LAST WEEK at the MTC!!!! - 10/14/2017


Hello my beautiful friends and family!!!

So, I don't have too much time today because it is my last Preparation day and I have to pack so that I can leave on Monday morning! I am so excited to finally get to Texas!!!

So a few notable things happened this week:

On Tuesday for Devotional Elder D Todd Christofferson came and spoke to us! For those who don't know, he is an apostle of The Lord Jesus Christ. He talked about the Book of Mormon and how important is in our lives. I learned a lot! 
Tuesday was also Hermana Larson's birthday and so we had a little mini party for her with cake and party hats. It was a good time. She turned 20 and so we together said 20 things that we all like about her. She is so cool! 
Yesterday we got to attend the Dedication of the new MTC buildings. President Henry B Eyring dedicated the buildings and Elder Dallin H Oaks and Bonnie L Oscarson also talked to us. It was an amazing experience. I will never forget it and I truly felt the spirit of the Lord in the room with all of us. 
IT WAS AN AWESOME WEEK!

Anyway, I better get packing and getting ready to go!!! I love you all so much and feel free to email me! Also, please don't send any more lettters to the MTC. Once I get to the mission field my address for mail will be:
 
Hermana Lara Richardson
Texas McAllen Mission
200 West La Vista Avenue
McAllen, TC 78501

As always, my mom (donnasdaisies@gmail.com) has all my pictures!
 I love you all!!!

Hola padres!!!!!
I love you guys so so much! I have to pack and everything today and so
I don't have much time! Do you have any questions for me?
I think I will be able to call you guys at the airport. I don't know
exactly what time but expect a call from me Monday morning sometime.
I love the MTC but I am so excited to serve the people in Texas!
Love,
Hermana Richardson

Thank you so much! I need the prayers!
Also, I've decided to learn how to play the piano. Hahaha
I felt like this Spirit was prompting me to do it and so now I try to
find time to practice each day.
Pray for me!


I just went to the temple and there was this old Mexican lady and so I started to talk to her in Spanish! She was so nice and she kept talking to me! She's from Chihuahua and she went on and on about how pretty I am and about how I am going to receive so many blessings for my service and I am going to be a blessing in so many people's lives. She even teared up a bit! She was soooo cute. I am so excited to meet more people!

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...
