FEBRUARY 2020 -- MISSION LETTER #70

MANY MIGHTY MIRACLES
February 2020


We experienced a week of mucho madness. In fact, it was so crazy that I know there were things that happened, but I cannot remember many of them! So, Here's what I can remember!


We met with a family that we have been working with for a while, and we have known that the daughter has wanted to be baptized like her mom and her brothers. So we asked her about when she would like to be baptized, and she agreed to February 8th! She then looked to her dad, who we have also been teaching, and asked, "So are we doing this at the same time?" He was hesitant, and said that he was still wanting to learn more. 

The other night, though, we got a text from him asking about when we were coming by again. We confirmed the appointment, and then he threw in this thought: "I received an answer for my question, and I am ready for baptism!" We are so excited for this family!

We also started teaching a family on Post at Fort Irwin! After some miracles in remembering Social Security numbers to get visitors passes, we were able to get on post to visit a great family. The wife is not a member and the husband has only been coming back to church recently. But they both are invested in coming to church because they know it will be good for their family! We taught them about God's plan for us, about how He sent his Son to be a Savior and Redeemer, and about the loving nature of God! It was incredible! And after, she was asking about what one would have to do to prepare to be baptized!

I know God loves us and loves His Children! I know that I am here doing His work to bless the lives of His children, because of "the multitude of his tender mercies!" (1 Nephi 8:8)

Love, 
Elder Richardson
