This week has been pretty good!
It was Elder Ficklin's
last week as a missionary and it was the Blooming Arts Festival also! so it was
nuts!
Anyways Thursday and Friday were both spent setting up
for the art festival. We were essentially the heavy lifters for it which is
alright. There are a lot of artsy folk in this ward so the ward was up and down
it. I was more of a quiet observer.
Anyways Saturday was the actual festival.
It was really nice we spent the majority of the day talking to people at the
festival, and making sure nobody stole any of the art! And then once it was
over, everybody left and the taking everything down responsibility fell to us, but oh well. It needed to be done. Afterwords we got
transfer calls, I found out I was going to train, but the missionary's visa
didn't get accepted again! Its the second one in a row! anyways Elder Dutson is
my new companion from Oak City Utah, its a small town between Payson and Delta.
he seems pretty cool though! so that's cool!
Sunday was good, Elder Ficklin said
goodbye to the members and one of the really cool families the Ortons told us
we just radiate happiness and they really like us as the missionaries here. It
was a really kind and nice experience.
Monday was district meeting, I taught
about consecration and missionary work it was one of my better lessons I think.
After words we went to a really cool members house! And we had a really fun
talk about missionary work!
Yesterday was spent by me cleaning and him packing!
We had a really cool thunderstorm yesterday too! And now I'm just moving stuff
around for transfers. But yeah! My new companion seems really cool!
Things are good here! One of our investigators we think
Is meeting with the j-dubs (jehovahs witness) so that stinks we are trying to
get ahold of him but his phone seems to be broken! And our recent convert Ross
is solid! He's going to a members house with us for dinner so it will be
awesome! President Smith is still in Utah! He got set apart today and is at the
MTC with a ton of other new mission presidents now! He gets here on Monday I
think!
The new mission president is being set apart today by Elder Ballard! It's exciting! Just a lot of stuff is happening and it's
really fun!
My comp seems really cool he is a worker which
is rad! I'm looking forward to this cycle I think it will be a good one!
I'm
know this is a good thing to do right now! And I hope I can grow, President told
us today the most important thing about a mission is for you yourself to
change, which is a good thing I think! I'm trying to be my best!
Anyways have a good one! Love you!
Elder Richards
