when she can get baptized.

Another one is Thomas. He lives with his family in a trailer out in the boonies of Wittmann, and has been reading and praying, but it's been hard, as he is trying to improve their situation, which is taking priority over coming to church.

Finally, we have Sariah. She's 12 years old, and her parents are less active members. Sariah is just starting to get taught, but she's going to progress pretty fast. She loves dragons and is often playing a "How To Train Your Dragon" game when we come over.

That's the Missionary life for ya!

Keep Hauling That Water,
Elder Joseph Richardson
