Dogs in the Rio Grande Valley - 5/21/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! I hope this email finds you all well and healthy.
This week was great!!! We had a miracle! One of our investigators was about to have his work schedule changed and he really though he was going to have to work on Sunday mornings. We were super worried because then we wouldn't be able to come to church. So, Sister Hatch and I decided to fast from deserts for a whole week so that he could come to church. We did and guess what? He doesn't have to work on Sunday mornings! It was a blessing for sure. 
Other than that, it was kind of a slow week. So, I made the best of it by befriending all the dogs that are loose in the Rio Grande Valley with treats! There's seriously SO many stray dogs and cats here it's crazy. Everyone just lets their pets go loose and they don't care so obviously they multiply and all that jazz. So, I make them all my friends. The other picture is this MASSIVE beetle that we saw. I don't if you can tell the scare, but it was HUGE and nasty. Everything really is bigger in Texas. I love it. 

Anyway, feel free to write and email! I love hearing from you all! My address is:
2507 E Franklin Ave Apt D
Alton, Texas 78573
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

Rewards 😁 - 10/22/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! First and foremost, I am profusely sorry that I did not write an email to all of you last week. And unfortunately this week it's going to be short again. We went paint-balling today and it was so much fun! We hit our goals last month and so we got to go paintball together as a reward. It was a blast. Pictures inserted. You also all might be glad to know that DARLENE CAME TO CHURCH! We had pretty much given up on her but then she came to church and she loved it! It was an awesome Sunday and we're so happy for her. She got a lot out of it. Other than that it was a pretty normal week. It's mine and Sister Chavez's and last week together and were going to make the very best of it. I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week. Always remember how much you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father. No matter what you do, He's there for you. No matter what.  -Hermana Lara Richardson

Food for Darlene - 10/1/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! This week was a great week! One of our investigators named Vida came to church yesterday! She hadn't been progressing a whole lot and so we really didn't think she would come but she did. She liked it but she said it was a bit long haha.  In other news Sister Chavez was sick this week with a cold and allergies. So, we stayed in for one and a half days to let her recoup. I was super bored and I was so happy that she was getting better until I woke up yesterday morning with a minor sore throat and today I woke up with it worse! I'm getting what she had. It's just a bad cold but I'd rather not get it at all. There were two baptisms in our Branch this week. Adolfo and Daisy. They were both so ecstatic and it was wonderful to see their progress.  *MIRACLE* OKAY SO, One of the days that Sister Chavez was sick, I was at my desk trying to study some more while she slept when we got a text from Darlene (another one o...
