Happy National Corn Dog Day! - 3/19/2018

Hello my beautiful friends and family! I hope this email finds you healthy and well.

This week was pretty cool. Last night we had a youth fireside about technology that my companion and I taught. We talked a lot about technology safety and sharing the gospel over social media. It was pretty cool! We got a lot of people to post on Facebook about their testimonies about the Book of Mormon!

This week we also did an exchange with some of our Sister Training Leaders to Annaville, Texas. Annaville is a lot more sketchy than Corpus Christi and so we had a lot of fun! Saturday was the day with did the exchange and it was also St. Patrick's Day but more importantly it was National Corn Dog Day and so there is a picture of Sister Pruhs and I getting corn dogs! It was a pretty fun day.

We also got a referral from our Bishop of a lady to go visit and we did and her name is Michelle and she is so cool! We have started teaching her and so far she loves it and wants to be part of it. She has an adorable autistic grandson who is maybe 6 or 7 named Cody. The first time we went over there we started teaching Michelle and then Cody came out of his room and came and gave us these little hugs and smiled really big at us and was being so nice to everyone. And Michelle was like, "Wow he is never that friendly and nice to people" and I thought that was so cool! He could definitely feel the spirit and his pure heart knew that we were the sources of that spirit at that time! Cool stuff!

I love Texas and I love the people here!

I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. I know that his true church is back on the earth today and anyone who wants to know that too, can! We just have to ask and God with show us the truth. James 1:5- Ask and you will receive! We can receive peace in this life and eternal joy in the life to come through His way. <3

Don't ever forget to take the little moments you have to enjoy the beautiful world around us. It was made for us to experience and enjoy!

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...
