Hibiscus - 11/13/2017



Hello everyone!

This week was packed! I went on my first exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders, we set another Baptism date and we talked to a BUNCH of people. 
So, we recently have not had too much luck finding new people to teach, and the ward is really struggling also. So, we decided to focus on the ward. It has been awesome! I love the people here and I think many members just needed to know that they can trust the missionaries. So, a while back there was a sister here who apparently lost the trust of the ward (I don't know details) and then the hurricane happened and now we are here attempting to repair. So, the people here are really struggling but I have noticed that every day it gets a little better. they are starting to really love us as we are starting to really love them. I am very optimistic that we will be able to find someone to teach through these efforts.

Missionary life is THE BEST. I love it so much! I am so fortunate to be a missionary at this time at this place. I can see the Lord working in the lives of these amazing people.

ALSO. There are hibiscus bushes ALL OVER here! It makes me so happy and I finally took a picture with one this week. :) for those who don't know, they are one of my favorite flowers. 

Thank you all for everything that you do for me! Let me know if i can do anything for ya'll! 

The Gospel is true. God lives. Christ lives. They love us so much! Pray for courage to share that! It will be given to you!

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...
