Well the week is already over! Crazy how it
flies. Each moment a precious gift from God.
This week has been a blessing. God has blessed me
with the opportunity to see every single one of my comps with in a week period!
Well all but one, Soeur Bayles. I saw Soeur Bentley, Mod, Caldwell, Bowman,
Obel, Roberts, Beeny...and will see Soeur Luthi tonight! It has been a
blast!!!! Honestly it was a blessing much needed! I try not to dwell on the
fact that time is limited. I DONT want it to end. The thought sickens me. But
"it will all work out" #PresHinckley I have adopted that as my theme
for this next little period of time of my life. I don’t know exactly in what
ways things will work out, where exactly I am headed BUT "it will all work
out"!!
So the big news of last week is.............IM A
GRANDMA!!! Yes one of my baby blues trained!!!! Soeur Caldwell! The best part
about it is I got to be at the birth! hahaha meaning when the blues received
their trainers!! It was actually quite a joyous experience! I just LOVE Souer
Caldwell and her sweet Blue Soeur Holmes is fabulous! I was soooo happy for
them both! They are lucky to have each other!
This week was CRAZY! We literally had 16+ Sisters
staying at our apartment each night this week. It was rather exhausting! But
its crazy how much help I have felt from the other side of the veil. Quite
literally...I have never felt so supported. I cant help but think of all my
ancestors standing beside me, learning on me when I am needing that extra
energy. Especially Granddad. I know he is beside be me. It’s a touchingly
unique experience. With all the hassle and bustle of transfer week, old
missionaries leaving, new missionaries coming we got to work loads with the
APs. I am so blown away by their spirits and dedication! I think they started
to feel bad for how much was thrown upon our equipe! There was a moment when we
were trying to get answers from them about the next group of 16+ sisters to
stay with us and they just realized how crazy it was.....then they started
feeling guilty and avoided our questions by laughing and running away....next
thing you know we are chasing the APs down 2 flights of stairs in an uproar of
"yeehaws" and "woot woots" only to end up in a big huge
laugh attack!! I seriously have so much respect for all the things they do! AP
would be HARD! Respect for all those who served as AP! Woof! Elder Taua and
Elvidge are two of the greatest missionaries I know! We have way too much fun!!
Even though we had crazy amounts of Sisters in
and out all week we got a solid amount of work done! We had fixed all our rdvs
for the weekend so we spent the weekend RUNNING all over Lyon! Goodness I love
this work! I am so blessed to be apart of it! It literally is a joy to drag my
dead body out of bed each morning, put on my tag, and serve others! My flesh
may feel weak but my spirit is willing 150 percent! This is His work! I love
it, I live it, It is who I am. Oh how grateful I am.
Have a fabulous week!
Love you all.
Soeur Richardson
